I pick up my old race bike soon ...

But can't race it yet :(

Got some top news from a good mate ... :):D:thanks:

Just got off the phone to a mate of mine (engineer/guru/mad scientist) who is throwing some cash my way to get me back into racing on 250cc bikes!!! How cool is that.

He's a pommy Einstein with bikes and use to race proddies (250cc) in the UK. He's taking delivery of my race bike this weekend and setting it up for the Mallala circuit over the next couple of weeks. This might also include a strenthened bottom end, race exhaust system, and rejetting. Excited much? :(

Problem is ... I'm working in Victoria (Phillip Island) for the V8 Supercars and MotoGP over the next few months ... so I can't be there to help set it up. So its kinda handy he's helping out in a big way :D But he's a skinny runt at 70kg and I'm 85kg!

My first session on it might be early December. Racing season starts February 2010. Not really much time when you think about it. ... now where's that mountain bike?

i bought a sticker for my car off ebay. it says '100% jesus.'

im so gonna win a best graphics award at the christian car show.

    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol
    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
