Track day at Oran Park on Saturday the 1st of December 2007


Yep, I'm hooked and this time of year seems to be the best time to do it.

Book through the NSW Road and Track Bikes site (free internet club like us) and it costs $120 with our own garage/pits.

Here's the thread on that site:

If you're not already a member there, you need to log in and send them your details and payment.

Places are filling fast, so if you want to do it sign up soon!

(keep in mind that this one clashes with the Jindy ride so don't double-book yourself)

Like to Pan but already booked in for the Hayabusa Jindy ride.

Probably one of the last chances to mimick heroes of yesteryear. Oran Park I hear, is closing soon.

Great day. Started with rain, but cleared up...

I started in D grade, went to C grade and had a run in B grade in the afternoon!

Had a run in D grade again at the end of the day and this happened!











Good news. Didn't drop it. Didn't get injured (apart from my pride)

I continued the good form from EC a couple of months back and got both knees down

EC: looked like this



OP: now looks like this!

[bandit]

Now you know it's a road bike don't ya pan?


Glad there was no harm done

[NEMESIS]

How did that happen?
Run abit wide?

[abusa]

Ouch hope the damage report isnt too bad!

[LOAFIE]

JEEZUS ,we leave you unsupervised for a weekend and you do THAT. Glad to hear you and the bike are OK

[BUSGO]

Some of my friends have told me that the 99 busa was a bit agricultural by today's standards.

How am I gonna live this down now?


Really glad that you pulled her up ok PAN. That's what I would call running DEEP rather than wide.

How did that happen?
Run abit wide?

Went too hot into turn 4!

Ouch hope the damage report isnt too bad!

No damage. Rode out slowly in 3rd gear when the racing had ended.
Just my pride damaged!

[Coach]

Pan you did say you were looking forward to the experience but you didnt tell me you were going trail biking

[kawasuki]

Did u get some lap times?

[pan]

Did u get some lap times?

Nup. Sold my lap timer 6 months ago...

I was counting in my head and I think I did about a 1min 15sec...


(seriously though, I'd say between 1:35 and 1:50 when it was dry maybe )

Looks like you had an awesome weekend there Pan, shame it clashed with Jindy.

Nice pics also. You do realise that scraping the fairing and the footlegs by riding through ditches doesn't count.

You really shoulda sacrificed Oran Park for Jindy. I put both knees down a heap on the way home in the dry. Than Monaro Highway is a wicked Busa road.

All I need now is new sliders. Any body got cheap sliders???

PS, Did anybody on the Loop ride at Jindy see if me tag the right side of my fairing on the loop ride? Got home and I've got marks on the hump over the oil cap. Looks like if brushed gravel or a stick.
