Was at Philip Island for 5 days of the Super bikes.
Day 1. Ride down from Melbourne, Setup camp and watch the bikes doin circle work in the dirt on bikes ranging from trail bikes to sports bikes.
Day 2 (Friday).Watch the warm ups and practice sessions
Night came and more circle work, this time on the concrete pad in front of the band.
Day 3 (sat). Some races, more practice sesions, watch Ruben Xaus fall off, Pit walk and meet the riders, drool over the bikes, get kicked out of the pits for drooling over the race bikes (not really as they wouldn't let us that close) Bikes look awsome. More of the same in the evening.
Day 4 Sunday . The race, Awsome day, races all day and awsome atmosphere, Being 30 meters from the main straight when these bike are goin past at 270k if GREAT. Also the new CBR 600RR is going faster down the main straight than Shawn Giles GSX1000R (Woosy bike anyway).
Day 5 Monday. Ride around Phillip Island Race track, Ye Ha. 2 session of 20 minutes each. Had a great time, passed 2 police that breath tested us doin 220 at the start of gardiner straight, Over took an R1 on the track, then took a lap to chase down an SP1 but passed him on the straight (the Bird is king) and nearly shit my self comming into turn one.
Great fun and every one has to do it!!!
Then rode up to canberra up the coast via overnite at Tathra, then up to batemans bay and up the clide mountain, The ride up the clide mountain is like the mundaring where ride but more corners closer together, corners sign posted ranging from 20k/hr to 75 k/ph for about 60 - 70 k's
Agan every one has to fide these roades.
Next I'm off to ride through Cooma, kancoben, threadbo I'll keep you posted.
Photos will be following.
