    Newbie...

    Hi Guys,

    Had a look at the forum a few times and thought i'd sign up...

    Had a big break from bikes after an accident on the Great Ocean Road (2 GS thou's and a Commodore) Have been back on two wheels for a year now, all good.

    My ride is an '01 VFR 800, love it. My mates have been egging me on for ages to do a track day so finally did one on a mates R6 at Collie last month, awesome day. If anyone is thinkin of doing one Trakdays run a good show, recommended!

    Booked in the VFR at Barbagallo with MCRCWA for this Sunday (tomorrow!) Think i'm hooked! Anyone going?!!

    PS my user name is not my riding style! ;-)

    Welcome to the forum ardnfast. hope you link up with some like minded folk.

    I am glad you keep it on the track where it belongs,. I imagine well all struggle to keep to the limits & it has been a lifetime since I was last on Waneroo Raceway & broke a finger.
    Regards,

    Sooty.

    Another perfect day in paradise.

    My user name probably does match my riding style, but we get all types on here. So it seems you got back in the saddle with the outlook of improving yourself. That is to be commended. Trakdayz is held in high regard by many riders here. Welcome aboard.
    Close your eyes and open your mind, as you become aware of your breathing slowing down... feel the deepest presence in every contraction and expansion as the invigorgating and calming oxygen floats you into a cloud of love and acceptance... As you relax, you will begin to feel the insight of your own existence... You are now at peace... You now agree with all of the opinions in this post... You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.

    You on the blue Viffer? Saw you out there. Did a few quick bog laps of the pits then sat at turn 1 in the shade of McCrackan House with SpeedTrip and ChazzyG Didn't quite make it all the way to where Group 1 was... which is where I assume you were.

    ^ lol

    I would definately do a track day but on the 125 it hardly seems worth it, coz i can push it to the limits on the road and its still LEGAL ha ha ha.

    yeah, im the one you're overtaking on the freeway....

    they vary depending on who you go with (mcrcwa/trakdayz/championsride) and on which group (novice/advanced) but it starts at $200 and goes down to $140
