In like Flynn.

[Arwon]

This is a great little track to start on. It is tighter than barbs and will hone your technique at slower speeds.

[Uncle Flash]

Yes, but no scooters again.

Isn't Collie an anti-clockwise track?

[Arwon]

Yes it is .

whilst it is much lower gears (2-4 on the 600, and for many 2+3 only on the 1000's)

the average lap speed is only down from wanneroo by about 15kmh.

have fun down there, the track is genuinley awesome.

(oh and sorry arwon, you've got to chase 46.2 now if you want to keep up)

[RsvPaul]

ive tried ringing the office but all im getting is answering machine
Im interested in going in this

[Arwon]

I have only ridden it twice so I'll have some time over summer to get used to it. Let's see how we go.

See you all down there. Will be good to do a track with more than 1 left, especially considering my body positioning is better on lefts for some reason.

[RsvPaul]

Im that guy and i are in, looking 4rd to this. Its my first time
any1 got any pointers apart from forget what you think you know, just listen to the instructors

[96]

Relax over the bumps... Just let the bikes suspension deal with them. Don't hold on super tight as it will just wear you out and make it feel horrible.

[The Nurse 40]

Its Christmas! Taking one of the eye candy bike riding boys to our ED xmas party on the canals in ....YEP ...Mandurah! Plan to be hung over as, so OUT!
Oh!...fairings and stuff still at straightline210! So I kinda dont got a bike!!!

[chief wiggum]

i've still got a hardon from this. awesome day. first time at collie, first time on the r6 which was interesting cos i started trying to ride it like the zx12.....doesnt work that way. i think i spent more time with my knee on the deck today than i have in my entire riding career. and i think i got more prep done on the bike in the last 24hrs than the past 18 months that ive had it, its amazing what booking yourself in to a rideday can do for your motivation. a+++, will do again

[GD66]

Nice going Chief. Lotsa people have a bit of a phobia about Collie (7 corners in a mile, bumpy, turning left etc) but it's a good fun, scratchy, bumpy, club circuit which is good, old-fashioned fun. On Ya !

[Neil-51]

Good to hear you finished upright Chief. Collie is a hoot isn't it.

[chief wiggum]

that was me in front at the start (first video)

[96]

Very nice lines stewy. Sharp turn in, gradual exits, means you can brake later, and accelerate harder. Late entry into the kink means you keep tight on the exit and get a smother straighter run at the chicane, alot of people get sucked into aiming at the start if the kink, but a late apex is brilliant.

Your run from 2, over the bumps, into 'the off camber' corner at 3, looks remarkabley similar to mine. Quite a shallow entry into 3, but much wider and you will find the track goes very off camber. Also, that pass there at 4minutes was text book. Probably my favorite place to pass.

Thoroughly enjoyed that video.

Awesome day. Booking in for the 22nd. Was definitely hard on the body. Mal
