Stationary
Someone keeps stealing my office stationary!!
Very annoying
This site is the skid mark on the underpants of society.
I went up the Old Road yesterday with a friend of mine (he's in the A group on Eastern Creek Track Days), and got him to stay behind me and critique my riding.

















I bought these lines a couple of months ago, but have only just got around to installing them. While I was at it, I also flushed out my hydraulic clutch system. End result: Better brakes and clean fluids.






Had my first experience at Oran Park yesterday. I dont like this track
I had 3 close calls:
1) My boot scraped on turn three (the right turn after the tunnel)
which caught me by surprised. That caused me to chop my throttle mid
corner causing my bike to shake like hell.
2) I had a little too much speed for my liking when entering turn 4
(the turn before the bridge). I was too scared to commit to the turn,
so I left the bike stood up and went for some hard braking. I thought
I was going to go off the track into the grass, but the bike was able
to stop in time.
3) I was overtaking on the outside lane of two bikes at the quick
right/left section (the second right hander after the bridge). These
guys went really wide after the right hander's apex and forced me off
the track. I went flying onto the grass and steered my bike to the
finish of the left hander portion of that section (refer to forsters
dip in the image below - it might make my description a bit clearer).
As soon as I went on the grass, i thought i was going to fall over.
Lucky the ground was solid and there wasn't any gravel/mud to bog my
wheels.

I timed myself twice (out of the seven sessions):
Fastest Lap on Round 5 = 1.46.7
Fastest Lap on Round 7 = 1.49.*

For anyone that cares, the Suzuki SV1000S (K6) has a magnetic sump plug as a stock standard feature. I was quite impressed by this when I did my oil change over the weekend. I tried googling for this information prior to doing my oil change to work out whether i was going to order one from the states - but couldnt find anything. Hopefully google picks this up for other people.
