Quiet in town - very quiet.Sadly didn't ride this year - son, daughter and sons mate wanted to come down too so 4 wheeled it down here.Low crowds = easy drive rather than hours getting out of the carpark.Bit of a shame Marquez sealed the title last week - would have loved him to do it here, but with nothing to lose he should be up for some spectacular riding.Just found out there's a couple of rounds of the Supercross championship on at the track over the weekend too - should see some great bike action 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big guy called Scary that rides a 1300 Huyabusa. I did the run down to the snowy ride last year with him and he often comes on our weekly Sunday morning run that we do. Sounds like a good run mate. Enjoy.....I'll be down there in 2 weeks time for the snowy ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
