Will be heading off Weds arvo (after work)Did you look at joining the Sheene ride thursday morning?Will be on the ZX14 with panniers - ZZR-14 numberplate - am sure you'd be able to find me out of the 1,000 odd bikes Give us a buzz when you get to Cowes - 0418 544 763 - definitely up for a beer down the main street.Faaaark!Had a bad lead up - our accommodation at Cowes got cancelled on us a week out, so we had no option but to find somewhere in Cape Wollumi instead. By the time the bus got us back to our accommodation we were all too pooped to head into Cowes - but if I knew your number I would have headed in...... fark!Fantastic race - and the ride between Omeo and Corryong was simply epic! Some of the best roads ive ever ridden on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ms700 Moderating Team 10,170 Member For: 21y 9m 15d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 23/10/15 08:04 AM Share Posted 23/10/15 08:04 AM Cape Woolami (or however you bloody spell it) is still on Phillip Island, so we didnt have to cross the bridge. Where we stayed was about five kays past the chocolate factory on your left as you drive in. Theres a tavern, pizza shop, stonegrill restaurant, supermarket, hamburger place etc so it was more than adequate. It was obviously a tad more quiet than say Cowes, but this trip being our first we were more than happy.Oh most friggin definately we will be back! Ive already contacted a managing agent that looks after holiday homes, to see if we can get some accommodation in Cowes next year. So keen! Some of the lads want to do the track day on the monday directly after the race. Aparrently theres a track day?!?!?!And we are throwing up the idea of the Supers in late February too...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty awesome to drop into the shop and chat with "Shirl the Curl". Farken heartbreaking when he passed away.The blokes who camp beside me every year do the cruise down from Sydney each year - making sure they choose a different route each year and plan a spare day to do something new. This year it was the Vic Markets on the Friday (yeah - they rode from Cowes to checkout the Vic Markets in Melbourne)We're looking at heading to the camp ground at the track next year (never tried it before) and getting down and dirty with the unwashed yobs. (caravan park is getting too "family friendly" - lights out by 10pm etc)Am wrapped you got to be there for what was the best racing weekend in over a decade - am scared the next one won't have a chance of measuring up.Superbike weekend is great - less people, but every one who attends is actually a bike rider. So much more a feeling of brotherhood with the crowd. Used to be my favorite weekend of the 2, but the Supers are definitely becoming the "also ran" of the sport :( 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
