Be more specific Sammy, Ev or the bike? :D

If your referring to the bike, we are entered for this years Oz titles at Eastern Creek starting November 16th.
The boys did a great job getting the frame straight while I was laid up and mechanically it's ready to go.
But it is a race against time to organize new bodywork.
At the moment all we have is a big pile of fiberglass.
I intend to get a new topic up shortly.

I would have liked to have been able to do the Southern Classic, but it was not to be.
We won this event last year and it's all ways nice to defend a title. :(
I will still be there though, giving a couple of mates a hand and drinking as much of their beer as I can.
So if any bodies going and you happen to spot an old fella hobbling around on sticks, say g'day it's probably me and I'm always up for a chat. :D

As for Ev, that's on a need to know basis and you don't need to know. ;D

Cheers,
Brian

Best wishes mate and hope that it all comes together for you and the crew.
You've jumped some bloody big hurdles mate and you deserve to be able to get out there and kick some arse.  8)
If I was you
I'd be worried about me.

Thanks Mick.
It's more likely that I'll be the kickee rather than the kicker. ;D
