Look's like some big surprises after qualifying, Bau Beaton on pole on the Vincent.

simon#42 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 22, 2016, 03:35:52 PM »

have just seen that , on pole by nearly three and a half bloody seconds !
either that is the fastest Vincent in the world or he should be in motogp

I bet too mate, seems like a huge advantage to the Vincent, if it stays upright, he'll win by about 3 days.....

Beaton by a wisker from McWilliams in the first race, looks like it's going to be close between the Aussies and Poms again.

It's a dry track but the trap times early in the day where pretty slow, l think they must be pushing into a head wind on Gardiner.

Few unfortunate crashes today, bit windy but dry...wind coming from SW so making turn 1 interesting....that Vincent is awesome, Cam Donald is quick too....this place is a hoot, such an awesome event, gets bigger every year....I'm exhausted from all the bike perving.
Brian are you here?

Brian's probably reclining in a comfy chair by his big fancy caravan drinking piss with his scary looking mates Pete, don't disturb him.........

petercb750 · « **Reply #42 on:** January 23, 2016, 01:54:52 PM »

Light drizzle at the track, same as yesterday and it cleared about 11.
Cloud already looks like it's lifting, 9am now.

bear · « **Reply #43 on:** January 23, 2016, 02:47:58 PM »

Sorry Pete, didn't get down. I'm struggling a bit at the moment and just couldn't make it sorry.
I sent Tez a txt yesterday.

Cheers,
Brian

According to Glenn his mother was born in Manchester.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth Simon.

It looks like their using the support classes as canon fodder on the wet track before they send out the International Challenge bikes.

It's usally the sidecars.

Oh wait ..........they have.

bear · « **Reply #46 on:** January 23, 2016, 04:49:38 PM »

Looks like the Vincent has expired and dumped oil on the track.

Hey Simon we need Glen back.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #48 on:** January 23, 2016, 07:03:02 PM »

Ha ha, well I had a great ride down on the magnificent Sporty, I was lucky enough to get rained on several times, but I arrived safe and dry and caught up with Pete. I've changed phone numbers when I changed jobs Brian, I'll pm you the new number.

petercb750 · « **Reply #49 on:** January 24, 2016, 12:17:42 AM »

Good to catch up Tez....what a great day....apart from those poms taking home the bacon....but McWilliams was pretty quick in that last race, very impressive.
