Just (re)fitted an Avon AM22 110/80X18 to front of TMO. We tried this tyre a year or so back but certain people weren't happy with it however that person doesn't push the bike as hard as I do so itshould be interesting to see how we go. My main concern with the last tyre we had was the instabilty into turn one at EC.

PCRA RND 4 2009 ORAN PARK
Its only due to Thumper500 putting more shots up on his photobucket site that i'm writing this as it seens so long ago....
Round 4 2009 was help at Oran Park GP circuit Sunday 5th July, and as always at OP the racing was great. Such a loss McMansions on our beloved race track.....
Leg one 350 - unlimited FE/PC
Had a great start, and was chasing Bruce Ireland on his TZ750 I really can't remember which lap it was but natsoft says the field completed 2 laps which probably means Bruce crashed on the second lap - I stand to be corrected..
Before his off Bruce out accelerated me down the staright and as I hit the dip and was readying myself to smack TMO (The Mighty One) down a gear in prep for turn one I saw Bruce run wide and onto the dirt after said turn one, and from my POV it was dirt, dust, arms and legs and bike. The bike and Bruce had come to rest as I went past.
Bruce broke his collarbone and sadley has been missing in action since then, however I have spotted him out and about on his ZXR1200 courier bike.

BSFoS contd.
The lead up to BSFoS was busier than we expected.
I hadn't raced the bike there since 08 and a number of mods had been done on it since then. Not to bore you with te dettails but a quick action throttle had been added, a change of front tyre (again) and a change of front brake m/c size had been done.
The bike was ready to go for an ARDC pribate practice day prior to the 'Sheene- well we though it was only to discover witth a week to go that the front brake M'C was jammed.
Not a good way to be prepping for the most important Historic meeting in NSW.
As the CX was not ready I took Scott's VFR400 out to the track (and my KR125) and spent the day trying to get under 2.00 min.
My thugght was if I could go round the creek at less than 2.00 at a prac day then it might be worth racing the bike. I did and I did, but enough said this is 'The Mighty One's blog.
cheers

Hmm, CX500 giving factoy Suzuki TR500 a hurry up -
Dennis Brown worked hard to keep his Suzuki TR500 in front of TMO, rest assured he'll have to work much harder next time he turns up to race!
The last hit out the bike and I had was at Easten Creek over the Easter weekend. The end result was a third place for the meeting in Forgotton Era (P5) 500, but that doesn't really tell the story. I'll get to it soon.
cheers
