Our riding season is 31st December to 30th December except during, floods, drought, cyclones, excessive heat, excessive cold, when Mr. Plod takes our licenses for a holiday, time in hospital, when the wife says NO, or days of the week with a Y in them.

The answer is simple, you bought the "Special 2003 Bee Edition" they are made by Yamaha's best mechanics on a Wednesday.

Rick PM me closer to the date and we will try to organize some accommodation and a bit of a crowd. It really is a great weekend but I will try to find us some secure and cheap accom. near the track. Keep in touch.

No matter my dear, I have been riding for 48 years and have never considered the make of bike important just the love of motorcycling. My darling wife of 31 years probably couldn't tell you the bike she pillions on (Bandit 1250) but loves the experience at 58 years old and I am 3 score +...

Thanks Bluey, We have always got a great crowd to the WSBKs at PI and we will again next year. I hope you can make it eventually. Cheers

http://www.bikesales.com.au/news/2011/2012-phillip-island-wsbk-tickets-27094 What about we meet next February at Phillip Island for the first round of the WSBK. The Superbike weekend beats the MotoGP as you can ride your bikes onto the track area and stop where ever you wish for as long as you...

Bent Police, Never!:doh2: But let us remember that for every bent Copper, there are many bent Politicians, Council Officials, TAC, RTA, EPA, Insurance Assessors, Estate Agents, Prison Officers, Parking Officers, Priests and other Quasi Preachers from suspect Religions and the list goes on but...

Jes, I understand your loyalty to your bike, I am on my 63rd and 64th bikes, Gen1 2003 Bee and 2008 Bandit. Having been superbly impressed by the Gen1 (having had a 2001 R1 from which its motor is derived) I tried every version of the Gen II and they all fell short (IMO) Beauty lies in the...

Only Honda can match (and beat) Yamaha's build quality but I doubt you will be comfortable touring on a Gen 2, knowing that like myself, we shop at high and MIGHTY. :)

No problems here in MOST of Victoria with our Police and if there is it can be blamed at Political Pressure and not the Police themselves who have to toe their Master's line if they want pay rises (which they deserve) and equipment (which they need) Governments need to butt out of interfering...

Words fail me at this time and I am filled with a terrible emptiness, there is an old but true saying that God takes only the best and sadly in my 48 years following this great sport faces flash past me, John Hartle, Joey Dunlop, Vic Hislop, David Jefferies, Daijiro Kato (Both in 2003) Mike (The...

I am still here and they don't come any more loyal to the greatest bike of all time and I should know I have had 65 of them.

Ah how I love Gen 1s, if God had wanted bikes to have EFI he wouldn't have invented Carburetors. :) :)

I have worked in 57 Deg. C in Central Australia but zero humidity and provided you drank your 7 liters of staminade Per Diem you were fine. However by 8pm at night -6 Deg and a sky so clear you could touch the stars, six months of that I saved $60,000 and loved it the only part that bothered...

What the hell is he talking about?:) By the way that is no ink blot but the view from inside my helmet after hitting a sparrow at speed. :) Best of luck Heligate :)

My Name is Chris and I am a bikeaholic! Born in Trinidad, the West Indies, halfway through the last century, I inherited the love of two wheels from my English Father and like him I started racing BSA 173cc Bantams age 11 on the USA 2nd World War Air Strips on my Island. I was sent to...

Superb bit of video there ossieboy, you should take a holiday in the hill Country of Victoria, shedloads of great roads like those but without the Policepersons, traffic and DOUBLE WHITE LINES (nice bit of editing too mate :) ) on my Gen 1 I have to put Gladwrap over my Speedo in case I fall...

Go with the bike shorts, they are real comfy and if like me you were born butt deprived, it gives the chicks something to talk about. :)

Done and I have an agreement with himself above, he looks after my friends who get hurt or I will go to confession and tie up several priests for many years. Keep us informed as to his condition, make sure he has a laptop so we can rubbish him back to health. May God be with him, his...

Hi mate from chilly and bloody wet Victoria, good to have more Aussies on board even if on the wrong Gen FZ.:)
