That result plus the points from the 4 hour it looks like Ive come 3rd retro for the series. Now that was a suprise!!!! Gotta go to Sydney for the offical presentation in a couple of weeks.
If I ever get Eastern cr sorted & learn how to ride this 750, LOOK OUT!!! :banana

Well done Steve, nice work.

You've taken a leaf out of my book - just keep turning up and finishing!

Any more clues as to how you can feel more at home on the 750??

Mate I still havent got any closer to getting the best out of the 750. Im just so use to have the torque of the FZR. & I doubt with the little racing I do, I'll ever get use to it. All I do know is this 750 is way better than me. Its a riders bike, & performs better the faster you go. I just cant get my head to except that fact. The " old dog new tricks" syndrome I think.
I know I was much more at home on the FZR.

Steve,

Who are you teaming up with for the 1 hour??

And, ah well, as long as you are having fun on the 750 and picking up bits of tin who cares what the lap times are??

Yeah true enough J.
Im not doing the one hour, the race money tree has died.
I cant afford it. I would love to have a go though.

Congratulations on the results for St George series Steve.
I might have to give them a go next year.
You didn't blow your zip on your new leathers did you?
I'm riding with Rob Cole in the 1 hour, should be fun riding his 1100.

Teaming up for a 1hr? We run a 4 hour to end the season and the winners always stop at the 1 hour mark to switch riders and fuel up, those that stop more lose too much time to win. During ice racing season we have guys that ironman the six hours solo, that would hurt.

Would've liked to Steve but the race money tree in this yard is pretty straggly too. I'm on a track day tomorrow as prep for the 6-hr, which is where the last of my race cash is going. I also need to think about the Barry Sheene next year!
