Just got back from Phillip Island after watching the Island Classic. Damn it was hot, 35c. Hovered around the pits for awhile until I started to melt. Ended up spending the afternoon at “siberia” in a cool sea breeze. Much cooler. An excellent days racing. Posted some photo’s on picasa. Some bikes you have seen before, but what hell, I like ‘em.

The temperature sensor strips on the Irving Vincent cylinder heads are a good idea.

There are some seriously talented riders there. Former Moto GP rider, Formers (Australian) Superbike champions, former TT riders all lead to fantastic racing. Any lap under 1:40:00 is seriously quick. I tend to aim for 2:00:00 when doing a track day :)
