MOTOGP » Ducati launches title defender

Ace27;with all the power sliding you should try Speedway although the tracks are few and far between these days and the moneys not around,,,,do you know if the old Nepean flat track is still there, I think it was owned by the Northern Disricts Club it had a practice speedway track in the middle 35 years ago???

Back then I did'nt know much about it, at the time I was in regional QLD their was a speedway I used to go to but there was no bike racing there. my first taste of racing was mud drag racing, I went to watch, next thing I know this official has me racing?
It was a fish taily experiance? Your front tyre would get stuck in one rutt and the back would get stuck in a different rutt and she would bend and flex and crabwalk a bit before she could come together, it was a great learning curve riding a bike when the wheels were'nt in a straight line. The bike being pulled in 2 differnt directions and feeling the frame flexing outta shape. Yep those were fun days.

JH, Funny you should mention that, yes there was a point where it.....lets say changed. But I lived through it, worse for ware, suffice it to say proffesional racing with spinal injuries is not too smart when a wrong crash could effect my walking abillities so now its for a laugh, a hobby thing to always improve, best I can be without binning it for the win type stuff. But Im still riding right or wrong, I dont think a could live without motorbikes. Even though my injuries were work related and nothing to do with bikes I still water it down when it comes time to explain to the missus the last crash did'nt hurt anything and I didnt know there was a vollyball sized bruise on my side????
