DAY 3 & 4 - World Superbike
Saturday morning arrived and I was pumped and looking forward to getting out to the track. Not only were the WSBK boys in town but it coincides with the opening round of the Australian Superbike championship with none other than 3 time WSBK rider Troy Bayliss competing in this years championship at 48 years old. It was only a quick 15 minute ride out to the track.

We even managed on the sunday to do the pit walk where we actually got to meet some of the top riders. An excellent score thanks Doug. Even wandering around in the back of the pits you got to see some fantastic motorcycling exotica.

Two fantastics days of racing with World Supebikes and Supersport, Australian Superbikes and Supersport. Good times for all with excellent racing, even though Geoff slept through an exciting World Supersport Race. I also love the fact that you can ride your bike around the outside of the track, which you can't do at Motogp it makes moving to different parts of the track to watch the racing a lot easier and quicker.

Looks like a lot of fun, although the girls don't look overly enthused...
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are just worried about losing their jobs, with what formula 1 has done to them. Turned these poor girls out on the streets jobless and destitute.....
DeleteNot Motogp and WSBK. Yay for motorcycling the last bastion of man.
Nice. About time those WSB guys came back here for a round - watched them about 3 times at Manfield, great stuff!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff isn't it!!
Deletei was very tired......tyred...
ReplyDeleteThe weather looked much better than moto-gp. I used to follow SBK more than moto-gp until it left free to air tv then there was zero coverage for while and later a highlight show which was too brief. No coverage of it over here at all.
