Title: World Superbikes Phillip Island
Post by: Doc_Rossi46 on Tuesday, 20 February 2018, 08:46 AM
How many of you Aussies are heading out Phillip Island way this weekend? I see there are a few forum member Melburnians. You can consider me as well and truly jealous that I won't be there. But I will be watching the races as always. but probably not live as my advancing years seem to have me having naps almost every hour. Though my diabetes could have something to do with that :grin: And is anyone else going to be watching?

Unfortunately, I couldn't use this & just gave it away to a customer of mine.
3 day pass & pit entry on both days ☹️
At least it's going to be used now.
Hope to watch some of it though.

That was the plan Doc.
The guy I gave it to, was planning to go with others, but that fell through, so he wasn't going.
So I offered him my pass, and he said, bugger it, I will take it and is riding down from Sydney by himself and leaving tomorrow, so he can take the scenic route & make the most of the ride & the whole 3 days at the track.
He really appreciated it, which makes it all worth while.
Wish I was going with him now   :smile2::doh:

If you get any pit passes for moto go in Valencia at the end of the year a d you would like to give them away me and Emma would make great use of them  :boogie:

Your right they changed the max revs but I think it's on all bikes to a % above the max revs of the road bike .
It means that the Kawasaki is hit the most and Ducati can't actually reach there rev limit .
Hopefully still good close racing.
