I’m not sure coolstunts, lol. Hopefully Viking has a good result with the sponsorship and comes back for more – you’re right JED, Viking was sponsoring the series last year in a minor way via its Perth Freightliners company.

Think theyre melb. based and affiliated with a few other interstate concerns. I know theyre mostly family owned and that they got plenty of coin. Im surprised that transport companies havent taken a bigger stake in motorsport. Toll sponsors HRT but thats it. Startrack express only had stickers on the hondas because they run the wearhousing and distribution for honda MPE and cars. They er some of the most profitable companies in Aust

Hey there MickyD, I think that you will find that it is Perth Freightliners who were a minor sponsor from 2009. Steve Illiopolous is the Director.

Has anyone going to Hidden Valley got room for a flaggie?
I can probably afford 1 tank of juice (for a car, not a semi > )

I’ve worked at ASBK rounds in every state, but still haven’t been to the NT.

Contact junkmale@bikerider.com if you have room for me.

on the alcohol thang, I love it,…in fact it would be un-Australian not to love it.
It is fun and sooooooo much better than another smelly, bloody oil company who do nothing but fark up the world.
Bring on the booze and tell the cigs and oil barons to fark off!

Hi Guys,

Yeah it's looking like a really strong feild this year!

I was down at the Island yesterday on my maiden test on the Ducati Motologic Racing 1198R. We had the new exhaust fitted to her and she sounded awesome!! i've never really ridden a ducati FAST before and i can tell you, it's pretty different to riding something like i was on last year.. i was trying to describe to some of the people yesterday after my first session what it was like trying to get used to it and i think the biggest difference when trying to get a 'feel' for the bike was that coming from inline 4's, you really get used to the sounds they all make and where the 'sweet spots' are with them. on a V twin, the element of sound when listening for familiar sweet spot noises is all but lost and takes a while to get used to!

The bike did feel fast and makes good ground of of the flowwing corners. we havent changed anything yet but my times were getting good and only .7 off where jamie was on his first day so we are pretty happy thus far with that. i only had the one set on control tyres there for the day and they didnt last any more than two sessions which was a shame!

Looking forward to getting some more go fast stuff done to it and smashing it out for world supers! Scottie C was on his suzuki and that looked dialled in more or less, my team mate Jamie was very quick once again, waters, all the suzuki guys loooked good, Staring i didnt see much of on track, The KTM boys were out there and looked comfortable.

also guys im doing up my website at the moment so check in on that frequently soem lots of updates onw here we are at and multimedia clips fromt he track, training and all that sort of jazz. http://www.jordyburgess.com it's under construction at the moment as you will be able to see but it's getting there!!

peace

jordy.

Sup Penn, prep is looking ay ok thank you, would love a little more time on these new control tyres, but hey, everybody is in the same boat…. Hope to do my 3rd ride on the superbike on 15th at the island : ) . I am not stressed about times at the minute because of all the learning I must do before the opener, all I no is that I will be giving my 110% to get to front by years end. 5 nights a week training should ensure I am fit haha . So yeah I am ready for a fun season !! I have no idea about the other riders… in regards to what they are up too, I am very sure they will be working as hard to sort themselves out to ride a motorcycle. You here a lot of things about everyone else but it’s very hard to filter the truth you no. Rapt that Starro is back on board a Superbike !

yes it will. I need a few days to provide the NT package. I can say that there will be two transporters taking bikes up free of charge.

AG do we know what Konsky offers as contingency for teams travelling to far away places? Does this transport companies involvement benefit the team? You would hope so.
