I don't know if you've noticed it or not, but the price of bananas seems to have gone through the roof in the last month or so. Being an avid banana eater, this is somewhat annoying. First they went up to $3.49 a kilo, then $3.99, then $4:39, and, … [Read more]
Summer jackets.
Well, with the unseasonal heat of the last few weeks it's been time to put the winter riding gear away and drag out the ventilated jacket. I've had a mixed run with summer riding gear, selling my DriRider Climate Control jacket early last summer when … [Read more]
This too, shall pass.
On a regular basis I count myself exceedingly lucky that we decided to move from the ACT back to Wollongong. Apart from the very close proximity of my daughter and BSILW and my 3 wonderful grandsons, it has allowed me to be in the position to enjoy … [Read more]
The Six Hour – the last.
Some interesting sidelights from the race, too. Many teams using the '09 R1 were experiencing overheating problems compared to those using the '08 model. The Six Hour Team's bike did a head gasket on Friday and they had to revert to an '08 model for … [Read more]

Hot Times at the Park.
Today was mercifully less torrid that Friday, but it was still unpleasant. A 90 minute session for the Six Hour riders in the morning and a chance for a few teams to regroup a bit. The Mick Cole Motorcycles team suffered a late setback last night … [Read more]
Oran Park is melting in the dark (with apologies to Jim Webb and Richard Harris)
Free Practice day for the Belray Six Hour was as punishing a day as I can ever remember at the track. The only one that would even come close was the King of the Weir meeting at Hume Weir in 1977. Hume Weir circuit was constructed on the floor of a … [Read more]
Just another brick in the wall..
Most of us will remember with some degree of humour, the absurd situation when Valentino Rossi spat the dummy with Michelin and signed with Bridgestone mid-season in 2008. To ensure that his team-mate, Jorge Lorenzo, did not get any access to his pit … [Read more]
