Photos from the Creek...

I think the No 3 in the middle photo is Mark Aitcheson - factory Yamaha R6

Nice shots there Triton! Be nice if they wer just a tad bigger though!

Looking good, and doing the "old, out of shape drunks" club proud!

If that is Aitcheson... Show that picture to Birdman... Tell him you just passed Mark going up the hill to that turn (Birdy maps that bike apparently)...

As a card carrying member of the OOOSDC I'll put up some larger shots tonight... if I'm not drunk and I remember!

Nice one Mark. These are from JPM photography?
Cheers

If you are NOT drunk and DO remember, you are probably disqualified from membership in the OOOSDC

I guess I must fit the definition even though I don't ride a TRX (any idea how hard they are to find in the US

) -- but that seems to fit most of the guys I know who ride and race old aircooled Ducati SS's as well

And if that doesn't do it, my 82 Yamaha SR500 street tracker has serious old fart street cred

John M, yep, but don't tell 'em, the disc says private use only!

Bob,

I'm about to move to HK and and seriously contemplating selling my TRX.
If you really want some cred, you could by it from me.
You have one of the very very few Rex's in the USofA.

Tried loading bigger shots but can't get into photobucket. Is the site down?

I'll host them if need be Triton, just email them to me and I'll give you the urls

Hope these are bigger. BTW, Ms T read John M's post about "wringing its neck" and I'm now banished to the shed for the rest of the day, and that couch is looking mighty comfy...

Sorry mate,

If it's any consolation, at my place the night of the creek track day dinner conversation went something like this:
Mrs M: Did you have a good time today darling?
Me: Oh yeah it was fantastic
10 yo son: Did you go very fast Dad?
Me: Nah, not really, not compared to some of the other guys (e.g. Triton)
10 yo: How fast did you go?
Dad: oh, 200 and something
Mrs M: How fast? (sound of falling cutlery)
Dad: (sheepishly) Yeah, well i could probably have gone a bit faster if the straight was longer.
10 yo: cool
Teenage daughters: sick
Mrs M: You're joking aren't you? Why on earth would you be going that fast? What if something happened? (etc, etc.)
So Triton I share your pain. We're in trouble if Mrs T and Mrs M ever meet... is it a very big shed?
