Hey was that the Wednesday after cup day? Only three days after we did Superbike school - I was like the ONLY VFR there that day!

You must be the only Aussie VFR I've seen with the custom front-end and USD forks. Are they from the SP2?

Yep, Wed after the cup. Yep, SP2.

Mine is the only Aussie VTEC I know of with a front end swap since zRoYz sold his VTECR1. That set up has since gone onto Parker's 750, and looks (and by all reports goes) brilliant.

Also ABOz and Darren (don't think he is on here) both have SP1 or 2 franken Klingons...

Nice shot, would love to ride that track.

Yep, I've only ridden on 4 different tracks (Phillip Island, Eastern Creek, Oran Park and Wakefield), but this one is by far the best of them.

Shoot Standing it up almost always results in riding right off the road. Standing it up and hard on the brakes always makes the bike go strait. I wonder what would have happened if you just picked the cleanest line you could see and just leaned it over? You say it would have low sided but maybe you would have made it?

I tried that once in a decreasing radius corner that I went into a bit hot. Centerstand hit the road, lifted the rear wheel off the deck and it was all over. Luckily it was a slow speed corner and I just rolled a couple of times, stood up and surveyed the damage (the bike, not me).
