    Hi all

    Almost that time again! Heading over to Phillip Island this year from Perth...Last time I did it was in 2011(03 before that) and had a good time meeting Rodders and a few others...

    Took the Nighttrain over that time - 7500K round trip...had a ball.

    Stage 3 Breakout this time, took it for a quick blat from Perth to Newman and back a few weeks ago, rode up to the West Ang turnoff (work), took a pic of the bike outside then rode back via a night drinking in the Cappy....Breakout is pretty good as a long distancer...suprised really.

    Anyway, Im leaving on the 12-13th ish (Got whole of Oct off work so no rush lol)  to get to the Island by 16th - VIP tix for the weekend.. 

    PM me if yer interested

    Cheers!
