What's on this weekend?

[TT]

I was supposed to be on my way to Castella by now, but as usual, work got in the way. 

I reckon I can stilll get Sunday/Monday off, does anyone know of any sort of motorsport event within say 600k of the Barossa S.A. that's happening this Sunday?

Western to mid Victoria is about as far East as I could get I reckon, but I'll consider anything.

As a spectator Tony you have should have Gilman SA speedway 27th or Mildura Olympic park speedway Vic Sunday 28th (Day meet?)

[TT]

Thanks fellas. I probably won't get away until late tomorrow or very early Sunday morning.
Mildura speedway might be worth a look.  I haven't been to a speedway event for years.

[Hoony]

take some pics for me Tony.

[TT]

Sounds like a plan. 
Is Des Woody still at Sunset Cycles?
I'll give him a buzz in the morning and see what the go is.

Yes Hoony, I'll take photos. Gotta make the trip tax deductible somehow. 

[TT]

Well........... I got there just in time to be too late..............   
Long story, but I wa saying goodbye to the family when my young fella asked, "What's that puddle, Dad?"

Ah, crap. The old DR was leaking fuel. From the coupling that links the 2 tanks. Got it sorted and was on the way by about 11.00.
I underestimated how much rain they had over there as well and it so muddy in places that I had to go off the track to get through.
End result was that I got to Mildura at about 4.30pm.   

Still, it was nice to spend a couple of days on a bike.

Thats why its a DR big ( Doctor BIG) you gotta do your own biit of surgery now and then...

[Tex]

Great shot Tony. You would have encountered some very wet weather if you'd come all the way to Castella.

"What's that puddle, Dad?"

Tony,
I am pleased it was the bike… you're too young to be leaking just yet!! 

[suzuki27]

Great to see a Dr Big again. I got to an orange version many years ago at a Suzuki model launch at Oran Park. Barry Sheene was there that day and threw a leg over the Doctor.
Anyone going to the Leigh Adams testimonial dinner/ Speedway in Mildura early January?

[GMC]

So how much do they charge you to drive on those South Aust. tollways these days.
 

It would have been a horrible trip riding through Vic. last weekend, unless you were riding a jet ski
