i've raced xr6's (BA & BF) and lost both times but not by much - but thats off the line not top speed

depends on the driver too but racing in a straight line doesnt require a whole lot of brains lol 'specially an auto

was that the obrien rd cruise i had my bike on? i remember coming around a corner and my rear tyre hit a honkeynut and it lost traction/slipped for a sec, crapped myself because its the first time that had happened! lol

ill repair the bike, it looks mostly cosmetic..

i've prived up some stuff

fairings - $3-400 from ebay or 6-700 from sites or over $1200 from yamaha
indicators - $50
bar ends - $30ish
new lever - $50ish
left rearset with brake cylinder - ?? the ones i have are discontinued so ill need to buy a new pair so probably $400ish then 1-200 for brake cyl

thats sort of all, the exhaust is scratched but ill leave it as it is.. theres also a weird ticking sound coming from the bottom of the engine/inside the exhaust which isn't good

The XR6 has more torque which makes it faster - only on the longest straight would the lancer win...due to the top speed being limited on the ford

[Dire]

I never said the lancer would win! Lol.

And I estimate the distance between the top speeds is about 10-15kmph, so yes you'd need a long road

[Massaen]

Not in my evo! Its a very short road actually!!!

[Dire]

I think the only race they'd beat you in is range

Hey guys did the movie cruise happen? How was the monthly Sunday one? No one has mentioned anything about it! Except for Jake's windscreen I missed it because I slept in through my alarm clock

EDIT: I need more tag cards! Who has any they can spare?

[Dire]

The cruise was good, we did the tunnel then o'brien then made our way to zigzags and after that I think most people went home, though there was talk of going back through the tunnel?
There was 5 cars, 6 people (Dan's gf I think?).

I actually got left behind at the top of the zigzags after getting stuck behind 2 motorbikes at the top... I only caught up to David at the Roe highway lights, and went left to go home.


I don't know what happened with the movie night, I was working

[Graham]

Aaron I've got some spotted cards, give me a buzz and come round and pick some up

Also guys I sold my car today she will be missed

I'll still come on cruises every now and then probably on the bike when my wrist is healed

[Mitch]

what are you replacing the lancer with mate

[Leez]

Noooooooooo Graham, you were like the pioneer of WA's CCJ club

[Graham]

nothing yet - my wrist is still broken so i can't really get another car, the next one i want to be a manual so i'll have to wait until i can use both arms properly

I'm always on the bike anyway so i dont really need a car yet, just for rainy days and if im going out with mates or stuff like that

Aha, funny story about that, I kinda forgot how to get home and ended up taking a rather scenic drive through parts of Perth I never knew existed and couldn't find again even if I wanted to! I realised my mistake when I was at the lights with the camera and I saw Jake going left, needless to say I never made it back to the tunnel and I took a long time to get home!

Graham, congrats on the sale, I know you've been trying for a while. Make sure you still come for a cruise on your bike or in whatever car you get next. I'm a bit sad that I'll never see that "slow down" warning though, I was hoping it might come back at the next track day

[Dire]

I waved right? I think I waved
Pretty sure you shouldn't have gone left like me though..?
I caught up to a silver sportback about 3 kms later and it took me 5 minutes of following it to realize it wasn't Dan


And congrats Graham, also; you suck.


I dumped the front of my car on a curb exiting a driveway tonight... Sigh...

[Leez]

Wait, who's Dan?

[Dire]

I'm not sure what he likes to be called actually
Its Brendan, the guy with the silver VRX sportback. Username 'Rangdan'...
