Sunday, another track day at Collie. Got there Saturday arvo and camped the night with a mate from York.
Few beers and a glass of wine, probably could have done without the wine!
Warmish day, 32, but not stinking hot like the last 2 day event I cancelled out of.
The Motodd ran faultless, bouncing off the rev limiter. Once again the oldest and most interesting bike there.
Devils Undies gathering at the Northcliffe pub next weekend, Another good run for the Motodd.

Good stuff, Rob. Giving it a hiding on the track ... it would have loved it!

I was probably quicker this time than the last event. Don't have times so can't compare but I felt quicker. The Dunlop roadsmart4 tyres are fantastic for a sport touring tyre. Not once did they give me an arse clenching moment.
The motodd is running and handling so bloody well, feels really balance in the corners. Ran off track twice in some esses, one a missed gear and the other I over cooked it. The motodd held its head high against 2 quick slick shod modern bikes, one pissed off in the distant but the other, KTM Duke I stayed on his tail catching under brakes and corner entry but he would pull away out of the corner and down the straights.
Probably running 3rd fastest in a couple of sessions when I was focused. Top day out with a couple of good mates.

Another 2 days on track last weekend.
Managed 325 kays this time around. The weather was perfect.
I felt good on the weekend but it took alot out of me not being on a bike for 2 months recuperating from 3 broken ribs. Probably wasn't a good idea as this week I've been really sore again not being able to do anything and back on opiates to sleep.
Once again the Motodd was faultless only having to adjust the chain Sunday morning.
Apart from last week's pain it was another fantastic weekend of thrashing a Laverda like they were meant to be.
The Laveda looks so out of place amongst all the current rocket ships lined up in the pits. It's like so last century!!
Also need to get me a set of paddock stands and tyre warmers to look the part.

Good mental health is important for physical healing, and it sounds like you’re on the mend

Good stuff, Rob. Sounds like you got plenty of riding in - tyres hold up? And how's the gearing for the track?
