are you guys shiting me? every day in VIC is a blitz.

Not much use having a state forest you cant ride in though.

Id say the plan in australia is to ban motorbikes altogether, along with all the jobs that go with it.

AGRO!

I got to the stage where I was riding fast around corners all the time{not on straights} then finally got busted on my favourite section of corners by a mobile car radar.Riding my bike means the world to me so losing my license was not option.I had to change my attitude to riding bikes on the street so I decided to get back into track days and riding school event's.It has been the best move I have ever made.Not only has it made me a lot more confident in my riding abilities,but I ride a lot slower on the roads now and have change the people who I ride with so I don't get up in the ego bullshit about keeping up with the fastest guy.Quite often I asked the fast street guys to come along to do track days to get the speed thing out of their system and have fun but all to often they reply "I don't want to crash my pretty bike" or "it cost to much" just after spending a couple of grand on an exhaust and sticky tyres[track DOT tyres]etc,etc knowing full way that if they do a trackday they will have to start in the slower groups to adapt to different skills that track riding requires.It's a pity because they have no idea how much fun they are missing out on and instead of riding fast around the corner on the wrong side of the centre line with knee down they will learn to ride around the corner at a good smooth pace safely in their lane with knees to tank.So if you have a problem with the throttle on the streets try the track.Works for me.Great piece of reading material,just google "the pace" by Nick Ienatch.Cheers.

Its funny how many dudes think they will crash when doing a track day ? But as I tell them you don't have to go flat out you just ride at a pace where you feel comfortable.

its probably more to do with the fact they dont have insurance on the track.
