Ptero.. Getting ready for PI? Should be awesome. What a race this year.

Is this your first set of replacement plugs?

I'm leaving for the Island on Thursday.
I have no plan, other than a brew at Mirboo North on the way.

Have a safe trip Ptero and enjoy. PI looks stunning on TV coverage, perhaps one of the most beautiful tracks on the Motogp circuit. Lots of photos please.

Be safe and I look forward to your pics.

Yes Ferret, they looked OK but I changed them anyway.

Am posting from Cooma. Despite yesterday's forecast it rained like blazes for the first three hours of a six hour ride. The Frog Togs I bought in Atlanta, GA worked well. Once off the coast and up on the Monaro high plains the weather fined up. A good feed, a cold beer and a warm bed is in order.

Cheers, and thanks everyone for your good wishes.

Have a great trip, mate. Keep remembering the month of riding this time last year and thinking I should be doing it again!
