Club race day

[Aussieflyer]

Today was round 1 of the 2014 season for the Hartwell Motorcycle Club held at the Broadford State Motorcycle Complex in Victoria AU. My friend Roachy has a son (Col) competing on his Aprilia RSV4 so the three of us (Roachy, Mick, and I) took a ride out to the track to watch some good old fashioned club racing.

Broadford is situated about 80 km north of Melbourne in the rolling hills that form part of the Great Dividing Range - a mountain range the runs down the east coast of Australia. The motorcycle complex has a mid length road circuit plus MX and enduro tracks. It's an excellent facility for club racing and track/ride days.
