Ozzie & Wolfman go to the Superbikes!

[Wolfman]

Well, we made it...yep, Ozzieboy & myself managed to get back in one piece from our Phillip Island World Superbikes weekend tour!

It all started on Friday morning, both of us making to the meeting point at Crafers BP servo at 5.15am!!!! Faaaaark! We managed to leave at 5.24am, on our trek through straight road land (SA outback!), to our pot of gold at the end of a very dry rainbow....the Great Ocean Road! 150km's of some of the nicest "twisties" about the joint!, then ultimately to Phillip Island, via the Ferry at Queenscliffe, followed by the ride i hate the most, from San Remo to Phillip Island...But we got there...with me tetoring on mental & physical exhaustion...no sleep at all on Thursday night before ride!!!

Highlight of the ride over...what else, The GOR....Let's just say Mikey and Me had some fun...how much fun is between us, but you could say it was very close to "Playboys under the covers" fun!!!!

Friday night, we decided to ride into Cowes to have a look around...then we discover that there is a defect station on the main road, leading to Cowes....just up the road from where we were staying...so we retreated to the cabin....knowing that our fender eliminators alone would of caused us a distateful feeling in our mouths, to say the least!

Was probably a good thing...we were both seriously tired!

Then Saturday...We went to the bikes...Woop! Woop!

I will shut up for now, and let the pictures do the talking... for now!

(Mikey will be the one with all the video...Mr Go Pro!)

Our bikes....as you can see, we are not exactly overloaded with gear!

Great pics guys, and yes, I did like the Fiat replica.

Glad you guys had a great time - we've gotta go next year - really hard watching it on Fox and not being there.

re: "Ozzie" & "The Wolfman" go to the Superbikes....

And here it is...The worlds carpiest home video...lol.

As the Go Pro has no zoom or anything else really, I had to digitally zoom the video. The results are horrendous, but you can get somewhat of an idea of the trip.:thumbup:
