    Hey Boss. Yes, I'm coming to compete. I'm bringing a ZXR250A for the VJMC Rally next week and I'll race that at Gunnedah. @Murdo suggested I bring my drag bike too, but that might not work out depending on other things going on at the moment. You should come along and have a crack. Bit of fun with the boys.

    Thanks Chief. At least the power loss from the heat will be uniform across all our bikes!

    I'll try and coordinate a Brissy trip for next time and we can have a nice little road trip. I'm still waiting for the TDRA to post future race dates, so I can plan around them. Question: Will the work Van be up to it?

    I can make the August and October meetings, but I may not be able to do the May meet. Any of these suit you @kiffsta ?
