    Hi All,

    Awesome event at an awesome location. The bike ran great and was strong enough to get me into fourth place. Woooot!!

    Did a best time of 2:19. More track time and I'll bring that down to maybe 2:00. It was my first time on a BIG track (I have only had 6 races on a go kart track before this event) so I had a lot to learn. Made me realise just how "brave" Casey and others are. Managed to top speed the bike on Thursday in practice @ 190km/h.

    Hey fnq_fzr

    How cool is that, racing, meeting Giacomo Agostini and placing 4th, does it get any better. The photos are great also, your bike looks great. :Thumbs_up:
    Many, many years ago I was residing in Monte-Carlo and travelled with friends to Italy on our Jap bikes to a place called Ospidaletti, not sure on the spelling, was a long time ago. We went to watch the great Agostini race the MV Agusta and were not disappointed as he won convincingly on the day. Sadly  :'( we didn't get near him to get an autograph, a great event.
    Thanks a million for sharing your journey with us!
