Brooweena 2010

Its getting close now and I still haven't decided what bikes to bring apart from the Team TY250A bike.
Is anyone interested in going for some sort of record with numbers of a particular bike? Last year we tried for Kawasakis and did quite well having 7 KTs there but what about this year? Any ideas?

What about a "as many brands as possible approach" Dave?
Whatever make sure the Majesty is there in person ....and hows the Bully coming along?

Big thanks to the organisers, helpers and scorers of this years great event - what a great course, especially section 7s hill climb.
See ya next year.

Thanks for the kind words. I know Jeff has put a huge amount of his time into setting the Trial up. Quite a number of others also assisted to make the days what they were. Even though I did not ride, I watched everyone have a great time. Some sections too tight, some to easy, one bloody big hill climb but lots and lots of smiles. You will never please everyone but hell we come close.

I thought the standard of riding was very good. Team Maryborough turned in some great rides with Jordan making me a little jealous with how he has picked it up so quick. Ben turned in another stylish ride. Team Gladstone continues to show us some great tricks. Even my impossible (I set this for Frank) corner on section 5 saw a lot of the Gladstone Montessa's clean it. Very impressive. Also one fellow that will not say anything about how he went is David, he turned in a very impressive tidy ride on his TY250A He got through that corner clean as well.

On the way home I thought about asking riders what we could improve next year. So in anticipation of some positive input I am asking everyone to give us some feedback for next year. I will not promise that we can use all sugestions but it would be good to hear from you all.

Also Reinald, sorry for the vacant stare as I just could not put your face to a name. But when you got on your bike I knew straight away. Sorry about that.

.... I thought about asking riders what we could improve next year....

I thought it was a great event. For me personally most of the sections were quite challenging, but at the same time seemed safe and so there was nothing on the white arrow lines that I wasn’t game to at least try. I understand that you’ll never please everyone, but in my opinion you’ve pretty much got it as good as I’ve seen. I don’t think I’d ever be unhappy with an event of that standard.
Now, back to your original question of what might be improved ........... My talent and ability could do with more improvement.

Yet more riders and their rides

Great photos Dave. It was great to see all of you again. That SWM is one tidy machine. Anyone who knows me can attest to my undying devotion to all things Suzuki but that SWM had me more than a little intrigued. I guess it's because you don't see them often and I have never seen one in the flesh before. If I sold my RM370 I could add something like that to my stable. Mmm, a Fantic sounds nice......
