Phillip Island- January 2014

[jerseygirl]

As some of you already know, I am racing Phillip Island in January on my own racebike. I was encouraged to keep a blog about it because I don't think I had any idea how much work it would be to not only race overseas, but to have your bike shipped as well. It is completely awesome though and I will be updating this blog on my trip so hope you enjoy it.

Are you going to the International Island Classic?

Sheesh, who is that boyfriend guy??! Actually, who built those "crates"? They look pretty damned trick!

[butcher bergs]

Fricken awesome

Best of luck to you and your crew!

Thanks everyone and especially Paul

Yes we are attending the Island Classic. They are doing a team challenge with the Australians, the British and an American team which has an east and west coast contingent. We were invited earlier this year, but so much had to fall into place that I didn't think it would actually happen! It has been quite a commitment though as I will continue to update.

I got Lukey Heights nailed down pretty well, so if you need any tips on that section let me know.


It works the same in real life as it does on WSBK on xbox right?

I want picks of Paul as your umbrella guy.

Inspiring! No “tip-toe through life” for you.

It was nice meeting the crew at the April 2013 TTD at NJMP. Have fun.

I sure hope so because I have been racing it on my Wii! I have the track down so let's see how that equates to real life. I am always open to pointers though

Haha yes we did. It was Bull Feeneys and we were watching that 90s cover band. Good memory! Yeah this is such an opportunity, I couldn't pass it up. Nice to bump into you again haha

Congrats To Jerseygirl! I am so jealous not only do you get to race on one of the greatest tracks in the world but you will be doing it while the rest of us wallow around in the snow. We will be cold and wishing we were riding while you are doing laps on a track I can only hope to see in person (jealous again)! Best of luck take lots of video. I also would like to know how well WSBK racing matches up to real life. Have a great trip and we wish you great results!

Thats a Trip of a Life time......Congrats

[Trouble]

Totally jealous! What an opportunity!

Paul, can surf at the Pinnacles, saw lots of surfers and really nice waves.

Jersey girl, they gave me huge issues with my Arai Corsair V helmet because it didn't have an Australian approved DOT sticker in the back. So I'd look into it. I ended up borrowing a helmet from someone because of it. I'm sure none of our helmets in the US has the Aussie sticker.

[jerseygirl]

Thanks Kumpy for the heads up. We are being invited over by the Australians so they are understanding that the gear and bikes we are bringing will pass tech here in the states. I am excited to read your write up about P.I.!

[Mgiossi]

just got the latest issue of road racer and look what i came across.
