Avon Park (Shaky) report; Saturday 14th June 2009
Forecast rain~blistering heat instead.
The tripples club were the main event but was also attended by several other assorted bikes and riders.
Fatty z1Rbuckle put in a best personal time of 10.2 seconds twice and ten point three's throughout the rest of the day.
He managed to see off the advances of a GSXR750, Hyabusa, GSXR1400 nitrous, and a couple of tripples to record the fastest time for a bike for the day (possibly)
Pretty fair for a naturally aspirated 1327 running pump petrol.
Only two tenths out of the nines so if he'll just stop doing the life saver look before pulling away he should get there soonish!!
Here she is in action
Tony Perry and his partner / wife rode all throughout the day returning time after time on their Z's and entertaining the crowds with their resilience and wheelies.
Tony didnt seem to manage one launch without a wheelie but not really surprising on a more or less standard chassis but with 1399cc and fat carbs.
As mentioned; the tripples club had around twelve / fifteen bikes out and heres a couple of them.
Sorry dont know names but you may recognise yourselves.
Heres FattyZ1R vs one of the tripples.
This is Fatty and Rick Brett going at it like a couple with something to prove.
Fatty was sideways off the line for the first twenty yards and Bretty missed a gear.
Not saying who won.
No apologies for the short shaky, out of focus clips.
Its a sh!t job.
NB. Trippples owners; Rick has a copy of these and other pairings for the day on his laptop.
