Them's some goolies... Gotta say, was impressed by the coppers coming out of the island. They weren't too bothered by people being 'a little generous' with their speed. They were just frowning on stoopid riding.
BTW, was following a Z1000 from S Gippsland to the track (left him at Inverloch) - was overtaking a car on a nice straight stretch of road and saw him shift back a couple of gears. I was entertained as the rear squirmed under power and though "hey, he's really going to take off". I rolled on the throttle in 6th to overtake as well but the bloke kept on accelerating. He got about 10m away from me before the 'busa wound up... I think he got the message at the double ton when he still had a busa right behind him...
I had one of those "I love my bike" moments...
