If you want to race then the place to live is Mackay

They have full ANDRA sanction and put alot of money back

into the track...........Townsville's strip is Black listed and has

no ANDRA santion or santioning from any one else eg Cams

so you run the risk of not haveing any cover when you race.

That is part of the reason our ANDRA lic and race entry's

cost so much......and the track it self cant hold a stock

Busa from spining up through 3 gears, ask Grant he's bin there

when I was all out of shape going down there track. My bike

looks like it should have bin in a Drift Race.......

If your not going to get into it then the track may be ok. I am normally towing away some where so you can allways throw your bike in my trailer if you want to go to Mackay or Brisy
But it's a great place to live, the Table lands have some
f*&^ing great roads to ride. We used to go up there and do a big loop around 1100k'sm and get back just arfter sunset
had a shit load of fun...............

Na to many Army boys up here, hey Grant. So it's good for the girls.....there are a few back packer's that may want to have a shot at. Just come up and have a look and see if it
suits you....give Grant and me a shout if you do

Well im afraid i cant speak to highly of fuggen townsville,although i dont live there.
I stopped there one night on my way to up to cairns and managed to get a puncture and my wallet stolen out of my tank bag in a pub all within a couple of hours.
When i reported it to the police station,the local cop tells me its not unusual and that the theft rate per capita is one of the highest in australia.To me it seems like its the western suburbs of FNQ.
To townsville

Is normally how the tube sits in the tyre
Its not the phantom anymore,its the urban assault legend!
