Greeves - A mighty handsome brace of Greeve Giffons  

Tuning Day/Greeves Appreciation Day March 5th 2007!  Narrogin

International Staff - I'll give you 'bloody Aussies a lesson' - yer right Paul!

CR125 - An undercover agent for MA or the taxation department (note the camera)

TS100/MR50 - A radical monoque if I've ever seen one

Feel the serenity!  What a picture perfect day, with the forecast threatening to be hot it was a relief for the temperature to hit a max of about 30C.  With a moderate turnout of 17 riders, the obligatory bike inspection and riders meeting was over quickly not before our international guest, all the way from England, Paul Barker (yep my older brother) was given a warm round of applause.  He declined to make a speech but threatened to give you 'bloody Aussies a lesson'!

As this was tuning day a steady stream of bikes left the pits to do as many laps as their bikes and bodies could take.  The track was perfect after a good wetting from the water tank and a well deserved grading.  The dust kept down until midday when lunch was declared and the track re-watered.  'Tuning' commenced after lunch until about 3pm when the dust reared its ugly head.  Tuning was called off for an hour.

At about 4pm Gary and Master Dillon had a spirited 'Tuning' dual on their XL350's.  A great tussle to watch.  It was a bloody great day, with two new members 'Tunning', it felt good to blow the cobwebs out and inhale some 2 stroke again.  Only 19 sleeps to Collie!
