Once a year in Aus, we have one of the greatest races in the world. The Mt Panorama Bathurst 1000. And it's on in around 14 hours! No it's not bikes I'm sorry, the bikes used to race there, it was a hair raising ride that's for certain. Now it's reserved for cars only, Australian touring cars...

G'day guys & girls, I'm Mark & I'm an addict! Not only addicted to the mighty XS, but I've become quite addicted to these forums. The bike I ride while I'm working I guess! I've been over at 650rider for quite a while, and enjoyed my almost daily fix there. Not sure what's happening there at...
