If only Gossy, in his great wisdom, hadn't caved in to the greenies but rather gone ahead and built the Wolfendene Dam - the water crisis in the SE would soon be a fading memory!

GSX-R 750?
Jaba, if you have done an advanced open water diving course then you and I have exactly the same hobbies! I used to ride a very fast GSX-R 750 with tuned race pipes and suspension kits. It even featured in Two Wheels while the previous owner had it. Bloody beautiful machine, great looker and a stunning performer. Ahhh, I miss it now Jaba!
Cheers.

Don't you worry Pyro, those things fly alright.
A bloke who looks like me, talks like me, thinks like me etc., had his up to 245 clicks one time a few years ago.
A very silly thing to do I might ad.

If it is OK with you Jaba, I'll take the Banana in the background. My wrists get too sore riding those L models. Oooooooh its fun under power but mannoman hit the picks and you is pushing on your arms to stop that feeling of a light bum.

There isn't another strip that comes in like a v ?
There is a strip and a taxi way........whats ya problem!
not that I have landed on it!
Takes more skill than I have.....and a STOL a/cJ
One end has a powerline so that cuts the length by about 200m? It only looks 200m long anyway. Trees right beside the strip tend to create gobs of shear. And what looks like a small dam in the overrun in the only direction of takeoff. Only aeroplane I have seen that would ever be able to operate out of a strip like that would be a Slepcev Storch.

ABX....flies all right, far faster than this boy is skilled for! Its just for fun and sedate fun at that. Give me a Porsche GT3.....I will wring its neck, but not a bike!
Ozbusdriver The Kat in the background is a sacred bike, my brother restored it and would gladlt give up the Mrs and kids and house but never the Katana 1100.
As for the strip... I will not disclose where or who owns it(not Sunny Coast), only one or two PPRUNER's will even know it exists, but its a one way deal, in and out over the puddle. Trees and shear I hear you say.....the more the better, with a tail wind on approach you can use that to your advantage, and its direction suits that with the local breeze. Length is about 190m so a good guess. Owners a/c gets off the ground in less than 100m anyway and stops in 100m.
Chuck.....Reckon you could get your beloved Twotter in there

Understand your brother, Jab! 'tis a long time since I slung a leg over a Katana. In its day it was THE bike! I desecrated one, turned it into a dragbike
I was young and stupid and they were cheap bikes with a killer motor. If only
Can you tell us what type uses that strip?
