    Hi folks.

    I am thinking about doing this StayUpright course at Eastern Creek South circuit, as it does ay that the accept scooters.

    Frankly, I am not really keen on exploring the limits of the Gilera on the public road, and it seemed like a good idea.

    I wondered if any of you folk may have done this course, and, if so, had any comments to make about it.

    Hi Pete.

     

    Yeah, I used to be a track day junkie, and I still reckon that a nice race track is the best place to learn about the handling of a new, and strange machine.

    The course has the advantage of not using the big main straight at E.C. which can get a mite boring if you can only do 120 to 140 kph and only gets "interesting" if you are closing on Turn One at 220+.

     

    While it's not cheap, for a half day, it isn't that expensive either, especially with Ulyysses Club's donation.   Wink

     

    Maybe see you out there?
