A mate of mine does it somewhere in South Melbourne but he has his own lil 49cc water-cooled weapon. I'm going to watch tonight so I'll post up some more info tomorrow.
You reckon they'd let me take my GIXXER1000 on the track?

Yeah, im keen to get one of the 110cc dirt bikes, want one thats got proper gears and a clutch etc so i can practise monos and stuff without fear of damaging the 1. budget not stretching that just yet. but by the looks of it for about $500 i could probably get something. maybe thats were my next oncall allowance goes to..

I like these.. http://www.grcmoto.com/gb/index.html Blata also makes some nice ones. They are better quality than those cheap ones you get for a couple hundred bucks
