Default SPOILER ALERT - Australian Superbike, Philip Island

You overseas guys would not have seen the support races at the island.

Our Aussie superbike guys race pretty much SuperStock type bikes ( although they were only a second off the WSBK guys).

For the firts time ever a BMW was entered. It has only had the BMW race ECU, pipe and the usual suspension tweaks ( you have to use standard components), and did a clean sweep winning both races from very well established Aussie factory teams.

Not bad? Certainly had the padddock buzzing. It just shows how good these are in Superstock trim, the WSBK bikes are a whole different thing, virtually MotoGP spec's.

By the way there were two Aussie wildcards and Waters on the suzuki qualified into superpole 2. The Kawaskai was not so good I think he ran last.

Thanx for posting the link, but damn, after reading the "white" font on the "black" background it felt like I just took a shot of some psychedelic 70's drug. Floating lines and shyte WTF.....anyone else had that effect?
