HELP
I'm coming down to Sydney in early March on my Fireblade. I plan to go to MCA at Auburn & buy a set of Pirelli Diablo Corsa's that they have on special for $350 a set. My problem is I need a loan of a set of paddock stands so I can remove wheels.I will be staying in the Parramatta area, so if there is anybody out there who would let me use their stands for a couple of hours, either at their place or at my folks, I'd really appreciate it
cheers Tom

Hi Tom. Just wondering, are you going down to Sydney just to get the tyres fitted? Because, freight to Hat head would'nt be as dear as your petrol bill down and back I would'nt think. Just a thought mate.

Freight is $8.00 from memory anywhere in Australia.
I got two sets of Corsa's last year and they charged me $8.00 to Perth.

No wukers Tom. Done levels 1 and 2 myself, and thoroughly enjoyed it . Also from Gloucester you could go out through Dungog, East Gresford, Singleton, Bulga and down the Putty Rd to Sydney . Thats the way we go if we're headed that way. Have fun Mate.

Have you checked the prices from the guys at the school. Have bought a few tyres off them and always seem to look after you. I am in Campbelltown area, but will be away first week in march. Going to the Superbikes and taking 4 or 5 days to come home through the Snowies.

Re: HELP

G,day Jeff, sorry didn't see your reply until today.
No I didn't check their prices but I will when I'm down there
In the mean time Rock Motorcycles, at Port Macquarie, are going to fit a new Bridgestone BT015( about $320 fitted) on the rear when they service my bike on Friday The front looks ok for a few more Ks These are what it had on it when I bought it last November & were the original tires.Its a 2006 first registered in May 2007 & the bloke who owned it had only done 2200 ks I've done another 3000ks & quite like the 015s These will get me thru superbike school & hopefully another few thousand ks
I still plan to buy the Pirelli's while I,m down in Sydney & store them at my folk's place til later in the year.
have fun at the supers & enjoy the ride
Cheers Tom
