The Horses?  I Think not.  The Superbikes at Phillip Island of course.  We had to get up meg early to catch a bus from Melburne city centre to phillp island.  And guess what... it was a glorious day and there weren't actually that many people there so we got to stand right at the start finnish line.  It ws my first bike meet.

I was a bit dissapointed at the lack of stalls selling things, and you could only buy merchandise with Australian riders on.  Anyhow the sound and speed of the bikes did not dissappoint me one bit, nd by the end of the day  ear drums were vibrating.  

The best thing about the race was the fact that the Australians kept going on abot it being the battle of the two Troys (two Aussie riders with the same name) and the peron who ended up winning was James Toesland who is English!!!   Great stuff.  We got jump over the barriers and run accross the track in time to feel the spray of champagne from James.

We could have walked the track, but I couldn't be bothered!!!
