Both bikes are ex-race bikes supplied to the Trinder brothers by Paul Feeney.
One is a ‘07 model and one is a ‘08 model.

Race bike has had some good bits added which he paid for, he subsequently got serious about race bike set up and as it stands has the following:

• GMD computrak chassis setup and initial suspension setup by Nigel Pitsch
• Suter Slipper Clutch
• Sachs racing rear shock as used in the Tamburini (According to my suspension man in NZ Kerry Dukic, this is MotoGP technology, it is that good)
• Raceglass fairing
• Spare wheels with new Pirelli SC1 racing slicks
• Front and rear stands
• Full Titanium race system for MV (Arrow)
• Power Commander and Dyno tune
• Range of sprockets for final drive gearing
• Spare clutch and brake levers.

All the original street bodywork and exhaust system to allow the machine to be put back on the street. (This machine is currently registered)

Phil Tainton’s dyno had the race bike showing 194 HP at the rear wheel, when the equivalent Suzuki GSXR1000 superbikes were reading 205 -210HP. Nigel Pitsch’ dyno showed a lower figure for both bikes.

Engineers assisting Woodley with machine setup and service:

• Greg Mcdonald (GMD engineering, Sydney)
• Nigel Pitsch (Pitstop motorcycles, Cessnock)
• Brad Black (Brad the Bike boy, Oakleigh).
• Kerry Dukic, NZ, suspension setup by reading the tyres.

John is contactable via his email address johnw@farmforestry.com.au and has indicated he is chasing around $25000.00 for both bikes.

Australian Garry McCoy won’t return to the MotoGP paddock, deciding to end his relationship with the FB Corse team.

McCoy believes FB will be unable to make its MotoGP debut this season with its three-cylinder machine, and the Aussie has decided to move on — although he doesn’t have another gig to fall back on.

“After spending the last four months training at top level, today I am at my best mentally and physically to race,” said McCoy.

“My goal is to come back to the world championship. I thought FB Corse was ready to take the step but they haven’t accomplished what they have had to at this point in time. Hopefully soon, I will be able to update you with more news.”

Earlier in the year, McCoy was dumped as Triumph’s factory world supersport rider just before the start of the season.

McCoy took part in a special ‘timing test’ on the FB01 three-cylinder machine at Valencia in March, after which the team was told it must complete a full race-distance simulation before it can enter its three-cylinder motorcycle in a grand prix. As yet, that hasn’t occurred.

Casey Stoner leading Valentino Rossi at Phillip Island

The countdown is on for this year’s IVECO Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island from October 15-17, and for a third successive year the support class line-up will remain the same: superbike, supersport and historics.

In making the announcement, Australian Grand Prix Corporation Chief Executive Officer Drew Ward said that customer feedback continues to indicate that this support program is immensely popular with patrons.

“The historics are always a strong crowd pleaser,” said Ward. “Together with the Superbikes and supersport, they complete a fantastic line-up of events.”

The superbikes will again race on all three days of the event, including Sunday prior to the main MotoGP event where Australia’s Casey Stoner will be chasing a fourth successive victory on home soil.
