20-year-old Bryan Staring is the newest addition to the 2008 Yamaha Racing team that has dominated road racing in Australia for the past two seasons, joining forces with Jeremy Crowe and Jamie Stauffer in the Supersport class aboard Yamaha’s new R6.

Staring was the 2004 125GP champion and runner-up in the 2005 Supersport Privateer’s cup and has joined forces with YRT to strengthen his shot at the 600cc class trophy.

"I'm really excited about joining the team for the 2008 season, they are the most successful out there and I've found myself fitting in very well with everyone,"  

"I've had a few opportunities to test the R6, including yesterday's test at Eastern Creek, and the bike is incredible.

It's been a smooth transition and I hope to be competitive straight out of the box.

I don't feel I'll need any time to adjust once we hit the racetrack for the first round, the setup is already spot on and I feel I can only get better. It should be a fantastic season, I can't wait!"

Go Jamie! This year I hope Jamie takes both Superbike and Supersport again!

I Love the R6        

Australian Superbikes are at Queensland Raceway next weekend! 12th & 13th July Can't wait for a great day with friends and family and loads of bikes!

I hope next weekend is  better than this weekend!! You don't want rain then..

Pity I have to work ** or I might have come out, but have fun anyway and take lots of pictures..

** End of Financial year is a pain in the bum!! Glad it will be all sorted by the end of this month, fingers crossed!!

Cool I will post some if my camera starts to work again!

Did you go out to Queensland Raceway this weekend Darryl??

Hope you had a good time if you did and that you took lots of pictures....

Yep I went to the Sunday races and  it was great!  
7 guys in 3 races were carried away by the Ambulance, not good! They had a junior 80cc - 150cc race ( 3 of )and they were 9-14yr olds. One kid was around 9 or 10 and I don't think he could touch the ground because he was so small! We all gave him alot of support, he was so cute on the bike. Jamie won the first Superbike race and come 2nd in the 2nd race on Sunday.
We got lost coming home! Where was my iPhone with the GPS?  
My camera died last week so no pics.
