Kiwi Biker Trackday IV (November 5 2006)

[Devil]

Awesome photos Felix, i'll have to order some from you.

Shite. Is that my belly pan almost on the ground???

[speights_bud]

Yeah he was/is The girl on the back would have needed surgery to get rid of the smile on her face. She liked 130mph on the long straight

Yea turns out her mum didn't really want to hear details, Big ups to MSTRS for giving the g/f a pillion

Big thanks to FROSTY and tram for an awesome day, i felt it ran very smoothly and group sessions were changing well.

The GPX is now however sporting ground off footpegs and my boots are pretty fooked.( i shoulda fitted toe sliders)

I did have a few interesting experiences though, twice the back end let go due to exhaust hitting the ground but luckily avoided a highside and twice the front tyre began to wander and shudder changin from right to left through the esses on the new half of the track.
I think it's time i moved to a sprot's biek!.

All in all a great day people!

[speights_bud]

Not so silly - read it again and you'll get it...You said Speights_buds pillion seat was comfy...twice...I suggested it was relative and jokingly suggested that MSTRS has been making you sit on the cowling rather than the pillion seat all this time (when really it's just symptomatic of a dead sussy spring!).

It doesn't scan so well when I explain it.

Well I did offer to give her a ride on several occasions but for some reason she still declined...

Great day frosty well done again mate.

Im beyond my bike I need more grunt and performance so time to move on to something else Im thinking, bike did everything perfect and is going really well.

Buggy WTF, where you suddenly learn to ride fast...........got your mojo back, last trackday I was kicking your arse on me 400 , well those days are gone.

All in all great, only one dickhead cut me up on the inside (green ZXR400??)
not a race dude !!, hope I suitably rattled you through the sweeper

Looking forward to the next track day frosty!!

[speights_bud]

Hmmm, your bike looked stunning mate. Especially as I flew past it

Fer F*cks sake dude, if you were so damn fast then why didn't you move up a speed group? Remember its not a race day and alot of the guys (and Gals) are out there just to improve their riding

[Karma]

All in all great, only one dickhead cut me up on the inside (green ZXR400??)

Hmm... don't remember that,, what were you riding?

[boomer]

Um, open you eyes when you ride next time. Lap 2, last session, end of the main strait Boomer went past both of us.

You don't remember JSG cos i'm so smooth

[Quasievil]

Hmm... don't remember that,, what were you riding?

a Red GSXR400 (no 140) nothing personal, but if it was you, not a good move dude, stole my line and fucked me up, though I passed you back and that was the end of your race against me

back of a cereal packet.. got me license there too..
actually surprised myself..

Photos look good dude. Next time you want to sit on the inside of a corner with the camera set on TV (slow shutter) and get some of those cool looking panning (tracking) shots with the blurred backgrounds (They look fuckin cool )

Ha my camera is a Nikon, so its the S setting. Did a few panning shots. But it gets really tiring doing this for a 100 bikes, hence I have settled myself into the corner shots.

Example...

Yeah mate you really looked the business, I thought it was someone else riding your bike, because last time you where being beaten by a 400, this time you looked the man mate, well done, love seeing riders improve like that!!

(Im off to buy some wheatbix)

[Tony.OK]

There was also a guy on a black Fireblade in our group who gave me the learn, and learn I did well. Your speed into the sweeper onto the main straight, and the line around it - thanks for the lesson and the show - that was the most difficult corner for me.

Glad to be of some help to ya fella,its a shit of a corner,once ya suss out that the apex is 3/4 of the way round things get better.Catch ya at the next one

[Postie]

The only pic I have of Bugjuice courtersy of Cibby, and one of me giving HDTBoy's bike an easier run then it normally gets (note the scraped fairings, and thats not from a fall, or me)

[Tony.OK]

That would be me , I was surprised how quick the 600's etc were up the back straight , the poor TL is old and tired like me

If only you'd had a camera mounted to your bike,i'm sure that would've sped things up

[justsomeguy]

Um, open you eyes when you ride next time. Lap 2, last session, end of the main strait Boomer went past both of us.

Really??

I could have sworn that was Tony.OK in black leathers on a black CBR1000RR not Boomer on a Black and Silver CBR600RR in red Alpinestar leathers.

But eh what do I know ?

Either case I'll admit he is currently faster than me.
