Have to figure out how to upload them.

Make sure you download the right one. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Group 1 - don't need to get too carried away.

Another little rule i have not mentioned about the ART day. If you happen to have an off. Which is not likely, you and your bike will be but on a trailer. And driven through the pits. Slowly. You may encounter some ridicule from your fellow riders.

AWS, rule on the back protector. "It needs to be a hard shell and preferably articulated back protector. An in jacket one will be passed but not if it is simply a foam insert". But the comment was made that a proper Back protector is far safer and is the recommended option.

My views on this is well known. I wont ride without one. My spine is more important than a few dollars for a back protector. Its not a magic devise that will save you but it stacks the odds in your favor. And if your jacket moves or a zip fails its another bit of slide protection.

Only if its hard shell.

This is how I found out what I needed on an ART day.......

If you think only half our spine is worth protecting by all means wear a half sized back protector, if you think your entire spine is worth protecting wear a full sized one.

No ART days for me then until I get more gear. Good to get info about whats required

If that is only thing stopping you, you can borrow my back protector for the day. But it is an xxxl.

Marshals have first dibs on laughs anyway

They also have the option of kicking you for being stupid, and the odds of this occurring are directly proportional to how well the marshal knows you

I try not to be stupid, but there is no guarantee that it wont happen though.

Yeup, seen plenty.

No risk on the 11th (well, not from me). It clashes with something else.

Thanks for the offer. An xxxl I could wrap it right around my whole body and have a chest protector as well. Have to Cut holes for eyes to see through

I was interested in ART but the info came too late and I already had another mission planned. But its good to know for next time maybe.
Always learning sumtimk new.

Ive been asked about spectators for the ART day as we have 3 going now. No problem. Just turn up. Better still be a marshal. You will see more and be part of the action.

[nzspokes]

Riding its Friday isnt it, you lucky bugger, Saturday is out too, Sunday who knows?

Im doing a Motott day at Taupo on Friday. ART day is the week after.

[nzspokes]

Great to have you along tonight. It was another great ride. Suddenly things are starting to click into place and those nasty right handers are getting better. Just downloading the gopro. Looks good so far. Have to figure out how to upload them.

Ment to say yes you have come a long way. You saw a problem and have worked on it with Ks under the belt. Nice.

At the end of the day its the only real answer. You can read and watch every book, blog, video but unless you get your bum in the seat and get out and do it you will never master it. What was it Dora said "keep on swimming, just keep swimming" Good luck to all heading to Taupo this weekend. Weather does not sound the best so ride to the conditions.
