New Racer

[JohnBoy]

Due to increased pressure from mates i have decided to race this year in the Vic club winter series at manfield in the clubmans class.
as a stop gap measure i have decided to race my Zed until i have decided what type of bike to buy to race competitivly.
i have down geared the bike, put a set of super corsa's and put a set of ZX9R front fairing on. At the moment it dosen't have the sponsors logos on it but should have them on for the April 10th KB day at taupo, at its first hit out as a race bike.

Many thanks to those who have helped me on the way:
Martin Billing (Sparky Bills), Daniel Plaisted, Garth Blomfield, Motomart, Hamilton Motocycle Centre, Inframax Construction.

It seemed like I did get my Race licence a bit too easily. There was no basic handling skills test or anything like it, it was just paperwork I had to fill out

Anything I have to think about for next month? I'm hopefully entering the streetstock at manfeild. Do I have to join the VIC club now?

If you already have your race licence, you must be joined to a club already.
Thus you don't have to join Vic club as well.
But it would pay to if you where sure you would complete all 6 rounds.
As Vic club members get $10 discount per round. Vic Club membership is $35, ($25 for renewal), $60 discount - $35 Sub = $25 saving :banana: Ye ha,, I'll eat today!

Have you got a entry form? They must be in at least 7 days before the event.
NO ENTRIES ON THE DAY!

I hope to be in Streetstocks too.
See you there.

OK, where are these entry forms, on their site?

Also, you say I'm already in the Vic club cause I have a race licence? Doesn't sound right as it's a MNZ race licence, not a Vic club one or whatever.

See ya at the streetstocks if all goes to plan :niceone:

Wiring up the Sump plug shouldn't be a problem as we did it to the KX for the motard. Oil filter shouldn't be a problem, my bike is perfect and has no illegal mods, all I have to do now is send in my membership form to the Vic club and then enter the next race (if I'm right, it's on the 23rd isn't it?)

Yes entry forms on their site. Link on home page: Here (http://www.vicclub.co.nz/tiki-view_articles.php?type=Article)

No, I suggested you where aready a member of some club.
You aren't suppost to be able to get a MNZ race licence without being affiliated with a club first.
My suggestion to join Vic club was just an extra option.

Just to be clear, - You don't have to join Vic club if your already have your race licence through MNZ and another club.
Yes, Saturday the 23rd of April.

Hypothetical question time!

Assuming one wannabe noob rider, with only a small amount of offroad riding experience and wanted to get a road worthy and streetstock good bike, what should one get? And it should be good for most of the Learners/Restrickted phase.

Many possums,

Oh right. I'm in the Waiarapa Motocross Club, got the membership so we could go onto the track and learn to ride. That explains being able to get my MNZ licence

I plan to get a Vic club membership as it cheaper in the long run, then pay for all 6 races in advance (35% discount if you do)

And Cryhavoc, get a RG150 or KR150

RG 150, KR150, KRR150 all good. Don't get the RGV150, air cooled/ hopeless!

Should get a good RG150 for $2000. Will give heaps of fun right till you get your full Licence. CBR250 or similar would be nice, but your paying $4000 + for a good one.

i tlked to the CEO at work today and he is going to sponsor me :Punk:
So the bike will be striped up like my company vehicle, our ompany colours are white and yellow (hence the white fairings) all will be reveild at the first meet. looking foward to it!!

[Sparky Bills]

BRING IT ON BEEEEE-AAARRRCH!!!!!
Looking forward to this season!
Good luck!

Watch out for the 150 in qualifying! That guy is nuts! :shifty:

[vfr dan]

Good to hear john that you up and running!!! Bout time mate, and for you Sparky, you better be hoping that 900ss is hiding some hp somewhere because like j says its not gona be like last year.......!

$50 to who ever can beat my lap time in the first race of the first round sparky and john, no excuses!!!! Remember im only on a 400.
That should spicen it up abit!! :scooter: :2thumbsup


Any one out there that races a vfr400 nc30? know if a CBR100RR fits in, hahaha

[White trash]

$50 to who ever can beat my lap time in the first race of the first round

You're on! :2thumbsup

[Sparky Bills]

But Dan!
Not everyone is a little lepricorn like you and we have to have all our limbs hanging out to catch the wind! :killingme

And your on!!
easy peasy!!!

Both John and Dan..
You both better go through some knee sliders this year! NO EXCUSES!! :lol:

[JohnBoy]

knee sliders??? is that all?? might have to invest in some new peg before then!

[neil_cb125t]

well well well,
I know everyones throwing the shit around.
Anyone else going in the street stocks this winter??
It will be interesting to see how my RG will go against all those 250s out there.
Im in the same boat as john boy here first race meeting etc
but i can actually ride fast john.......
all jokes aside will be good season as long as my piston stays intact!

[vfr dan]

Piston!! is that all!, you best be hoping that the whole bike returns in one piece!You dont have a good track record!! need i say more, but that is racing.

And knee sliders? Yeah they might get down, they didnt get down much last year and i still was faster. I dont want them to slow me down.

I more scared off neil than you two anyway. :Punk: :banana:

[vfr dan]

Sorry WHITE TRASH, but the deal isn' open for you with the $50.If i read correctly. I race and its not cheap, if i open it to everyone then i may as well get myself sky tv because i would be to poor to anything else!!hahaha :niceone:

[JohnBoy]

but i can actually ride fast john.......


yeah, but your basing that idea on rides with oncoming traffic and angry people whom chase you with flashing lights. :whistle:

[vfr dan]

Dont worry bout him john, with his experience from the road and goin to an rg then you putting the zxr on da road you should get him on lap times....hehehe

And if you guys still cant sort it out get neil to go into clubmans or j tell vic club that she is a 250...hehehe :2thumbsup :2thumbsup

[JohnBoy]

hmmm... tempting.
although they might think somethings up after the hairpin!

anyways i got the logos on last night. heres the stripes it will run this season.
at work we are changing our logo so will be adding another one when they become availible.

Good luck to all out there and look forward to meeting you all! :ride:
