Wgtn Kaitoke 20 Sept

[F5 Dave]

Well someone better start a thread so the bitch slap talking can commence.

um, I'm going to, er, slap your bitch:spanking: I think. Am I doing this right? sorry it's been a while.:blank:



Well I pulled the dear old fiddy out of it's hibernation to check it over for sunday only to find some damage that I hadn't noticed from my Feb spill. The rear reservoir had been given a bit of a tug & there was some fluid loss but it seemed an easy fix & will just need a re-bleed. Wonder how that 8 month old petrol will be? Best clean out the carb too.

The only question is whether I can ride it. I've been ok on the odd foray on the 750, but the 50 is somewhat more cramped & I'm not sure if I can cope with hanging off. I don't have much strength in certain positions & falling off would be ill advised. In fact the physio was certainly not for it when I mentioned the idea. Maybe I need a hired gun to ride it, just to see it goes. . . . Hmm I have an idea.

Not sure I could cope with a whole day racing, but I would like to just get out there & circulate.

What direction this time? Start time prolly 8-9am?

[Skunk]

Reverse direction I believe. 8am at the latest or you may not get registered in time... :laugh:

[Trudes]

Yeah be there or be square!!
Be good to see you on the track again Dave! You could always come out in B grade and "circulate" and seeing as you probably don't have any points yet this season you could pick up some B grade points! *cough burglar cough* :lol:

[F5 Dave]

Actually that was entirely the plan to run off the back of the B grade, at least at the start. It's taken a long time to get to this stage so I really don't want to go backward by stacking it.

[Kendog]

Anti clockwise this time.

Plenty of room in B grade, we are all nice courteous riders :msn-wink:

[fi5hy]

Are you planning on watching your bike go around at some stage Dave?

[nudemetalz]

Be good to see you out there again, Dave.

[F5 Dave]

Well I re-bled the rear brake & cleaned out the carb which was somewhat gooey & pilot jet was blocked so I'm glad I did.

[Str8 Jacket]

Well niether of us will be riding at the big K this weekend. The lil FXR still isnt going since its encounter with a cage...

[Jubba]

not going to make it on the track this time but will will be reddy for slipway.rg just went in today to get new mounts for the engine put on,ive got all the protictive gear now less a back procter so thats all the hard stuff out the way,

will defently be coming for a watch anyway

[VasalineWarrior]

Actually that was entirely the plan to run off the back of the B grade, at least at the start. It's taken a long time to get to this stage so I really don't want to go backward by stacking it.

You'll be with me and Nick/Dwayne aka Team Crash Lots so stacking it is always an option

Don't worry we can give advice on how best to barrel roll or failing that keep you company in the gravel pit

[F5 Dave]

Long range forecast looks ok.

[Ronin]

Long range forecast looks ok.

Trudes made a deal with God for good weather :whistle:

;) You betcha!!:moon::sunny: (There is no flasher smiley!)

[Ronin]

;) You betcha!!:moon::sunny: (There is no flasher smiley!)

My mind... It boggles I tell you....:blah:

[hmurphy]

Awesome! Long range weather forecast is predicting a dry track. I will definitely be there all ready to race. Hopefully my knee isn't the size of a watermelon by then. Swelling or no swelling I am still going to race on it though, this round has been long awaited! Reverse track too. Keeeeen

[Skunk]

Reverse track - hate it...

[F5 Dave]

Yeah I'm not keen on reverse track as much as clockwise, but on the + side if I do fall off it is mostly left handers.

Well same site is now showing rain for sunday. Still time for forecast to change several times before then & still be different to upper-upper hutt micro-climate.

[Trudes]

I like the reverse track, lefty corners are fun bro!!

[fi5hy]

Love it !!!!!!!! Its a race track where the corners don't change every lap its got to be good:2thumbsup

[nudemetalz]

I'm a fan of the reverse direction also. Looking forward to it.

[F5 Dave]

Well my favored weather site is back to predicting beter weather than ever. Hoorah!

[andrew a]

Looking forward to it.

[richban]

I have rebuilt the carb and done some more jetting and she is going better than ever. For the last 3 meetings I have spent more time pissing around with the carb than riding. Looking forward to less spanner time. I am a spaz on left handers so looking forward to rectifying that to.



She you all there.

[Skunk]

I'll bring my jet drills for ya Rich...

[richban]

I'll bring my jet drills for ya Rich...

Stop it. Anyway I ended up buying some of me own. It is now running a 400 main just under 2 mm. It makes power all the way to the limiter now.

No more spanner time. I know now I have said that I'll be up to my elbows in gas again.

[nudemetalz]

Not able to go now this weekend :(

Have fun.

[ajturbo]

Not able to go now this weekend :(

Have fun.
it's ok.. looks like i will take your place.....

[Sketchy_Racer]

Bring on tomorrow.

I have new development parts in the bike now which I can't wait to test, hopefully it will help getting the bike handling like I want.

[hmurphy]

Weather is looking TOTALLY MINT FOR TOMORROW!!!! My knee seems to have healed up enough and my bike is running awesome. Looking forward to racing tomorrow a hell of a lot!!!! YUS YUS YUS!!!!!!!!!!

[Skunk]

Firken' hell... where will it end?

[F5 Dave]

In the kitty litter probably.:lol:

[Sketchy_Racer]

In the kitty litter probably.:lol:

Smart arse..... possible correct smart arse though. :pinch:

[Sketchy_Racer]

There is some of that in the garage, I never use it so I am sure you can have some :whistle:

[F5 Dave]

I'm about to pack the van so I'll make sure I have some 800 in there.

[=cJ=]

Hehe, this should be interesting.

If you see a number 88 going slow, be nice pwease :p

[nudemetalz]

My aim is to make Lady P last the whole day and also not crash......

[Mudflaps]

So untill 5 hours ago, i wasn't going to be able to make it...but thanks to mowing Mrs Hunters lawn for her and a late minute bike assembly , I have the entry money in hand and have just finished putting the Tapeworm back together. Have made a few modes and are looking forward to trying them out, even if the are only small changes:)

See you all in 6.5 hrs!!

AWESOME

[Bert]

nice mudflaps. see ya in a few hours mate..

[all4A50s]

Buckets out
de-icing the glass
bikes and gear all loaded
watching the sun rising over the ridge
with the bird chirping their morning greeting
forecasts for fine and fifteen
my nostrils ache
for that knowing smell of 2-strokes
and ears patiently wait
for the sound of spark meeting fuel
The coffee's are downed
kids are packed
off to Johns
then onto the track

what a nice way to start the day...

[Trudes]

Well what a beaut day for racing!! Hope everyone had fun in the sun, especially our out of town visitors and Kaitoke virgins :)
I hope I didn't pass on the disgusting flu I have, tried not to breathe, sneeze or cough on any of you. Some good racing today folks!! :sunny:

[hmurphy]

What an awesome day! Finally crashed [twice] which is good. I haven't crashed in a few months until today! Was awesome to see another good turn out and was lots of fun learning the track in the other direction. I have some footage from the last race of the day (where I crash right near the end - ON FILM) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTjkTAn4R7g

I noticed there was a guy taking photos earlier on in the day, where abouts would we find those? I am assuming he is going to upload to the internet.

Anyway, congrats to everyone! It looked like everyone was having a blast, I sure as hell know I did! Now to wait for the next bucket meeting.... I friggin' hate waiting

[fi5hy]

What a premo day. Was good to get out there & see that the bike still worked. Felt quite good if somewhat rusty, but that will pass. Hoping to be properly bike fit next month.

Get a perm.

[andrew a]

I had a great day. Good racing to. Thanks for the video Fi5hy it was a good battle until the FXR locked into 3rd gear. Good to see so many bikes out there to. Caleb was very pleased with his results. Caleb said Tex has a video of Sketchyes tank slapper. Hopefully we will see it soon.

Good footage there, AJ.
Thanks for sharing. Pleased to see me feature in there a little also.
Be a good memory to hang on to.

That was awesome, thanks Tex.

I especially loved the "gotta be careful passing the wife" commentary.

[Trudes]

Yeah yeah, I let you through didn't I!! :shutup::lol:

[fi5hy]

Thanks Tex good work mate Peter Jackson will get hold of you soon::laugh:

[Bert]

Nice Work Fish & Tex.
Bloody great day of bucket racing. It was great to see the numbers have increased over the last year or so. All the races were fun to watch with some really good battles through-out the field. can't wait to get out there again myself.

[325rocket]

i did a quick ride by to have a look. what a cool little track, looks like a lot of fun.

[ajturbo]

you still tripping man.. hope your feeling better.... that will teach ya to crash without telling me first...(yeah i missed it)

[andrew a]

Thanks for the video and comentry Tex. I was having a ball of a time. The traction was fantastic. I dont consider I was blocking Fishy. I was trying to ride as fast as I could to keep out of his way. I realy should have been consentrating on trying to take on Glen! If I had let Fishy past he would have left me behind but I'm still green at this ashfelt stuff. Look forward to next time and hopefully it will be dry again.

[Ronin]

I saw it... Scored him a 7 out of 10 :jerry:


bet it hurt the next day though

Actually had no injuries at all (good riding gear) but the bike needed a little hammering to keep going.

Yeah some more great footage from you! When will we see you on the track again though?

I couldn't believe how much grip there was either! I have never ridden so aggressive and I feel like I am improving heaps with every race meeting. I hope to eventually get closer and closer to the front of A. But for now the slow climb there is awesome! Also I enjoy and try to take on board all the advice I am getting from everyone, so cheers!

I should have put in a discaimer about the audio just in case I was slagging off anybody.. It's not really blocking it's a matter of placing your bike so your opposition can't make use of any extra speed they may make up in one area.
I usually just try to go as fast as I know how to but during a points race I'll use whatever helps without trying to be bloody minded. Especially when it's the Fishman.

[Trudes]

Hey there's nothing wrong with blocking..... :innocent:

[Ronin]

Hey there's nothing wrong with blocking..... :innocent:

Your husband...

[Trudes]

Your husband...

Him the most!!! :laugh: (As long as he's not lapping me, otherwise he cries like a bitch when we get home) :dodge:

[F5 Dave]

Yeah Fish gets pretty close to the inside of the corner entry when you start pushing him so I wouldn't lose any sleep.

[fi5hy]

A race is from flag to flag and if I can't get by tough shit for me. Andrew you were riding hard mate and there was no CLEAN way passed so good on ya keep it up I do enjoy a good battle
