Any KB'ers wanting to have a meeting point? Be nice to get to know some of you in person:niceone:

[boman]

I'll be there, my 44th time...

My second time this year. Family commitments have kept me away in the past, so last year I said sod the faily and went to Wanganui. Awesome time. Prefer the setup to Paeroa. Don't know why, just do.

[ynot slow]

Hopefully this year,had to work last year,be return to venue after 25yrs or so since last time.

[pritch]

I got pissed-off with all the deer fences making it hard to get a spot to take photos so I was going to give the road courses a miss this summer. Circumstances have changed, however, and I'll be in Wanganui again -
sans camera this time.

[steelestring]

Hell yes! I will be leaving early and coming through the wairarapa ways.

[Cheshire Cat]

Your first time at the Cemetary Circuit?
It's a kb tradition to wear your undies on your head... so just do that to be recognised.....

Good God no! I've been about 8 times in the last 10 years, and my SV has even been raced on the circuit by my ex (his GSXR600 had a problem at the time), so as it was Christmas, and me being kind (mug more like it), let him take my bike. Came 10th in both races too :2thumbsup

Undies on head huh?? Funny, didn't manage to spot you last year :killingme

[Pussy]

Yep.... I was there! You didn't look hard enough! :niceone:

[Ferkletastic]

We'll be there. Hopefully the rain stays away.

[RnB Fan]

Didn't make it last year as I was down south but planning on going this year. It's normally a great day out and well worth the entrance fee.

Hey Doug,
I was allowed there once I was toilet trained, you must have been a slow learner eh?

[Elysium]

I'm going. Missed last years so aren't going to miss this years. What is parking like at the event anyway?

[boman]

I'm going. Missed last years so aren't going to miss this years. What is parking like at the event anyway?

Last year there were heaps of bikes, parked down the bottom by the supermarket. In fact there were heaps of bikes parked every where, on the roadside. We left ours up at the motel and legged it down.

[RnB Fan]

2 years ago I parked in a car park somewhere - I'm no good on directions - where I paid $10 for the day and was able to leave all my gear there as well. Anyone know if this is a regular thing? Hoping to do something similar this year.

[crazyhorse]

THere are a couple of different places you can do this.

THe Ulyses are also doing it somewhere around the circuit. Search further back on this thread, you might find it............

[Tink]

If anyone is riding, we are taking the car... sleep wise... so if ya need gear carried ...just holla!

[EatOrBeEaten]

Tix arrived a couple of days ago, camping booked, going to spend Xmas day riding down from northland. :D

Can wiser heads tell me what the score is WRT petrol stations on the main highways on Xmas day? Don't want to end up stranded somewhere scary and weird (Hamilton! :shit: ) as nowhere is open...

[boman]

We rode down Xmas day last year. There was gas at Bombay, BP at Ngaruawahia, Te Kuiti, Otorahonga, Tamaranui, and Ratahi. Distance, Bombay to Tamaranui is 240km. Then to Wanganui about 180km.Thats the route we took.

[EatOrBeEaten]

Sweet as, were planning to take the Te Kuiti route. :)

[Tink]

I'm going - can't wait
Just checked the weather and at this stage looks like rain :(

[Corse1]

Oh yeah this will be my first time to cemetery circuit..can't wait. Weather looks ok now :2thumbsup Going up from Welly as I rode the bike down here for Christmas.

Going up on my own at this stage but sure there will be loads of bike traffic...
Now what was that KB wave again ;)

Whats the best time to turn up if gates open at 8am?? Does racing start around 11 and practice before??

[TOTO]

T - 1 hour :D

[Tink]

And the weather is brilliant, the motel is kicking.. thanks Boman! Can't wait to post photos... tomorrow... ;)

[TOTO]

Such a nice place. We got the meanest lodge in town - AnnDion Lodge - highly revcommended :)

[pritch]

It seems the weather gods will be smiling. Here's hoping y'all have an enjoyable day at the races.

Hopefully I'll meet just a few of you but since I never learned the secret KB wave I'll miss most of you. My loss.

If you see a geriatric wandering around clutching a Rossi replica helmet, however, it just might be me :whistle:

[TOTO]

Just look for the KB t-shirts bro :niceone:

[Tink]

Yup me too... kb shirt on .... in pink !!!

[TOTO]

first time i'm wearing mine in public too. See ya fellas out there soon :)

[Paul in NZ]

Been listening to the steady roar of loudenised HD's headed up SH1 most of the morning. About the only vehicles we can reliably (and regularly) hear from our place :angry2:

[Elysium]

Well I have to say the races were bloody good. I really loved watching the Motards in action, particularly the leading two who fought it out in all the races and leaved the rest of the field behind.

One funny moment came during the pre 63 classic where some guys Norton lost his left muffler so its back end was still attached to the rear of the bike but dragging the rest behind him.

Good all up and wil be going next year.

Oh and lets not forget the track girls too. :niceone:

Yep, it was an awesome day. Some great passing moves for the lead in the Robert Holden Memorial race on the superbikes! And those 600s got mighty close to the kerbs going through the esses!!

[rachprice]

I am really gutted I was sick and had to leave early, was my first one and my was my good friends first time racing!
At least he did really well!!! A little 125 2 stroke in F3 and didnt come last, even beat a few f3 bikes!

[gatch]

Yur it was the business !

The classic side chair dudes are awesome watching, the super motos were spectacular, saw a few spills, some technical malfunctions.

Plenty of talent around.. Beer. Sun. 1500hp drag bike that tears a savage rent in the time space continuum when it revs..

[Elysium]

Yep did it during one race and sure one rider almost toppled over as he rode past.

[Grunok]

What a fabulous day! Wonderful weather and some great racing, too. Good to see Jared Love out there again, and good work Scrivvy on that second race. Great to watch! :sunny:

Has anyone heard if the guy who fell in the Classics is okay? I saw him go down and it's in my head a bit... :pinch: I hate seeing riders go down and then not knowing that they were okay in the end. Can anyone reassure me?

[road king]

was a wicked day alright, ive got some pictures i mite post up tomorrow...

Nothing but respect for every one of the guys and girls out there doing it. Legends....Slightly mad legends, but those are the best kind.

[sinfull]

Was a great day, pleased i made the effort to get up and watch a few races !!!

[Tink]

Got home at 6am this morning, and I am still buzzing!!!!

[Tink]

Saw lots of camera's but you always want your own shots... climbing onto graves to take pics was a bit odd, but I am short.

[boman]

Fantastic day, just got home from Taupo. 600kms in a day, my butt is hating me. The racing at Wanganui was, as usual, first class. Big cheer to all who participate, the female swinger who fell off in front of us looked a bit groggy and winded. I presume she was alright as she was back for the next race. Bring on 2010. :clap::clap::headbang::niceone:

Rocketgal68, bet you are glad you did the Cemetery Circut now huh??

I saw a norton Dominator starfish straight into the hay bales at Pirelli Overbridge, he was OK enough to be embarrassed, if that is what you are referring to, it was all good bar the bent bike.

Astrid hurt her leg (not seriously)but was otherwise ok, she didn't go out again, they subbed in the young lady out of the classic sidecar (name escapes me at the moment)

Thats good to read that she was ok. Looked bloody sore when she got up. Hard hit into the hat bales as well. Mucho Cajones for doin that shit IMHO.

Thanks for the info.

Awesome day out in Wangavegas. :2thumbsup Rode up with a mate from Welly and we spent the day in awe of the lads and lasses hurtling around the circuit. It just gets better and better each time I go. Funniest part of the day was watching the two guys having a punch up beside the Warehouse while the bikes were racing. No idea what they were fighting about but it provided entertainment while waiting for the bikes to complete the lap and come round again!

[denill]

Not a good day for the bird who went back to her '89 Harley to find it goooone...........

Arseholes................. :mad: :mad:

[sarahtvet]

I was a circuit virgin but couldn't have picked a better year to start. Awesome weather for a run from Palmie with a couple of CD'ers:ride:
Caught up with loads of guys from the CDMTC, the napier crew, fellow Duckies and Billy T James' twin from New Plymouth.
Didn't get called out so could have worn shorts after all :lol:
Have a bikers tan now too.
Great racing,really enjoyed the 'Italian job' in the motards and the post classic rider on the Kwaka (3) made me dream of racing SK1PY one day :love:
Found myself worrying about when and where riders were braking etc, getting far too hooked on the track methinks :innocent:
Cool to spend the day with Charlie41 and some of the wellie crowd, will be seeing them again soon.
In the diary for next year.
Triumph Owners club need a huge :2thumbsup: for looking after the gear and the bike so well, definately worth $10

[Pussy]

Guy? I dunno if Tracey would like being called a guy? although if she was that would explain Sidecarbobs gayness

I wonder if there is any previous history of mental illness in Tracy's family?
She is FAR too nice for sidecar bob!!

Jo and Tracy looked a good team at Taupo! :niceone:

Get well soon, Astrid
