[prettybillie]

Love Manfield!

Hmmm want to do it, but falls the Monday after AMCC Round 5....might have to see what I can do to wangle it!

[crazyhorse]

Buggar - why are they always on a work day :crybaby: Just can't take the time off. Oh well.....maybe one day :weep:

Yeah I know, but I am looking at changing jobs in the new year..... Sounds like I might have got it, but they aren't in a hurry and making their decision after Christmas............. so doubt I could do it. Esp since I need to give a months notice where I am, so won't start with them until Feb at the earliest.

But hey, I haven't ruled it out altogether yet. Really want to do it on the GSXR too :yes:

[White trash]

Are there Hondas allowed at this track day?

[Cajun]

Are there Hondas allowed at this track day?

yes hondas are allowed, not allowed to discriminate against sexual orientation you know

[Pussy]

Are there Hondas allowed at this track day?

They've been allowed in the past.....

that little bugger rachprice carved me with her RVF400!

[Racey Rider]

Great track day and a feed - $100
Going round the outside of GSXR 750's on your KR150 through the sweepers - Priceless!

Mate if I am still down Wellywood way I'd be keen on this. Busting to go to a track day!

The only time I was on Manfield was to fang patrol cars around it in 2003.

Good value for a hundy, Cam!
I promise you'll LOVE it.... get in touch with Lloyd soon... these days are getting more popular, and fill up fairly quick

[huff3r]

I'll have to check where this falls on the Uni calendar... but i'm guessing you'll tell me it's worth missing a day at uni for? :bleh:

[Pussy]

Did Rose Kennedy have any black dresses?
Of course it's worth it!!

I second that!
I will be trying my hardest to get there, more to do with funds than getting a day off uni!!

[crazyhorse]

............ I was thinking this too :whistle:

[Beemer]

Buggar - why are they always on a work day :crybaby: Just can't take the time off. Oh well.....maybe one day :weep:

Do our club's one instead - it's on a Saturday (this Saturday) and only $50 - no free lunch but you can buy one for a few bucks!

[Pussy]

just tell em you have arrangements made for this day when you start.....

Dead right! Easy to book in a pre-arranged day off.
Will be a good day, as always!

[bert_is_evil]

Will there be slow/med/fast groups?

[Pussy]

Will there be slow/med/fast groups?

Yep!
There were three groups last time. Suitable for newbies to experts

[codgyoleracer]

Am looking forward to helping out at this day again, & they guys always seem to get the weather right :-)

[sinfull]

Bwahahahaha no scalping allowed Kelly, you'll know which group you should be in !

I'll be going along for the cake !

[unhingedlizard]

Are there still spots left? Will be there if my new fairing ever turns up.

Give Lloyd a call on the numbers at the beginning of the thread.... last time he and I spoke, there were a few places left

[bert_is_evil]

ha! Keen but trying to keep the inner Rossi under control after....well you know....

[Toaster]

I was looking forward to this but looks like I will be working!

[bounce]

I;'m in!! Booked and paid.
If you see me getting a wises maps book out mid circuit it is just because I can't find any of the apexes and am looking to be pointed in the right direction.. :laugh:
Long circuit apparently. Can't wait.

[Pussy]

It will be an awesome day, bounce!
I've never finished the day with these guys thinking I didn't get enough track time. being able to get the good oil from Brian is invaluable

[bounce]

hey anyone doing photos?
If not I'll bring the cam along if I'd likely be allowed to shoot from the infield somewhere..

[boba_8]

Can you provide more info about this day. I went to the CDMTC open day @ Manfield on 3rd of April, was first time on track so am keen to get out again. Will you be running different groups (i.e. novice, medium, fast. Was in medium last time, and wouldn't mind staying in it if there will be one)? Also what are the rules regarding bike condition/state (i.e. do we need WOF, will there be scrutineering before going out)? How many people are you planning to get out there, and how many have signed up so far? If you could provide us with a pdf/word document answering some FAQs that'd be cool.

There are three groups. Road and track only bikes allowed. Approx 10 spots left..55 people signed up so far.
These days are VERY well run... any silly bugger behaviour gets rewarded with an arse full of Brian Bernard's boot. A free lunch is provided.
Give Lloyd a call on the numbers at the beginning of the thread.
My insurance company (John Baker Insurance) provides me with cover for the day.
Ask ANYONE who has done one of Lloyd's track days... you won't hear a negative comment! :)

It's a training day Boba ! 3 groups so ya don't get intimidated with racers flying past at warp speed ! Brian takes novices and those that might like a little extra tuition aside (last day it was over on the long circuit extension) for 30 minutes or so for a yarn about hmmm stuff !
CD days are cool and cheap as chips, but where else would you get to spend time on and off the track with a someone who has lived to race like Brian Bernard ! Not to mention if i'm not mistaken, the NZ F3 (reigning) champion Glen Williams has also volunteered his time for this one, spent time on the track with glen today haha was fun following him for hmmm 1 or 2 corners each time he lapped me lol (ok so he was testing and wasn't showing me, but i sure got the learn)

So hmmmm lets see, 60 odd riders in three groups (no crowded track)
1 on 1 tuition on and off track (a word to these guys and they will follow you for a lap or so to see what your up to, then pass ya, tap the rear of their bike as in follow me and take you through the corners as they should be done, advantage for you here with only having done the one trackday is no bad habits to correct yet)
Dozens of other trackday guys and gals, some of em racers to pick the brains of ! (Disclaimer : for THEIR ideas NOT neccessarily the best ideas lol)
AND CAKE Mmmmm, i only go for the lunch ! Tuition is cool, but the lunch ............


you won't hear a negative comment! :) Far too loud in them cockpits aye ?

[Pussy]

Far too loud in them cockpits aye ?

You'll have to speak up a bit... I'm a little hard of hearing! :p

[rz2rf]

Im not sure if we are running a catering event, or a motorcycling event,... now where was I?
Note to all, we are nearly full, so any entry spaces on the day look very unlikely.
If anyone plans to attend that will need to contact me to ensure we have space, as I want to keep numbers down to a manageable level. Everyone please bring good weather! I am so looking forward to catching up with Team Top Dresser, and their nefarious associates! LOL.
Please note EVERYONE! The briefing will start at 8.30a.m. Please be on time so we can make the most of the day. Thanks

[simikiel]

I've just put in a leave request ... if approved I'll be there taking photos.

[boba_8]

Anyone from Wellington going? I'm contemplating going, and would be putting the gixxer on the trailer so could squeeze in another 2 bikes max if any of you guys are willing to split the diesel cost with me? PM me or email boba_8@hotmail.com. By the way, I'm in Titahi Bay so would be leaving here around 6ish on the day.

I, however, would like to put my order in for banana and choc chip muffins, blueberry muffins, and those cinnamon pinwheel things you make.
Thank you very much!

[rz2rf]

Since when has Bill had a pussy, or is that is a pussy or... well you know!!
I think we have a case of mistaken identity! Might have to double the fee for Pussy to go to track days in future! Roll on 26th team.

[merlin]

Hi all,

Unfortunately the powers that be have thrown a spanner in the works....which means that I can't make it to the Manfield track day, 26th April. :crybaby:

Please email me at merlinlepper@gmail.com if you want a place.

Cheers

[Pussy]

Hey Joanne... Bill only wants a lettuce leaf and a couple of lentils for lunch... I'll have his cake. Ta!

[Pussy]

Only one from this household that can attend as well (glad it's me!)
SOOO... two spaces free.
Get in touch with Lloyd if you're keen, folks!

[Badland]

Wicked day thanks heaps to the Organizers. Any one putting up any vids on You tube?

[Pussy]

Yep.... another cracker!
There's getting to be familiar faces at each one... good habit, eh?
Perfect weather as well... track felt good.
Thanks Lloyd an Jo! :niceone:

[Pussy]

Anyone know who was taking the pics?

[sinfull]

Well there wont be any youtube vids of my chasing down Dallas and passing him.... sigh ! "He pushed the wrong button" ! Starting to think the cam he had was a fake and he was just winding me up the whole time grrrr !

Good bloody day, Thanks again Lloyd and Jo, the lettuce leaf rocked !!!

[Pussy]

Good bloody day, Thanks again Lloyd and Jo, the lettuce leaf rocked !!!
And those 10 pies and dozen filled rolls, Bill!..... :)

[sinfull]

And those 10 pies and dozen filled rolls, Bill!..... :) Your just jealous cause i wouldn't share the lentils ! And it was only 3 filled rolls (and a dozen bits of cake)

[simikiel]

Anyone know who was taking the pics?

Yep, that was me, and my girlfriend. Took a crapload of photos and started sifting through them last night.

I'm currently at work but will try and get them out as soon as possible!

Legend! Look forward to seeing them. You enjoy the day?

Oh man, I so didnt!!!!
Despite a crash (never liked that dam screen anyway) and possibly blowing up my bike, I felt my riding was better at the end of the day! (It would want to be!!!)
Think I might have got that dam start of the left hander after the hairpin on the long track

[Sentox]

Assuming I'm thinking of the right corner, it's a slightly tricky one isn't it? That repair that runs across it adds a nice little bump. Was nice to meet you yesterday!

[rachprice]

Mmmm not sure if it was that dam chain lube I accidently ran over in the pits....thought I got it all off, or could have just been a rookie cold tyre thing
Just gutted that no one saw my sweet highside save on turn 1 but everyone saw me in the grass dam it!

Oh yeah I just realised you meant the corner

If you want to really maximise the humiliation, make sure to pass someone just before you crash. I did that on the road and said car's occupants had to stop and lift my bike off me :(

[Sentox]

Wow. I only click reply once, and I get a double post. Go Firefox.

[Pussy]

Long track is GOOD! Evens out the tyre wear. :)

[sinfull]

possibly blowing up my bike, Awwww no, was that on that "just one more" session ?

[simikiel]

Legend! Look forward to seeing them. You enjoy the day?

Yeah, love doing photos out Manfield! Weather was great too. Awesome to see you guys having a great time out there too.

Only problem is I've taken 1700 photos...all of which I need to look at individually (most of which don't turn out). I'm hoping to get them out by the end of the week, if not sooner.

Will post up when they're done.

[bounce]

cheers simikiel, keep an eye out for the green bike, I'd be stoked to see any pics you might have grabbed!

Thanks Lloyd for the day, great time, couldn't have asked for better weather. Long circuit is fantastic look forward to trying it again.
There were no injuries from the few spills on the day I hope?

[rachprice]

Awwww no, was that on that "just one more" session ?

yes :weep:

[unhingedlizard]

yes :weep:

Oh no! Wasent your day really. Oh well. Money comes and goes but memories last forever. Ask anyone who has eve owned a two stroke!

Hope you didnt hurt yourself.

[rz2rf]

Injuries, were mainly bikes and pride, but not necessarily in that order! Thanks guys a good day most most accounts. Have had some concerns about passing behaviour etc by some Motards, (why always motards??, just because it looks likes they having so much fun?) Is a dedicated motard group the solution, if so they had better find some friends! And I dont want more people so.... you see where this going people???
Seriously, I dont want accidents hence the safety briefing, so invite everyones feedback on this. No slanging matches please.
Am looking forward to these photos and have had enquiries about them.

[Pussy]

The only downside of the day for me, Lloyd..... there were no muffins! :)

I'm just about half way into the photos...it's a long, tedious process having to look at each and every photo, doing little adjustments and so forth. So far there's 400+ that will definitely be posted, so hopefully everyone features at least one. Unfortunately, my camera's auto-focus didn't seem to lock on properly to some bikes/riders so some will feature more than others due to this.

Bounce, were you on the Green Kawasaki ZX6R? If so, your bike sadly counts in the my-camera-doesn't-like-you category ... but since I'm only half way through, there may be a few more lying around, but we'll see what happens!

haha yeah mate,. no worries, I'm about to have a shot at posting up a few that a mate of mine shot while he was there. He didnt make it as far out onto the infield as you, but who knows, maybe I can find a handful of pics to keep the masses occupied for a few more minutes while you dig out the pro stuff ;)

[bounce]

right, here's a handful of pics I've done a bulk resize and upload to photobucket. Sorry fast people, most all of these shots are of the medium group. Each shot will have a file name on it, if there is one you want a hi-res copy of chuck me a PM and I'll see what I can do..

Motards in the fast group only Lloyd, most in that group could get away from them and aleviate dicing with em in the infield and some even enjoy the elbow shit that goes on lol

Nah not really haha
Despite that I felt my riding improved heaps in the last session
And I know exactly what you mena I used to own a piece of shit RGV, that I loved dearly
Luckily Im relatively flexible and bouncy (and it was pretty low speed haha)

[codgyoleracer]

Congratu;ations gentlemen & ladies for all being pretty much well behaved and having a darn good day. Gotta love that Manawatu Autumn weather aye......
