Top job too.
I do 4 track days a year on my Ducati ( only the cheap $50.00 ones) others pay $100 to $130 to ride Taupo and Manfeild per day, and if you are really, really rich, you can go to Hampton Downs and have $180.00 worth or fun, plus travel costs and somewhere to sleep/ eat.
Bucket trackdays once a month plus monthly race days might get a few more people interested, and give the out of towners more options to attend. Which is all good.
Cant wait to try out out me GN carb on the 7th June. Flipped the bars upside down and let some air out of the tyres, hopefully its wet as well, love racing in the rain.

Who was 'they' who put on the pressure?

[froggyfrenchman]

Excelent. Just the incentive that I need to finish this bucket project that has already taken far too long and free up some space on the bench for one of the "real' race bike projects that need to be finished for the summer season.

But you like rain.

Yep, its a shame that we couldn't make it up there. Could've been a bit of fun too, seeing as the FXR aint got no front brakes at the moment!! :laugh:

riding in the rain is OK its just the standing around in the rain waiting to ride thats the problem. I do have a FZR250 master cyl available if that helps? it's single disc so the ratios should be about OK.

Cheers mate, I actually have a seal kit coming from Napier!
