[MD]

No one's replied to your thread Sparky so to make you feel better I will- hello.
Hope you're right on this I could be tempted. Time to check the Manfield web page. Jimbo, Deano & Flame where are you?

[Two Smoker]

IM tempted.... but fucking poor... wanna buy me some tyres??? i will do it then...

Out getting some practise mate not wasting time on the internet.

We'll be there of course unless I'm working which is quite probable.

[Marknz]

I might even pop up on the Storm and play mobile chicane for you lot. Will WT still be here then?

[madboy]

Oh the temptation. But no thanks. New leathers won't be here by then, and I'm too scared of damaging my cordura, would make it hard to get to work :) Besides, knowing that I'm such a pussy I'll be lucky to beat my MX-5 times around Manfeild, and that just doesn't suit my ego.

[Coyote]

I don't wanna damage the bike further before round 3

[JohnBoy]

i will look at it closer to the time and see if i can convince the CEO to let me take my work ute down... other wise i will have to bring my own car.

[Motoracer]

IM tempted.... but fucking poor... wanna buy me some tyres??? i will do it then...

Don't forget the traveling costs as well. Fuck the tires, it's only practice. I'd chuck any old tires on and get the track time but getting there and back on the 19th and do it all over again the next weekend for round 3 would be a bit much money wise...

[White trash]

Fucken. Oates.

[mikey]

ifor a session (after a sessh) ll be there on gsxr 1000.......

$40 for the day was the old arrangement. You'd get at least 4 sessions for that, at about 15 minutes a session.

Better value than go-karting. Unless ya bin, then you're fucked.

[MSTRS]

Unless ya bin, then you're fucked.
Hexcoos me - did I titsup yesterday on yer slimey welly hill ?

[Slingshot]

Hi all, does anyone know what the days timetable will look like? And will bikes and cars be on the track at the same time?

I'm keen to get along but can probably only stay until 12:30ish.

Even if I don't sign up and get out on the track I'll probably come and have a look anyway. I'll bring the video camera up so I might be able to film the first couple of sessions.

The bikes go on at different times to the cars.
If your there untill 12.30, you will prob get to see one session of the bikes.

[Deano]

I could be keen. Fingers crossed.

[madboy]

Weather forecast not spectacular, but I'll try to get there.

Please remember to be gentle to my ego.

Mate you have given me new motivation to get to manfeild, "crush the ego" and if there's anything left on the way home i'll destroy that to.

Deano, hope you can make it mate, you don't have to fear the TL no more it's been retired (for a little while), but you sure as shit can fear my new bike, ya poofy honda rider :motu: , whens the K5 coming.

Thanks for clearing that up Sparky, just don't get in the way of others while you wait up for me.............

[Sparky Bills]

Weather is always different to what Palmy is.
Dont know how many times its been raining in Palmy and dry at Manfield.
Hope this time is no exception.

[loosebruce]

What bike ? Your NSR ? (poofy Honda rider ?)

Ah yes well in typical Honda fashion it aint going so i'm not riding it, or uh is that in typical Bruce style?

Fark the weather is shit, oh well on with the wet weather gear i'm heading off for welly soon, i dont fancy my chances of making it in one peice........

[Slingshot]

I'm in Palmerston North now and the weather is crappy.

If anyone wants a weather report tomorrow morning, PM me with your cellphone number and I'll text one out.

I won't be riding tomorrow but I may still turn up at Manfield for a look.

[mikey]

sorry guys. w3eather in palmy been shitte all day, hopefully see some good crashes for hentertaninment

[Slingshot]

Weather is not too bad today.
Overcase but not raining. Roads are damp but should dry out if it doesn't rain again.

Bugger, now it clears at the last minute. A few of us were looking forward to getting there but called it off last night and slept in. Too late now to get there. Atleast its fine here so off to the Wairarapa for the day. A long awaited fine day.

[GSVR]

Ended up staying fine the whole day.

Three groups ran: Difters (who should have had their meeting yesterday), Non Drifter boy racers. And Bikes.

All the bikes there were Kiwibikers except for two guys on formula 3 racebikes (Vic club members).

Quite a bit of crap on the track caused by the drifters going agricultural. No bikers had any bins.

My first time on the track. First session I was lapped by everyone at least once but improved as the day went on.

Last session there was only me and the two Vic club guys out everyone else had made tracks for home. Well worth the $40

Anyone intersted in doing the testday on Friday. Its $80 but you get alot more tracktime I was told.

[jimbo600]

Mint day. GSXR's ruled the day. Hayden and Loose bruce were the guns out there followed by Me Deano & Vicky. Sparky Bills tootled around too sparking up his sliders. Weather was good all day. The car club ran a good day in my view. Managed to have plenty of separation between the drifters and the bikes meaning that there wasn't too much crap on the track. Cool as beans day. Good to catch up with all that turned up.

Tazman where were ya.

[Slingshot]

I was gutted we decided to bring the car up to Palmy yesterday, I would have loved to have been out there.


Anyway, I got some footage of the first session so I'll get it sorted and put it up here, I tried to get everyone as they were coming off the sweeper onto the front straight.

I'm glad to hear nobody binned and if I wasn't in Auckland on Friday I would have been at the test day for sure.

[MOTOXXX]

a good day all round i thought.

and i got my first Knee down. woooot :yes:

[Two Smoker]

a good day all round i thought.

[MOTOXXX]

[mikey]

[loosebruce]

Rode down to taupo last night in some shitte rain, so stayed the night with my cousins and made the last jaunt in the morning which wasn't to bad, weather was looking good, track was still damp on arriavl but by the time we got out it had pretty much dryed up.
First session was good, having really only had the bike for a few days and not being able to "get to know her" cause of the crap weather the first sess was mainly learning curve, Mark told me i got into 1.20's first out so was pretty happy knowing more was too come later as i got more comfy on it.
Tell you one thing holding a K3 pinned is the shiz alright, outta the sweeper on cue and had 250kph indicated down the front straight, she aint no TL thats for sure.
Second session was real cool, had me and Hayden formation flying up front on the K3's, learned a little more but dont think i went much quicker, was a bit of a bummer having road tyres still, decided to run powers for the trip down instead of racetecs just in case the track was wet, and plus the trip down wasn't racetec weather, but the powers gave up after 6 or so hard laps and started sliding, there wasn't a lot of grip out there to begin with and quite a few of my lines in corners were stuffed up by the drifters, turn one was had no grip all day so you basiclly coasted through it, the right in the esses had a nice patch of mud that you'd hit at full lean, so you had to run wide, and in the last sess higgins had a nice line of kitty litter all over the apex and covering about a metre and a half from that, which meant running wide and straight into a pothole, even wider then, so i gave up trying to go fast and started dicking around pulling wheelies, and a litre bike pulls fucken wheelies alright, well a GSXR does, dont know about the other crap on the market.................

But yes GSXR's ruled the track on the day, was good to catch up with the likes of Jimbo600, Hayden, Slipstream, Flame (good to meet ya), Garry, Mark, Mikey, Sparky Bills, MotoXXX list goes on you know who you are, till next time :Punk:

[Marknz]

Hayden and the Loose one both doing 78s in their last session, but Loosies rear was well fooked and he was leaving rubber through the kink coming onto the main straight... good to watch and know he wasn't gonna leave wondering what could have been.

Good day up at the track and jealous as f#$k that I didn't have the bike with me. Good on ya all for keeping it sticky side down and providing some entertainment, and pleased to meet all those who I met for the first time.

[White trash]

Slingshot Good vids bro, but rename "Hayden" to Loosebruce. Looks like everyone was having fun and shaking their thang.

See you boys (and Flame) at the next one.

Incidently, anyone know how fast Flame was? She was the GIRL on the 600 kicking half the fields arse......*snigger*

[Sparky Bills]

Was a good day,
I found myself sliding a bit too much so slowed down and just played round doing wheelies and basically being a tosser. Just having fun. :Punk:
Still had fun.
Tried a drag down the back straight with LooseB, but he pulled away like I wasnt moving!! :mad:
Whats up with dat!!?
Oh Well, Him, Jimbo and Hayden were flying!!

[Sparky Bills]

Oh and i got 205km's on the back wheel! :devil2:
and 248km was my top speed.
Not too bad for an old Yamy, aye? :wait:

[White trash]

Where's the wheelie vids?

[Paul in NZ]

Note to self.

Never ever, EVER take the old Guzzi to one of these days...

[Slingshot]

Where's the wheelie vids?


I didn't hang around long enough to see the sheenanagins.

And I'll rename that file tonight, damb the Suzuki GSXR1K for being so common:motu:

[White trash]

damb the Suzuki GSXR1K for being so common:motu:

Like arseholes mate, everybody's got one.

I chose to customise mine a little with some shonky paint work on the side of the fairing. Just rub the fairings on the road a little and the paint falls right off.

Mine's also normally the one out in front, pissing off into the distance while Honda/Yamahahaha/Kumandsukme riders wobble in its wake.

[GSVR]

A Kiwi Biker guy called Shawn was there wanting to get some pictures but the people running the show weren't letting anyone into the infield.

After watching one of the drifter events I can sort of understand why with cars "drifting" off the track at an incredible rate.

[Marknz]

Slingshot Good vids bro, but rename "Hayden" to Loosebruce. Looks like everyone was having fun and shaking their thang.

See you boys (and Flame) at the next one.

Incidently, anyone know how fast Flame was? She was the GIRL on the 600 kicking half the fields arse......*snigger*

Contrary to what I told her in the pits at lunch time ( I fooked up ), Flame was doing 1.30s pretty consistently in her last session.

[Slipstream]

Where's the wheelie vids?

On the way sunshine :cool: Just waiting for the upload to finish ...

Got some of both GSXR's on the back wheel, the R1 on the front straight .... and some random biker who is unnamed so far ....

[Slingshot]

OK...Here are a couple more vids:



Turns out that I didn't get any of Hayden, so I won't rename that other clip and him and LB can share it:yes:.

[White trash]

Hey Jimbo, ummmmmm ever heard of a gearbox?

Deano, way to overtake the bird on the little six hundy.

Edit: Actually Deano, on reflection, I've inexplicably followed Flame for quite a few laps too....... :whistle:

[vifferman]

Three groups ran: Difters (who should have had their meeting yesterday), Non Drifter boy racers. And Bikes.
Quite a bit of crap on the track caused by the drifters going agricultural.
Why do they do that? Surely it would make more sense to have the drifters going last, because it sounds like they almost always leave crap on the track. Makes no sense for bikes to follow that.

[madboy]

Definitely a worthwhile trip that was. For interests sake, I was the very upright green bike being lapped in the background on the odd vid. Nice to finally get the confidence to get rid of the chicken strips on the new tyres, but no leathers yet so no danger of getting a knee down!

Thanks to Bruce for slowing down to give me a better view of his wheelie down the front straight. Even my best efforts saw only 215ish on the front straight, and I can assure you there was no front tyre economising at all through my efforts.

Now bring on the Kiwirider day in July so I can do more damage to my ego!!

[madboy]

Why do they do that? Surely it would make more sense to have the drifters going last, because it sounds like they almost always leave crap on the track. Makes no sense for bikes to follow that.I think they were putting the drifters out just after us so that there was a "sensible" car session or two before we came back on again. But didn't stop the shite on the track as LB & GH said.

Got a gp style quickshifter mate. Keep the throttle pinned and when it bangs off the limiter snick up a gear.

It's supposed to scream like that.

I was actually refering to you being in one gear (sounded like 4th) from the sweeper to well over the start/finish line.

I'm not going anywhere near a racetrack Sparky Bills is on......

:devil2:

So you finally realised that im holding back waiting for you to be on the track :whistle:

[jimbo600]

I was actually refering to you being in one gear (sounded like 4th) from the sweeper to well over the start/finish line.

It's the dopler effect man. As I'm passing you the revs appear to drop but in actual fact the revs are building so therefore it sounds like I am hanging on to one gear past the straight.

[loosebruce]

Oh and i got 205km's on the back wheel! :devil2:
and 248km was my top speed.
Not too bad for an old Yamy, aye? :wait:

The old TLS would smoke that thing of yours :Pokey:
