[all4A50s]

Are we racing on the 17th October at Kaitoke?

[fi5hy]

yes mate it is the third Sunday of the month

[F5 Dave]

Lets have a few people turn up this time huh? I'll try not be sick

[Str8 Jacket]

What is the latest time that we can get there to sign in?

[hmurphy]

Yeah I will be there. Having a few issues with the bike though. The new carb is bogging and with the new slick I have on the back (which is the softer B compound rather than the one I am used to which is the harder C compound) I am having far too many slides. I was testing at the track the other day and I can't find grip with it mid corner or exiting most corners. Will need some expert help I think. Probably with suspension too I guess.

[F5 Dave]

what pressure are you running? There is the option that the slick is toasted or too old.

[hmurphy]

The slick is next to brand spanking new! Was an awesome find. Got the front and rear for $100 and they were only a couple of laps old straight from a 125gp bike. I was having this problem last time at Kaitoke when Fish was there and Adrian. I went from 20psi down to 17psi (Fish said to give it a go) and it seemed to have remedied the problem mostly. Any slides I was having were mostly very small and at least half were because I was riding sloppy. But I don't think this slick likes to work on a cold track/at low temperatures. Frustration!!

[F5 Dave]

odd, for a kart track that should be fine if at the low end.

. . . so, why did he take them off the 125? Same problem?

9.30 after that might be pushing it

[hmurphy]

The reason was because the guy running the 125 changed sponsorship to Bridgestone so the sticky new Dunlops were all mine! Too bad I can't get it to grip. I have never had slides like this before. I usually have bugger all slides in an entire day really. I haven't been going faster lately either. Probably the other way actually from the lack of riding. I did notice my rear suspension was on the 2nd to lowest preload setting out of 4 settings. Could that be bad?

[richban]

I will be there. Last points round and its all on. Lets hope the weather is nice to us. Adlam you don't stand a chance give up now! Fish you ride like a pansy. Hamish stop making excuses. There that should do it for the smack talk.

Also are we having a 2 hour this year. Or an enduro of some description??

[hmurphy]

Lets swap bike Rich. You beat me, I buy you all the beer you can drink before you head to America. How's that for smack talking? Nah seriously, giz a go? I'll be gentle haha

Are we going to have enough B graders for separate races?

I'm hoping to bring my nephew along to ride my bike in B grade. A bit worried he might go faster than me though, in which case I guess I'll have do the B grade races

I am a B grader thinking of coming along this time, not looking too good at the moment as I just dont have a spare $50 (entry + petrol)...... Malcolm may turn up and can race in either class with his bike if necessary but will probably prefer A grade.....

I am right :innocent:

We will have A and B grades as this is a points round.

Buggar!!!!

ahh, c'mon, just another 1/2 hr, much easier than driving to Katherine Mansfield.
I'll shout you a beer after.

Not worried about getting up, we'll be up. Don't have the $$ and my POS has made my mind up for me by totally seizing the rear wheel. Will be the brake stuck on or seals that need replacing from living in the rain. I just really cant be fucked with it right now, esp when I can use the VFR....

[F5 Dave]

well turn up to point & laugh, I still might buy you a beer,
