hmmm, seeing as I only have the fxr and I am going to be racing it at TRRS I might see if I can talk Malcolm into driving up..... Anyone able to offer a bed or floor for the night?

Just thinking about what group I should be in. The FXR is slow and I am an 'alright' rider with race experience. Slow or Intermediate??

Go in medium i recon. Just go off the back. You can always change on the day if needs be.

If you're concerned about it go out in the slow group, off the front

Yep was just FMS all day long, awesome track with just the best weather. I got a PB some 6 sec's faster than last year's lap time.
I think it was the pit crew and the very helpful words from Sketchy that made the big improvements, thanks guys and girls.

Now off to find me some brakes as they are toasted and cause two off track trips, with some new stoppers I see 1m50sec laps easy as.

Great to see ya cowboyz sorry I missed ya a lunch time but I used all my gas in the morning, so need more. Funny seening you in box ans look like a perfect position to see all the action. Look forward to the vid. Talkin gof that did ya see the photo's of you?? Check it out on Moto TT site.

Hit link above go to group two, half way down I think.

Cheers Mate, mmmm 3 hr race sounds good to me, need a rider? I really like Taupo as a track, lots of fun. Realy need to sort those brakes out so I can brake later, with better feel and stopping power.

Hey Goblin

I thought I saw you from a distance, was going over to see if it was when some one said something to me, then when I look a again you had gone! Bugger would have been good to catch up and say hi again.
What station were you at?:corn:

Might have been me battling, but then again I tried to say away from to much traffic.:rockon:

Another awesome trackday - weather was perfect as well.

Would have been more enjoyable still if my bike didn't want to practice doing barrel rolls.

If any one has any pictures of the crash would love to see some.

bike was pretty doing impressive spiral rolls.
from what i could see you tucked the front?
do you know what actually happened.

It was an awwwwwsome day!!! First day back on track since Jan 09, so took a session to remember things & learn it on a different bike, but my oh my, what splendid fun ensued!!!

Thanks loads Suzuki for making it possible for me to do one again, & thanks to the MotoTT guys for running it, and a shout out to The Fruity One for the great pics!!!:love:

Yeah lost the front. I guess I just went into the corner a bit too hot and was too aggressive on the gas.

I was on the straight after the hairpin. We'll have to catch up next time eh. :sunny:

Mmm no not blue but hot bronze with wicked orange chain, I was offern with other SV's too so could have been one of the others. Heaps of us out that day.
One of th eblue ones had chop 1/4 off his SBK (I think) pipes which really opened up the Twin sound and look wicked too seen most of the back wheel.:yes:

Yes next one for catch up sounds good, not doing 19th as in Jaffa land for work, but might look at dec motoTT, if not ride might marshell.:gob:
