Kaitoki footage from the weekend

[richban]

Bike was going shit and the rider was knackered but still shows what a great day we had. There were lots of new faces at the track with the new riders riding for free. Lets hope they got the bug.

Thanks for that Rich looks good.

Cool footage Rich! I was reasonably happy with my lap times at the end of the day, and I wasn't sliding at all really so I think I sorted a few of my own riding problems out. I have a few questions though....

I want the same motor as Andrew! I don't know where to start to buy cams for it. Or a larger piston. Do you have contacts or a website?

Also I am going to be doing some testing on my bucket to get the handling sorted. It was really really helpful to ride a few different bikes yesterday. I realised my rear suspension likes to sag and then spring like a pogo stick while flicking it through tight esses compared to your bike Rich but especially Glen's and Andrews. Andrew's bike felt similar to glens when flicking it around but just heavier. My brakes are ok but my disc isn't completely straight so I get slight shakes, nothing too major haha. I need to adjust where my footpegs are too (one of the many things Glen gave me lots of shit for... much needed though).

Basically I have a lot of work to do still and it was really helpful riding other bikes to see what feels good and what doesn't. It's always good to get advice from you guys about my bike because I have no experience at all in setting up bikes and playing with suspension and ergonomics.

Hope to see you guys at the next bucket day

I have an oversized piston somewhere that you can have. As far as Andrew's engine spec you will have to ask him nicely to share his secrets.

We talk 2 strokes. He bought that old Kawi I raced for a while.

It seemed disgusting and funny in my fucked up brain...
I've seen some of his pics of 2 stroke stuff and it gets me excited.

Hi Rich. Great vid. Good practice for me to watch this and be ready for Kaitoke in the NI Series 2011! :) See you in Taupo.
