What an epic week! Myself, Tom the Mad Westy from Waitra, and Jason McPitbitch all loaded up a camper and trailer and headed off for a week down south.

I took my Pre89 Bike
and tom took his SV

First up the Bluff Hill climb:

I did not to bad in the hill climb and was leading all day till the last run were i finished up Third, there was half a second between me and the guy who won and two tenths between me and second! (quick thank you to Drew who i called for some last min tips)

Teretonga sprint races:

I qualified well at the sprint races 2nd (in the wet) but come the first race it dried up and down there they don't separate the big bikes from the small bikes so i Got eaten up by the big bikes especially on the front straight :( its a long straight and i just couldn't keep up with the 750s and 1100cc machines. so i finished in fifth. and the second race is much the same as the first.

Wyndham street race:

Now the street race was interesting i qualified second again but led the race from the start and held every one off till lap three were it came unstuck in turn one, i went down hard in turn one and the guy in second place also crashed there with his bike slamming into the back of me!!! i shifted the big square bales a fair way and was pinned under my bike in a lot of pain, by the time they got the bike off me they kept me down and told me not to move and that the ambulance was coming. I was able to hobble in the ambulance despite them wanting me to stay still. I'm still stiff and sore now with a swollen/bruised tail bone, knee and inner thigh. (i have some on board footage of this will post up soon)

My bike come off very well with only a broken clutch so i thought bugger it ill keep racing. Restart first race and i got the lead only this time i couldn't hold it three bikes go past and i just follow them, i look back and see a large gap so just sit there to take a sore forth,

Second race and i'm still very sore but want to push more i got lead of the line again but was quickly in third place following the leaders and thats were i finish..... but as i cross the line and button off i'm taken out from behind and slam on to the road on the start finish straight by the guy in fourth total my bike smash the engine open with bits hanging out bent the forks stuffed my helmet and ripped a few holes in my leathers! i get up and run to the guy who also crashed and let rip with some language i learnt from my father in the cow shed!! but he doesn't move so i pick my bike up and push it back while the ambulance picks him up.

And just to rub salt into my wounds the gave the guy behind me third and said i finished forth!! but ill buy the dvd and then ill have proof were i fished! i think it may of had some thing to do with using motocross transponders.

Was a wicked week away and i really enjoyed watching the speed way after Teretonga (that looks like some serious fun!!)

Big thanks to......

Jason who looked after us both down there and put up with us on and off the track!

Fairs fair eh. I'm sure you kissed hers better when she had a broken arse last year.

Some good footage in there mate. Although it needs captions - close up of a hay bale, litre bikes are for the talentless etc

[kit]

Great to hear you had a good time....Shame about your off's, and broken bike :facepalm: I was the one signing you guys in at teretonga. Its a bastard racing those 1000's I too get blown away at our club meets on my little 400....but its all good fun. Great to see soo many coming down to race. Hope you all can make it again next yr :2thumbsup

[Frenchy]

Thanks guys! it was a wicked week with lots all jammed in I'd hate to think how much organizing it takes to put it together.
As for next year we'll have to wait and see how the wallet looks, and Nicki wont let me go with out her again :)

You will just have to bring Nicki and her bike down too :D Hell yea a lot of orgainising
I didn't have to do much except turn up to help, but some of the main guys and girls
take a lot of their own time off work and put in a lot of hrs behind the scenes. But it is soo worth it, to have such a great event happening down here!

[Cr1MiNaL]

Well done Frenchy, sure u'l fix the bike in no time. Your bum looks bigger now.

BTW I think you came 4th. :shutup: At least that's what Paul reckons.

Be thankful Kevin Orr put his bike down rather than ride over you....

[Tony.OK]

[Kickaha]

Haven't we sent him back to Oz yet?
.
What was he riding in Pre89?

[Grumph]

.
What was he riding in Pre89?

The FZR600 - 3 starts 3 wins - some more of you NI pre 89'ers should come down - no-one else has won a pre 89 race at wyndham yet....

So ..... This will be you ... ??? :innocent: :facepalm:

[Mental Trousers]

That's him!!

[scracha]

Looks like fun Frenchy. Endurance rate too....you won the lottery or something?

[FJRider]

You go where you look ... and #56 was looking at you ... and down HE went too. You were sliding out of his way ... I'm sure he could have made that turn ...

[Frenchy]

the guy on the 56 bike seems to like to cut up the inside and force you to brake to avoid him, this happened on a couple of occasions. but in that photo its all my own doing! i lost the front in some uneven surface.

[Frenchy]

nope i've pulled out of the streets up here I'm still quiet sore, and im doing the endurance with Gah again.

[discodan]

Sorry to hear about the damage but you sounded like you were pushing the litre bikes hard.

Bloody good excuse to get a new bike though eh?

[Mental Trousers]

I dropped off the race fairings for Frenchy's R6 last week. But from the state the bike and Frenchy are in I don't think either will be ready by Wanganui. There's lots of work to be done to it.

[FJRider]

.... but in that photo its all my own doing! i lost the front in some uneven surface.

I dont totally agree ... It looks like there may be "something" ON the road surface ...

this pic on the previous lap.

i'm not really sure to be honest it didn't feel slippery at all but there were lots of bumps, you've taken some nice photos tho!! :)

That 1st pic tells the truth Frenchy, front tucked and still lots of brakes. Those pre 89 forks no good for you mate ?? .

[DemonWolf]

Hope the body is recovering... enjoyed the video

[Deano]

Well I finally get to read about the story of your broken arse !!

Sounds like you did the North Island pround and were giving most the learn ! Bloody awesome mate.

[Clivoris]

Found this after talking to you on Saturday mate. Talk about a mixed experience!!! Still, great results.

[Rodger96]

That 1st pic tells the truth Frenchy, front tucked and still lots of brakes. Those pre 89 forks no good for you mate ?? .

Pre 89 forks?? ones he was running at Wyndham looked very 1999-2002 SV 650 too me..

[Grumph]

The class is supposed to be self regulating - the remedy is in your own hands,the Steward will have protest forms available....

[Clivoris]

Pre 89 forks?? ones he was running at Wyndham looked very 1999-2002 SV 650 too me..

I heard the really cunning bit is that he has those on so nobody notices the K5 GSXR 750 engine:eek:
