Game on! :scooter:

:yes:

And all with the sole aim of being competitive at the Tri-Series with someone/anyone on the grid, and actually competing at Cemetery Circuit rather than failing to qualify. That's 'my' goals for this year, but the TBR goals are much higher than that, and will hopefully carry on for years after this.

Don't forget, if you want to get better, then coaching is one of the best ways to achieve that.
Top performers in all other sports have coaches, can't see why this sport would be any different.
Moto Academy NZ is offering coaching services through the Vic Series and beyond.
We can't claim to be elite level coaches, but novice through improvers and next steps, we are certainly able to help.
Check out our website.

Why spend time and money to go the same as you have always gone?

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got!

nope that wasn't a clue, its Seth's bike, take a look closely you'll see he's adjusted the mirrors so he can see himself while he's out riding.

Seriously though Merv it's a credit to Seth that Kawasaki New Zealand have given him a bike to ride, it's going to be a steep learning curve having a bike with adjustable stuff on it, well more adjustable stuff than before and 600's don't bounce as well as 250's and 125's either.
Seth early in the season was all over the place but improve in leaps and bounds through the season dunno how you got in that head of his Merv,or whether it was his own doing but whatever happened something clicked.

for those who remember Seth's infamous words on the PA at Hampton Downs

"and all the coloured girls go....."

I would like to think that my persistant advice (or nagging) might have played some part. But in the end whatever anybody else says its the individual that makes the changes needed.
I saw something special (yes he is special) in Seth 2/3 yrs ago and what he showed at HD & Taupo told me i was right.
I will help him in anyway shape or form i can in the future as he will reward my time etc with results........... and more importantly he always makes sure that his sponsors/helpers are not forgotten.
Prehaps i should approach a mirror manufacture for sponsorship........:laugh:

My Deepest sympathies are with the family, friends and supporters of the riders involved.

And my thoughts are with the Club & MNZ officials and other volunteers; whom will all be feeling the effects of this event as well.

A great tribute tonight on TV3.

Such a very sad way to start the Winter Series for all of us who were there on Saturday, Marks Wife Janice, Family, friends, VMCC Members and officials, Marshalls and fellow Racers.
It sure was a tough weekend for all of us and the strength of Marks wife and family of wanting us to continue on with the Racing on Sunday as thats what Mark would have wanted was truely Inspirational.
He touched so many of our hearts with his attitude to life and what he had been through and was a true Gentleman and all round nice guy to know and to be friends with both on and off the track.
He sure gave back to society what they had given to him and he lost his life far too soon which is so hard to except.
Mark may you have many Fantastic Rides in the skies above us and #67 will live on with all of us Forever.
It was a real pleasure to have known you and the memories l have of you l will cheerish forever.
RIP My Friend, Forever in our Hearts.
Gone BUT NEVER Forgotten.
You Lived Life to the Fulliest.
Thoughts & Big Hugs to Marks truely amazing wife Janice, Family, Friends and the VMCC.
Cheers Skippy #27.

Watched tv1 tonight and must say his wife was amazing in her responce about how to tribute her husband by getting out there and doing it!!.

Also understanding that he went doing something he loved.

Indeed, her strength is amazing. Like many I will miss this Guernseymans very pleasant demeanour, even though I had little time to fully appreciate it. What seriously irks me is that all three recent fatalities( and three is three too many ) happened to genuinely nice guys.

Shoots.....reading through this thread really makes you wonder how life works....a few pages ago Mark was just here like yesterday. Now he watches over with his big hearty laugh as we ponder the moments our lives crossed paths. Mark, you were an inspiration, and someone who cared and gave a dam. Yes....always the good ones. Ride free now and RIP brave sole.xx

Shoots.....reading through this thread really makes you wonder how life works....

I've met many people over the years with many different reasons to hit the track. I've followed Marks written words of his journey through life and he has explained how life can work more than most.
There's an old saying "Make the most of life before the most of life has gone" Mark showed us how to do that, and we shared his journey.
Despite the end result those who knew and followed Mark Brehaut are all richer for that journey.
RIP mate

I would like to go down for Mark's funeral. Is anyone from HB going? I would love to grab a ride. Happy to share costs and driving. I am flexible on leaving times etc and have options for accommodation if necessary.

I have just started a thread in Meetings / Events regarding Marks Funeral and ride details also it would be a good place to leave thoughts, messages etc . if a mod could shift existing messages to there and even shift the thread if its in the wrong place. Hope to see alot of you on Friday. Ken

Nah -
There was just under 2200 images, I'm brutal when culling them out for a final set.
Out of focus ones go 1st. 1200 left
Images with bits cut off, like the riders head, or half a motorbike etc. 700 left
Delete the ones that are repeated over and over through the day. 250 left
Process, crop, rotate, sharpening, lighting.
Slideshow. Flag the ones that just don't 'look right'. 202 left.

Usual story, I was looking the other way or yakking with the marshals when it happened, just pointed the cam in that direction and held the shutter button down, didnt even get time to look thru the viewfinder.
