Cause Manfeild ain't in Auckland ? :rofl:

I think it is another open day for cars (including drifters ) and bikes. Just gotta watch out for the dirt sods the drifters leave on the track. :motu:

Not that lucky - it doesn't have as good a surface as Puke, but a few more corners.

Ruapuna is my favourite mmmmmmmmmm. :woohoo:

Seems everyone had a pretty good day except for Mikey but I'm sure he will wanna tell the tale himself.

Was impressed with how fast the 250 motard from Wellington was. Its only failing was only just getting slightly over 160kph tapped out halfway down the straights.

Great day there guys. Shame to see so few bikes out but it made for a clear track. Massive thanks to Jimbo for the hoon on the six hundy. Pleased to see I could still foot it with Glen Williams on his new 999 for a few laps. 'Till I decided to show the crowd how to do a wheelie or three.

Tell ya what, it's a bloody long drive home to Auckland from there though.

Here's a couple of pics....
pic 1 - Jimbo, Deano and Glen Williams
pic 2 - Sparky Bills
pic 3 - Glen Williams - I've finally taken a half decent shot that has good definition - thanks to Jimbo for the advice you gave me when we were all pissed - I managed to remember some of what you said to get good lighting levels, but I've still got a way to go. Practice, practice, practice. Maybe if you guys didn't go so bloody fast round the track my pictures would look better!!! Or perhaps I should finally get round to reading the manual that came with my camera!!!

Is Jimbo out for a casual Sunday ride or what ? He is too busy oggling at the photographer I think.

Another job if I keep going the way I am.

Got to change those tyres too. Man I had a huge slide coming out of the sweeper onto the start finish straight. It was the exact same feeling I got when I binned the 750 only this time there were no banks to hit so I managed to save it. Checked my gruts when I got home and yep there was evidence of guano.
