Its impossible to find a track day in the lower north island for someone who is beginner/intermediate and wants to increase their skills in a safe environment. All I can find is Pro-rider who seem to do Akld only. Anyone know of anything else??

MotoTT are doing a trackday in Manfield on the 15th February.

Have a look here:
http://www.motott.co.nz

They do really well organised trackdays.
The groups are:
1 = Fast riding (experienced riders)
2 = Fast to medium speed
3 = Medium speed riding
4 = Slower speed riding (novice riders)

Groups 2-4 have line riders that you can follow to improve your lines.
I found these trackdays really useful to get some confidence.

When you eventually get there the trick is not to try to go fast. brake early and concentrate on cornering and getting on throttle properly.
Its fine to go out in the slow group first them move up in later sessions.

Dont ride with any school that tells you that the speed you travel at does not affect your safety in anyway

No riding school on the planet is going to tell you that about road riding. Don't worry about Cassina, she's on the wrong side of the lunar cycle :weird:

Stuck record anyone??? Just not long ago...I did 750kph in a jet. Lucky I didn't hit anything solid right? How lucky was that? Prob because the pilot flew that fucker to the conditions.

Either that, or maybe there just wasn't another jet for you to hit within a 20 km radius.

This could easily go around in circles. As has already been stated: "Prob because the pilot flew that fucker to the conditions."

Lol. That could've been it. Now for a total change of pace...

Fuck I would've purchased these two for the GP rep if I had money.

Fuck speed limits then!
