Truly epic racing. Very proud of Caleb riding. Stock FXR bigger piston and cams carb and pipe. Bigger wheels. The rest is basically standard. He did well considering he fell off. I did pathetic. Maybe next time! Pity you went down Rich. I know you put a lot of effort in to be there.

Yeah but could not have done it without yours and Scotts help. Thanks Heaps guys.

Nice one Bert! I forgot to give your gopro mounts back :facepalm: want me to post them?

Expect a tonne of photos and a video from me soon. Just uploading them now but will take me quite some time to process them.

I also have a bunch from last weekend at Mt Wellington that I forgot to post so expect those also.

Great footage of Caleb. Intimidated? No I won't be.

Thanks for for posting the F5. Just the start sequence clued me how much I was about to get hosed.

P.S. a real big thanks to the AMCC crew (that gave up their own racing time to run the event) and all those that competed; it was a great weekend.

Really cool having the number of cameras out recording this event (likely to be the most recorded motorcycling in NZ)..

I tried to upload the full HD version but the file was too large for the account type I have.

A-Grade F4 fun race from Saturday of the GP weekend. Looking back from Scott's bike.

A bit shaky, too many unbridled horses going through that back wheel...

Yeah boy! That was a fun race. Coz I won.:innocent: Makes up for chucking it away on sunday a little bit. That was when I could stay with you Scott till you brought out the new rubber and buggered off into the distance. Fun times.

Great videos , thanks heaps. I have watched them over and over, looking for where we can make improvements on the bike. Also realized I'm a bit F#*king loud :) may have to tone it down a bit to keep your videos (PG). Such a fantastic day

F##K Yeah!!

It was great racing to watch, no doubt about it, to see all these guys do a 42sec lap is just fantastic, the scene just gets better from year to year. :yes:

Yeah have watched them a couple of times. The thing I take away is riding style. I still need to get lower on the bike and keep my ass more on the seat. Lead with head. Aaron was so impressive to watch. In the tuck under breaking and very small movements on the bike. He just looked badass as well. Fastest rider on the track at the end. Very impressed. fuck yeah

[speedpro]

Dave Manuell and Avalon have provided excellent examples of this style of riding here in Auckland

Av ... head down, chin on thumb and looking around the door.

[mr bucketracer]

i just ride the way i ride because i weigh 40 odd kgs more than the average light weight rider and think getting down loads your tires up more , i ride like i'm ready to save the bike at any moment lol

[F5 Dave]

I was watching the 2nd practice on Sunday from the tower which gies you a unique view (figured I would learn more there than wobbling around the track like I was) & no one looked like Nataniel. Super smooth & fast. Then he was behind Dave for quite some time & it became apparent that there was not much in it at all for lap times. Took a new appreciation for Dave's ability. Haven't really seen him race much.

[seymour14]

Looking back from Scott's bike in the limited laps his health allowed him.

Fantastic photos, but I'm starting to get embarrassed about the cosmetics of my bikes and was just before opening this thread, about the condition of my leathers. Looking at boots yesterday, note bottom photo home made toe sliders (obsolete boots no spares)

Not surprised your 50 is a minger. :yes:

[F5 Dave]

Well if you look at the tailpiece behind my fat arse you can see a tear in the fibre-glass where Katie threw it up the road about 6 mths ago. Must get around to fixing that & touching up the paint. Actually it needs a real heavy degrease as they both are messy little pups.

The 100 is a real state. I painted it about 17 years ago but its had a chequered life with 3 engine transplants since the RS, but was most likely the first RS framed bucket. . .just it didn't make it to a track for quite some many years later. Who's got time esp with the dram,a I've had with getting it going reliably (ongoing it seems).

[seymour14]

Let's look forwards for a change.

About the 11min mark Rich! Pretty hard fall.

Yeah does look very sudden. I think I was just trying to go to fast. Feeling the pressure from Aaron and making in roads into the front guys. But I felt really good. Just to much front brake I think. Oh well there is always next year.
