I try and avoid the place ... growing up (Figuratively speaking) down there ... was incentive enough to leave.

For those interested in going to Invergiggle for "The Burt" ...

i'd think normally closed - open when pulled.

BUT - check that it actually stops the fuel pump too when it's pulled - often the "kill switch" just cuts the ignition.
Last thing you want is the fuel pump still running with broken fuel lines.....
Struck this on a Ducati and had to cut into the main power feed to the on/off switch to cut everything.

Thanks Grumph, il check it out. The GS is nearly finished. Id rather street race the GS but I only have room for one race bike and teretonga is a great track for the FZR so FZR it is. Il take it easy in street race, just a bit of fun riding the whale!

You may be surprised, there are often more entries at the street circuit than Teretonga. A lot simply don't ride on the Saturday as on a smaller classic or postie 'tonga is a bit intimidating. I'd pick if you go again, you'll find a way to take two bikes.
