speed group for KB track day.

[FROSTY]

could all those folks coming to the KB track day to ride give an indication as to which group you intend entering .Im just working out logistics.
Also If anybody wants riding instruction please Pm me

[erik]

Since I haven't been on the track before, should I select "novice" even if I might be too fast for that group? (I may not be, will have to wait and see...)

[HDTboy]

I'm not sure which group I fit into, I'm semi fastish, but I'm on a 250
And I've not been on a track yet. (Hope to change that between now and then)

[justsomeguy]

As the worlds slowest Indian - i guess I'ma gonna be in dee nana-riders slow grewp.

However if by some miracle I manage to graduate to a faster group is it possible to change that on the day??

*Starts praying for a miracle*

[FROSTY]

[N4CR]

[madboy]

I'd like to think I'm at the fast end of medium, but I don't think I'm quite at the slow end of fast yet.

[DEATH_INC.]

I'll take up the back of the slow group (if I can keep me walking stick outta the spokes)....... :dodge:
Draco's gonna try out for the med-touring group this time :niceone:

Frosty, I've selected to be in the slow group. But if you decide I should go in the novice group, let me know, it's ok by me.

Having riden with you around coro i'd say the fast group for sure. Although if you haven't been on Taupo beofre you might wanna go in the medium groupd for a session or two first, then change groups...

catchya then

Oh, we can change...sorted then. Never been to Taupo, so shall just jump in the medium.

Cheers mate :niceone:

PS: managed to pull a wheelie using the clutch today! but crashed the front down and decided I won't try again 'til I buy a thou' 'cos it's just not my talent aye.

[R6_kid]

should have the R6 up to pace by then so put me down in fast group. As mentioned may need to have play in the medium group to get used to it.

Perhaps we have some 'warmup/practice' sessions first off and a run down of the track layout?

I think the main thread says that there's gonna be a 4 lap warm-up and sighting period for everyone.

Still praying for the new track to be open to us...

Woopdeedoo:2thumbsup

[VasalineWarrior]

Do I have to go in the novice class if I havent been on the track before?

[RiderInBlack]

Start me off in slow and jump me up if I'm going too fast for that group. At the end of the day I'm probably medium, but definitely not fast based on other track days I've been on. There usually fair jump between "Fast" and "Racing" as well on other Track days. Something you might consider.

[DEATH_INC.]

No,if you're a reasonobly competent road rider then the novice group will be too slow,it's more for newbies with not to much riding time.

Yep,I'm pretty quick on the road and I went in the fast group last time,but prolly woulda been better off in the medium group,at least for a few rounds.The biggest thing with the fast/racing group is you need to be comfortable with guys passing you fairly quickly.:thud:

[White trash]

You haven't got a session fast enough.:blip:

[dss3]

You haven't got a session fast enough.:blip:

We talking sexual stamina here or what? :shake:

Hrm, you're making me wonder if I should start in the slow group as well (never been on track, but been riding nearly two years).

[justsomeguy]

I think you should be kinda ok in the slow group - to start off with.

From memory I believe the medium group were lapping Taupo in the early/mid fifties.

The fast group were doing it in the 40's.

The slow group was doing it in the late fifties to around a minute or so.


I was doing it in about 3 minutes.:spudbn:

That's a worry, I voted medium

[SPman]

Devil - if your're worried about it do a session or two with the newbies/slow group to get the feel of things and the track, then Im sure you'd be OK in the medium group after a couple of sessions. Its a confidence thing and you're quick enough on the road........so............:blip:

[Mental Trousers]

Well, the bike should be in the fast group, but as I will have had it for just under 3 weeks at the track day, I'm gonna say medium and hope I don't embarass myself.

[VasalineWarrior]

Ok frosty I chucked my name down for the novice one, but I think Id probably be better of in the slow group to start off with
