Puke 29th Oct

[SlowHand]

whos planning to go? Its my first time. Im keen as :apumpin: , Im guessing they have bikes and cars seperate every open day?

After a little research, I came up with
1. bike in good nic - brakes etc
2. no loose/sharp bits
3. my cordura 2piece fine
4. turn up on the day with money and a life signing pen.
5. take mirrors off and tape speedo and lights (with duct tape?)

If its not too sunny I'll wear my clear visors so everyone can pin point the moment my sphincter goes innie. :sweatdrop

[dveus]

I hope to be there.
Also planning on this friday as well.

[FROSTY]

nope I wont be there that time--Ill be there on the third--a thursday

[N4CR]

I'll be there as well... can't wait. Just can't get off work on fridays, boss is a car nut but I have to be there incase the workload picks up, we both understand why I want to go though :crybaby:

[SlowHand]

so who wants to baby sit me? Not sure how many diapers I need etc, but if u help me change my track nappies there might be a couple laps on the mighty Twin overhead Double Stroke 0.15L for u...

hey , yep bike should be in good nick!
your cordura is fine
yep turn up with cash! no eftpos there
some guys take off mirrors just so it stops you allways looking at them and not at the track ahead

what i would suggest taking is
plent of cash for fuel lunch etc,,,,
hat
drink
enjoy the day will be awesome!

[motobob]

I'll be going as the search for the old form is still going on. That Frosty called me a slow Karnttt so I need as much practise as poss. :crybaby:

[SlowHand]

dont ride around me then motobob - I may make you look like Rossi's actual stunt double!

[crashe]

Strat - if your mirrors can be turned/pushed inwards without having to take them off... then do that... it will save you the trouble of taking them off when you arrive at the track and putting them back on when its time to leave. Thats what a lot of the guys do with their mirrors.
Good luck on the track.

[SlowHand]

WOOHOO! It's in 3 days! :apumpin:

One more question though - do I have to coke bottle by overflow pipes?

[juzzer]

Nah mate, just coff up the pingers and thats it... they dont even look at the bike.... :devil2:

[Hoon]

Pays to bring something to eat and drink. Also make sure your tank is full - you'll still probably need to shoot up the road to fill up again half way through the day.

[dss3]

yeah mate, ill be there to pactice on the F3 machine and see what the yammy can do on the track for the first time, fingers crossed for some sunshine aye.

[Zed]

Will probably be coming by later in the morning to *watch* you guys for an hour or so then blast off down the infamous 22 for FREE...should be a good day for it :sunny:, hope you enjoy it heaps!

Anyone wanting to come for a ride down with me, i'll be riding into Autobahn, Papakura at 11.00am for 15mins to gas up and meet any of you that turn up, then off down to the Drury turnoff and head up Runciman Rd to the track. :ride:

Attached are some pics from this & last years trackdays I've attended. Rep points for anyone who can first-time guess who the KBer is who ran off the track in pic 5 (sucker?), and who's the owner of the race Gixxer in pic 2?? :whistle:

[SlowHand]

looks like weather might behave. I wasnt feeling to "in sync" with the bike tonight, will get some sleep and see if I go on the track tomorrow. Will still come and watch at the least.

[justsomeguy]

Dunno bout the race gixxer - ain't Nicko is it?? I thought he was no. 80


Was it MR who came off?? Or was it the bustedmedic??

[Zed]

Dunno bout the race gixxer - ain't Nicko is it?? I thought he was no. 80Nope.


Was it MR who came off?? Or was it the bustedmedic??...and nope.


Are you riding tomorrow JSG? :sunny:

Was it Motobob? He always crashes.

[Toast]

Any predictions on turnout to this thing? I went to a weekend open day once, and it was full of muppets crashing in to each other in the hairpin. Not too keen on going if it's gonna be like that.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Race Gixxer Andrew Stroud

Dunno about the muppet (er... skilled but unlucky rider...) in the gravel...

[FROSTY]

FFs people--No1 -looks like ray clees bike and the runner off the track--suptle hint here-- its a kermet green bike

[Posh Tourer :P]

Err. the bike in the gravel isnt kermit green.... It looks like a GSXR with a white tank again....

Its off to the left of the kermit green one....

[Zed]

Race Gixxer Andrew StroudCorrect. See Stroudy standing to the left in casual wear admiring his Suzuki NZ owned machine.

[Zed]

Was it Motobob? He always crashes.Lol, no it wasn't Motobob that time. It was another regular at Puke track days...hint hint

[Posh Tourer :P]

yep. He reckoned 57.6s on a full race machine, and 58.9s on a street GSXR round Puke IIRC.... Not much difference is there?? Makes you wonder why people bother to mod GSXRs if they are that good already.....

[Zed]

[NhuanH]

is the run off Gixxer the Monkey of Drunkeness?

[justsomeguy]

Are you riding tomorrow JSG? :sunny:

Sorry M,

Have fairings that need sanding, oil leaks that need plugging and tyres that need replacing.....

:sweatdrop maybe next Sat :niceone:

Have you done the Coro loop yet??

How's next Sat for another loop ride??

[Zed]

is the run off Gixxer the Monkey of Drunkeness?Yep!

That straight coming down to the hairpin is scarey at times eh Al! :eek5:


Which non-Aucklander can name the KBer in the attached KB track day pic from last year. Dead easy if you've met him, so please no Aucklanders answer this.

And for more green bling who can name 3 KBers in the pic of the sad SP1?

[Zed]

Sorry M,

Have fairings that need sanding, oil leaks that need plugging and tyres that need replacing.....You can call me Matthew if you want JSG.

Get that bike painted soon dude, looks pretty sad at the mo! Glad you're enjoying it though.


:sweatdrop maybe next Sat :niceone:

Have you done the Coro loop yet??

How's next Sat for another loop ride??Yeah did the Loop 2 weeks ago with Viff, Blackbird, Bykey Cop, and Mac from the UK. Choice road, up there with the best for sure, such a variety of straights & twisties throughout!

Not sure at this stage about what next Saturday will bring...this weekend's riding hasn't even started yet! :niceone:

[justsomeguy]

You can call me Matthew if you want JSG.



Well - with this being such a public place and all.....


Get that bike painted soon dude, looks pretty sad at the mo! Glad you're enjoying it though.


It needs a bit o work - but it handles a heck of a lot better than the old ZZR.

Oh well..... next time then. Once my bike gets sorted and I get a bit more used to it I'll be planning a night ride down Firefights driveway. Hope to see you on that.

:niceone:

[_Gina_]

Is it Spank Me in the left picture?I do live outside of Auckland......

[Zed]

Is it Spank Me in the left picture?I do live outside of Auckland......That's correct! How did you guess? :mellow:

[_Gina_]

Heard all the smart comments about his "baldness"!!

[SlowHand]

Got back - pretty spent. little Argy was getting pounded all day. Got lapped by everyone at LEAST once. Shit you guys can ride! :not:

[motobob]

Anyone heard how Daryl (dss3) is? That was a nasty crash he had.

Pretty good day out there today. Quite a variety of machines and even a sidecar to make things interesting. There was only 3 sessions today which is a pity. Really need to have bike only track days.

Anyone heard how Daryl (dss3) is? That was a nasty crash he had.Oh no! I just read about Daryl's bin?? He was one of the last guys I said goodbye to down in the pits when we shot off and rode down SH22. I really hope he isn't too badly injured!

Really need to have bike only track days.Yeah you guys were getting round with some good pace, pity you only got 3 sessions in but there were quite a few cars down there today.

Good to see you again Motobob, SpankMe, BlkYoshi, Hoon, et al.

Attached are some pics I took about midday today at the track. Daryl's the guy in the pic with his shirt off sitting in the back of his ute with his 400 and R1 in front of him and Motobob & Stifarms are standing to his left...really sucks he binned so bad - get well soon man. :doctor:

[justsomeguy]

Who is that standing next to Darry in pic one??

Is his name Shane or something??

And is that red R1 belong to a tall skinny guy - the chap who does 1.04's all day or something??

[Zed]

Some action shots of Dss3, SpankMe, Hoon, and BlackYoshi...

[Zed]

Who is that standing next to Darry in pic one??

Is his name Shane or something??I said in my post who they were.


And is that red R1 belong to a tall skinny guy - the chap who does 1.04's all day or something??His name is Murray and I don't think he's that quick. Apparently he is getting the 06 R1 when it's released. :cool:

[Quasievil]

Just spoke to Dss3 (daryl) hes a sore chap to say the least but he is ok, battered and bruised and a few broken bones possibly, results of scan not yet through.

[dss3]

Not too sure who he is but I was bloody stoked to pass him hehe, he was probably cruising and taking the piss or something but.

[SlowHand]

And in action shot number 3 we have yours truly about to be lapped by the billionth time by everyone BUT the reincarnate of Burt Munroe

[dss3]

Hi strat, didn't realise that bike was you or would have said g'day, perhaps if I had have hung around for the last sessions aye? haha!

Catch ya next time.

Daryl

[SlowHand]

You prolly dont remember but I was hovering around the scene to see you go off to get checked up. Sorry to be such an active chicane. :sweatdrop

I woulda been too scared to talk to you racers anywho :not:
