Kiwi Biker Track day 2 18/12/05 Taupo

[FROSTY]

The Great KB Track Day.
SUNDAY 18TH December 8.30-4.30
TAUPO RACEWAY, TAUPO

For all KB members to come and have a ball and improve their riding in a safe fun environment. 4 speed/experience levels from novice to racers. 4 SEPERATE groups.

Numbers will be strictly limited to 70 people to ensure a safe environment.

There will be 2 pillion sessions during the day so you can give your partner a taste of track time. The pace will be slow/med. Watch for baby bikie waving to ya. I’m hoping/planning on having some experienced KBers to act as instructors/mechanical tutors during the day. Lunch will be provided (subway) as part of the entry and hot tea/coffee and cold drinks will be available all day. A ambulance WILL be in attendance and there will be marshals in RT contact around the track.

I'll be out there with you watching all the fun and offering what help I can. We have loos and power and running water. Payment of a $20 non refundable deposit secures you a place. Numbers will be strictly limited on a first come first served basis. All the details are in the 3 posts following.

If anyone wants to be a marshal for the day please contact me. You will get a free lunch and 2 free track sessions. You will have the best views of the track. I will rotate the marshals this time so you wont be in the same spot all day
THANKS FOLKS FOR THE MANY OFFERS TO MARSHAL --iM FULL UP NOW

Anyone wanting to organise maybe a BBQ for afterwards feel free to pm/call/email me

SO COME ON GUYS N GALS LETS ALL BE THERE AND MAKE IT A FUN DAY

Camellia court is the place I've negotiated with
They are in Tonga st taupo which is just off spa road -The road to the track The place is really nice and the people are both bikers.
I Have prebooked 4 motel units -2 have been taken by other KBers
The deal is a warm bed for the night,hot showers and tea/coffee/cooking facilities supplied - as well as the civilised way to do things methinks.
also I've booked one cabin for 4 people
Cabins -you supply your own bedding no cooking facilities and the loos are across the yard -4 per cabin
Im getting a special rate of $40 per person per night in the motel units and
$20 per person per night in the cabin.
If you want a bed pay/contact me Ill keep a log of names who have booked/paid for beds.

Ok as at Today 6.11.05 This it how it stacks up.
Large motel unit.-5 beds
MTrousers
Macd
Maddduck
Speedmedic

Small unit -full

Cabin --
Ranzor
Eric
slashwylde
Strat



Cabins -you supply bedding $20 per person per nite -4 per cabin

PH-073784346
If you want your own private unit call the place yourself but tell them you are booking an extra room under my name that way you get the discount rate

Folks a question was raised about this price structure.
This price is indeed a special price for us.
Keeping in mind we are booking in during PEAK times which are usually a lot more expensive than off peak.

[FROSTY]

ALL ATTENDING TRACK DAY PLEASE READ

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im sorry to sound like a right mr Hitler here but please read through this carefully.
I want one and all to have a bloody good time so there are some points that are NON negotiable.
1) Bike setup/gear setup.
ANY BIKE going on the track will be scrutineered.
basicly bike needs to be able to pass a WOF but below are some specifics.
No sharp/edges/loose parts
Tyres must be road legal for road bikes.
ball ends on all levers to be in place.
.Mirrors removed or taped up.
No leaking fluids.
headlights will be checked and GLASS headlights to be taped up.
Pack rack uppers to be removed -L arms to be taped over-preferably plugged.
No open tube ends on handlebars.
Brakes to work prpperly front and rear.
Its preferable to have you tape over your speeedo. .
Riding gear-A full face helmet good fitting with no damage into the shell.
WE HAVE COVERED THE HELMET THING OFF BEFORE--SCRATCHES ARE OK DAMAGE TO THE HELMET STRUCTURE ARENT--IF IN DOUBT SHOW A MORE EXPERIENCED kbER
gloves,bike boots,cudura 2 piece,leather one piece or two piece.
Pillions will have a gear check on the line before going out. Please note pillions also need to sighn in
THE ONUS IS ON YOU TO MAKE SURE YOUR BIKE/GEAR IS UP TO SCRATCH
-Blown fork seals (oil not running down the fork leg) ,worn swing arm bearings and similar may not stop you getting on the track -BUT as a couple of members have discovered it really mucks up your handling and spoils your enjoyment of the day.Its a great excuse to get those niggly little issues sorted.
-2 Rules for the day
1 Show concideration for everybody else out there
2 Stick to your line -Dont try to get out of anybodys way or deliberately block.
3 when overtaking make sure you can do so safely.If in doubt -DON'T
4 should the front or back wheel come off the ground by "accident" make sure noones around you when you're doing it.
5 slow group riders are only to pass on the back straight before the braking cones
6 Touring group riders -no passing between hairpin and the right hander.-cones will be out to mark these points.
7 Fast group ref rule 3 also first session overtaking on the outside except on the straight --for first session.
8 if you see a flag waving anywhere on the track pull into the pits straight away -the clock will be stopped on your session so ya aint gonna miss out on laps. ANYONE trying to sneak an extra lap will miss out on the rest of that session.
9 If a slower rider is holding you up either rule 3 or ride slowly through the pits and let em get ahead. -again--it aint a race.
10 when leaving the track hold your left hand up to let other riders know.
11 if you are unlucky enough to run off the track raise your hand in the air to let us know you're ok.
12)dont look back
13) if you are unfortunate enough to crash (it wont happen but just in case)
Your bike and gear needs to be rescrutineered before you can go back on the track.
14--HAVE FUN-- LOTS N LOTS OF FUN

If you disobey these rules for first offence you may miss your next session and be a flag marshal at lunch time.
Second offence and potentially thats ya day finished.

Blatantly dangerous riding or riding under the influence of Alchohol or non medicinal drugs will not be allowed. Zero tolerance.You will be sitting out the rest of the day.
Again guys N gals I really want one and all to have a good time so these rules are to protect us all.

Photographers/spectators.-nobody will be trackside unless cleared by marshalls and they MUST wear a fluro vest (except during the braking session) and there will be some areas that are out of bounds -this is strictly in the interest of safety

[FROSTY]

TRACK DAY TRANSPORT--TO AND FROM
AUCKLAND RIDERS--CONTACT death inc ASAP

[FROSTY]

marshalling at a KB trackday is a simplified version of the "real thing" at a race meeting
marshalling--very very simple--
1)do NOT ever put yourself in danger--ya can't help other people if you are hurt.So STAY PUT
2)if you see someone crash you call on the RT --Rider Down Rider down then wave your flag from your marshall point.there will only be one flag
3)Only once the track is clear do you even think of going out to help the downed rider. At this point your discression is needed--if he's still laying there dont try to help him-call for the amulance---hes on the RT link listening in.
If the bikes pumping oil etc --get it off the track by the quickest route
Really easy innit

[dss3]

Anyone riding down on the Saturday? I was looking at heading down there after lunch.

[SlowHand]

now, was I on drugs or did a whole lot of these posts disappear and then appear again?

SpankMe - Im riding down on sat. Im a slowmo as you saw me at Puke (I think it was you in the KB shirt and silver SV), so might or might not tag along depending on your planned riding speed. ( if you are planning a group ride)

[Quasievil]

Just booked and paid for me and Gixxerboy so that makes the total 6 places left I guess

[SpankMe]

I've booked my own room because I'm just a snob.

I will be heading down around that time. Wouldn't mind joining you and making a pack. Which way you going? Via Te Kuiti, straight down SH1 or via Matamata?

[MacD]

ok, I've just booked myself into the Camellia Court for the 17^th & 18^th.

Anyone riding down on the Saturday? I was looking at heading down there after lunch.

Yep, I was planning on heading down Saturday afternoon too.

I was thinking about taking the route from Ngaruawhahia to Pirongia, then between Te Awamutu/Kihikihi and Whakamaru that Quasi used on the National Park trip, and then cutting across to Taupo.

Are you riding the GB down?

[White trash]

[SPman]

Well - they're so good, we just tend to..throw them around a bit more than others....:chase:

[HDTboy]

[bugjuice]

[SPman]

Hey - where'd my name go off the list? - I paid. :crybaby:

[curious george]

I see you on the Marshall list.....
How keen are people to be videoed? I was thinking of the wheelie session, me in the back of a van/ute to the side of the bikes, (maybee on teh grass?)?
I haven't got a remote camera (yet), so no on bike action.
Frosty, do you think something like this would be OK? Or not, depending on safety/whether/mood on the day?

[White trash]

George in a very short word NO
Filmings fine but there aint any way in heck Im having a van on the same track as two wobbly bikes on one wheel -sorry mate
BUT--Im real keen on photos/filming of the "parade" lap
I really want the ol group shot thing.

[curious george]

NO

Thought you might say that. I have a plan though.......
ANybody here got a hot air balloon?

[transformerboy]

hey there im heading up 2 taupo with mates "velox and vasaline warrior "that have signd up and i know uv got no spaces left, but maybe could i do say a half day in the afternoon tack slows down a fair bit after lunch... would be a pity not to get a couple of laps in.

thanx mate.

[FROSTY]

Sorry dude -very unlikely there will be room even after lunch.
As people head home early Ill most likely combine groups down to 3 sessions so there will be more track time for the 60 odd people that put their money where their mouths are.

[pyrocam]

is this the track?

[MSTRS]

is this the track?
That's the old track. New track uses this and extends waaaay out to the right as you look at your diagram.

[FROSTY]

sorry messrs --you are right but wrong -
There are GOING to be 4 tracks
1) old track--as per picture
2) new track -about the same ish size as old track -sitting to the right of old track -TOTALLY seperate.
3) drag strip --uses the back straight of the old track then the join between the two tracks then finishing on the new tracks "Back" straight
4) full "gp" size track--making use of the old and the new track--im not sure of the configuration -it might have a pukie sized straight or it might have a right hander 100 (ish) m furthur down the back straight. Either way It will definitely join back onto the old track at the hairpin -but it wont be a hairpin itll be a simple left hand uphill corner

Its going to use the dragstrip to join on....and join on again at the hairpin or just before...

Anyone want to split a motel room?

[M1CRO]

Anyone want to split a motel room?

Was going to stay with Friends in Turangi, but I dont mind "splitting" DM.. Not too sure what that means, but I will try anything once :whistle:

Just kidding... (maybe) lol

[Drunken Monkey]

Hmmm, it means splitting the motel room down the middle with a big white line that says "keep to your own side - no gay stuff allowed".
Still up for it, or are you less keen now that you know you won't get to use that big black rubber cock on anyone but yourself?
;)

Or how about...

Do you believe in Love at first sight? Or should I walk past again! lol

[pyrocam]

I need to split one if theres no more beds available. still havent heard back from frosty on that one

[Drunken Monkey]

I need to split one if theres no more beds available. still havent heard back from frosty on that one

There are still rooms, at least I was just able to book one. You could always do what MadDuck did last time and crash on a couch in someone else's room.

[FROSTY]

I have a large unit available--There are 4 beds already taken in it -so only one available

[pyrocam]

I have a large unit available--as I understand it Madduck has one bed reserved. Otherwise there are 4 beds available -3 rooms
cripes. ok. ill take a bed. see you on thurs with some more moolah

[FROSTY]

ok you lot --Im pretty well right for marshalls now.
AJ doesn't know it yet but he's now head marshal :Punk: :Punk:

Im talking with Cam at the moment to see if he will be available to offer riding tips and advice to the novice group.
Doogal will be happy to follow you round showing cornering etc and offer tips on suspension setup
There will be a coin donation raffle on the day with a couple of pretty cool prizes -all procedes of the raffle go to Spank me to help run this site.

[DEATH_INC.]

I see you on the Marshall list.....
How keen are people to be videoed? I was thinking of the wheelie session, me in the back of a van/ute to the side of the bikes, (maybee on teh grass?)?
I haven't got a remote camera (yet), so no on bike action.
Frosty, do you think something like this would be OK? Or not, depending on safety/whether/mood on the day?
I'd be keen to do it,I'm sure its no more dangerous than dodging south aucklanders on my private motorway/wheelie strip.

[Test Pilot]

Hey FROSTY iv deposited another $10 direct, can you confirm both my deposits so i know you got them cheers

[The Tazman]

Hi boys and girls
Here is a link to the new track layout for anyone that has not seen it.
http://www.tauporacetrack.co.nz/development_introduction.htmHow long is that straight?! Comparing it to the drag strip, it looks like 800 or so metres... :-)

[FROSTY]

Anybody else looking for accomodation plrease call Camellia court asap
They are filling up fast for saturday night
I have held 1 more unit -unit24 which I think will do 4 people

[poorbastard]

Hey Frosty how much more do I owe. Ive paid the 20 depost. I'll put it through and get it out of the way.

[FROSTY]

On sunday I met with the track manager down at Taupo track
There is total confusion --long story short --prices HAVE gone up but we still only have the old track.

[FROSTY]

MR pooos ---You get 1 x footlong sub
I will be having the ordering open till 10am so if ya want another one -or two or threee--all good.

Just a point too----Dehydration is a definite risk cos it should be pretty hot.
Basicly I know if I dont hafta take a pee before every race Im getting dehydrated. remember to drink heaps --it has a huge impact on your concentration

Taz i dunno who or what the international meet is but I was there on sunday and unless theres a mirical there is NO WAY the tracks gonna be finished by then.
and as for price raising--the shamozzle is --I booked with taupo car club --who sold the track -The new owner put the price up.
Mate its caused me a bit of stress too
I think they are focussing on A-not disrupting the existing track--Yea right--fuck up my favorite corner would they
2) getting the drag strip finished

People will always be cocks - nothing's gonna change that.

Don't stress out mate - you've done a bloody awesome job organising all this for us and making sure this herd/flock/group of cats keeps headed in an organised fashion.


:rockon:

[Quasievil]

If anyone doesnt already know you really got to have a back protector when you go on the track so gear up, oh and good gloves Oh and leathers to........................................ sheesh just trying to help out :blip:

[dveus]

As much as Quasi is trying to push his gear, He is very right about having good gear. Last weekend I was hit in the back by my own bike im still bruised but without a back protecter things could have been much worse.

[trumpy]

The international event on Jan 2nd is a drag meet (as in CARS before anyone gets smart!) so the focus is on getting the strip ready first.
Frosty, having been on the track management committee in the past I would suggest that you should have Grumpy confirm your booking arrangements in writing. Just a suggestion from past experience.

[FROSTY]

Thanks trumpy--Your advise along with chris's advice heard loud and clear.
As I recall the conversation"Yea mate youll be on the new track probably so the price might go up .nahh mate if you're on the old track the price will be the same."
Ahh well such is life.

[The Tazman]

Hi guys and girls

I just wanted to make sure people including our main man Frosty did not think I was having a go at him. I have the utmost respect for frosty and all the organising he does, especially this one as it is obviously causing him some grief.

I just get pissed off with people that don't live up to what they say or honour things in place if you get what I mean.

As for the international thing yes I did know it was a Drag sesh but you would think as an international thing they would have the whole place done to show the world what they have!!!! I am not going to go any further with that as it open up whole new can of worms.

I hope you are all well and happy

Thank you Frosty for all your hard work and patience

Taz :D

[trumpy]

How long is that straight?! Comparing it to the drag strip, it looks like 800 or so metres... :-)
According to my trip meter as near as dammit to 900 metres long.

Taz :D

Understand your frustration Tazman and I would fully agree with you. Unfortunately this was never going to happen within the the timeframe available. Despite any belief he may have to the contrary, Grumpy is NOT the official spokesperson for the developers/owners.

[Unit]

Would love to join in and need the experience, but will have to wait till next event. Taupo sounds like a happening track, cant wait to have the pleasure. Looks like everything is getting well organised to. Good on everyone who volunteers their help, makes for a great event:yes:

[2_SL0]

Am I supose to order my lunch, yes Im thinking of food. :blink:

[SlowHand]

You can get lunch ya self if your still hungry - take your cage - it mite rain. Print off all the fine advise on the survival thread if you want to ride down.

Failing that, you need some wets - 120ish width to cut through the surface water. No you cant have mine.

[FROSTY]

some folk due to a variety of reasons have been forced to pull out of the KB track day on December 18
short version
5 places have come available
The deal is the same as normal First come first served and $65 each

[curious george]

Count me in for an extra Frosty. I'll sort you tomorrow

[N4CR]

So if we have paid a $20 deposit then we pay the rest (full $65) and have a place assured >:D?

If that's the case then I'm in.

[Coyote]

Can't make it :weep:

[FROSTY]

no mate its 65 up front or 20 deppy--that holds ya a place and then ya pay the balance of 60--yea its cheaper to pay in full up front.

[Velox]

Transformerboy would be keen - I'll pm him to alert him to this thread. He's going to be coming up anyway and was too late to get a place the first time around (only joined KB a little while ago).

[Zapf]

Please confirm my place plz... have deposited $65 into your account :)

and I have been going at a lethal speeds before you were on a bike... :bash: try toping 250k's in a cage...

I just so think there is some enjoyment to be have with the 900 and those corners. :D

[speights_bud]

I WANT IN! have made full $65 payment, should be a great day out, thanks frosty!

[FROSTY]

[sAsLEX]

KG--think end of weekend traffic and lotsa black n whites

Exactly too much traffic for them to implement a chase :yes:

[SlowHand]

Here's how its 4hrs KG - somewhere in the ride, I'll ride between two cats eyes. Then my space savers will be jammed between the two. So I wont be getting out. everyone else would have been infront, so I'd have to wait for you - you know, with your boik being broken, thats an hours wait, and I ride home again, trying to make up lost time.

But if anyone can pillion me on a push bike and make it to auckland in 4 hours, I'd take that. Im too fat and lazy.

[FROSTY]

NO MORE ROOM ON TRACK DAY.

[FROSTY]

jUST A REMINDER TO THOSE WHO HAVE PAID $20 DEPOSIT.
If you want the $65 price you need the money to be in the trackday account no later than this friday.Otherwise its $80.00
Thos that paid the $60 will only need to pay the unfortunate extra $5.00 on the day.
Also anybody whose name is NOT on the list but paid 3 weeks ago or more please contact me with payment details so I can check the KB account to see if I missed you.

Offer of secure bike storage and workshop facilities still open to all. Though my factory is in Taupo I have an Auckland office as well and am there every week (usually thursdays and fridays) to catch up with my staff. I usually take my van up (L400 high roof 7 seater 4wd with moveable seats) so if anything/anyone needs transporting/towing down for the weekend just let me know.

Thanks for that JSG. Went to the thread to see some meaningful advice or something related to the day. You just wasted 0.12 seconds of my life

[MadDuck]

FOR GODNESS SAKES we know you are going ...just like I am going....just like half the site is going! I know lets have a poll on how good Ice Cream is....FOR I AM ABOUT TO SCREAM at the nonsense posts on KB

[FROSTY]

I take it you're coming then madduck :yes: :yes:

[pyrocam]

Im really keen for my first trackday, and honestly (shamefully) a little over-excited. I dont need to post that with enthusiam though.

But, I AM intrested in the organisation though. As this is an event that might be quite exciting for some of us, and its a week away. perhaps a new thread started by someone who has been at the track a bit to start a thread about 'good idea's' for preparation for a trackday.

for example.

# make sure you know how to remove your mirrors without looking like a jackarse.

I dont know if thats something I should look into? I'm a track newbie.

[Racey Rider]

You know how it is when you go to a event like this, and when it's all over, you realize, You didn't actually meet half the people you wanted too.

I thought for those that wanted a way to meet a few extra KB'ers, they could print off a list of all attending from post #2. Then through the day they can tick off the names that they have meet.

If you wanted to get crazy, we could have some prize for anyone who had everybodys signture at the end of the day. But that might be a bit over the top!
Just a thought to help everyone mix it up a bit. :rockon:

[FROSTY]

Aww that would be an unfair comp--pillion would have won that at about 10 am (given all riders/marshalls have to sighn in)
Good point though.
I had the idea of having name tags for everyone but I thought that would be a bit naff
Im hoping that with half an hour between sessions that ther'll be plenty of time to mix n mingle.
Lunch break will be another half Hour of yakkin too.

[yungatart]

I'll still be there Frosty but will be unable to do the kiddy minding thing. I broke my left foot and wrenched my right knee last week and am now reduced to doing a painfully slow hobble- and no I didn't bin my bike-I fell off a step all of 1" high (25mm to our younger folk). to add insult to injury I was stone cold sober!

[jimbo600]

Well if you see a man on a gsxr600 wringing the neck off it trying to stay with a skinny white man that'll be me following ol' trashy.

[Keystone19]

perhaps a new thread started by someone who has been at the track a bit to start a thread about 'good idea's' for preparation for a trackday.



Ok, well I don't know about pre-race prep but I did read this in a recent Superbike magazine and thought it had some good tips in it.

"When you start overtaking people on track then you're not just dealing with yourself, you have other people's safety to consider so the most important thing to do is use lots of common sense. At the trackday briefing you'll be told to do all of your overtaking down the straights, and this is where getting past someone is easiest. Never slipstream someone, but use your skill and knowledge of a circuit to start the overtaking procedure on the exit of a corner and then get cleanly past down a straight. If you're on a 600 and matey boy is on his new GSX-R1000 then this could be a bit tricky, so if you are coming up on people going into a turn and can't get past them then you've got two options. The first is to follow him (or her) for a couple of laps and see where they brake so you're looking and learning at opportunities. Then, when the time comes you need to be 100 percent sure that you will get past cleanly and make your move. The second option, and by far the easiest and safest choice is to just shut off and find some clean space. It's no fun being stuck up someone's chuff for a session so just back off and then concentrate on your own riding."

In my somewhat limited experience on the track, the scariest moments can be when being overtaken, particularly if it is your first time. So, when you guys and gals are going to be overtaking - think about it. Think about the person you are going past. And if you are the one being overtaken, hold your line, and I guess what I do because I am often overtaken, is always assume that I will be overtaken out of a corner, that way I don't get taken by surprise.

That's good advice. I normally follow a slower rider for a bit until I can sort out a safe place to pass. There aint no prize money so it aint worth being a wanker about passing. Unless of course WT is in front then its all on.

[FROSTY]

Keystone--all looks good advise--itll be covered off in riders brief
2 rules---stick to ya line/dont look back
The onus is strictly on the overtaking rider to complete the manouver safely

The track will be watched by AJ -all the marshalls and me/doogal--if we see dumb stuff we'll be "talking" to the people concerned

My right fork seal has started weeping (albeit incredibly slowly) and I dont have the $$ to fix it.

Heh it is just a small one. The earlier comments about them mean i'm not too worried. You cant actually see it, i could just feel a little residue on the fork after a ride so its pretty minor. Just an irritation!

Would anyone care to explain the best methods to tie a single motorbike to a trailer? (ie. compressing the suspension a bit before tying it down).

Throw a steering damper on, lift the forks up through the triple clamps and bump the preload, damping and rebound. Make that biotch turn and it'll be good.

[FROSTY]

Ohh FFS swannie--You ride my bike then and Ill ride the ol bearch

[ajturbo]

Would anyone care to explain the best methods to tie a single motorbike to a trailer? (ie. compressing the suspension a bit before tying it down).

there is one method used by some...... that aren't teribly bright...

just chuck it in the back of a ute... on it's side.... sure it'll slide a round a bit, but who cares???.....

the dickheads stole a duc and use the ute as a getaway... (from nelson... need i say more?:killingme )

you'll be fine...I wouldn't of said it was tight and twistie really...its more of a riders track than what sort of machine your on....

[RiderInBlack]

Fuk the small track, it is so teeennyyy. My heavy thing would make me sweat buckets.

Still let me think about it.....If I can get "Roxanne's" heavy arse (230Kg dry) round it, you should be able to get the Exup around. Fuck mate, Taupo is not that hard, you want to try getting round Ruapuna on a heavy bike:sweatdrop Still bloody good fun but.

Don't be such a fucken blouse.

44 second laps right here on a 95 Gixxer eleven on a damp track. Barrel of laughs.

[FROSTY]

Trash Man--they are talking about the track not the bloody carpark mate

[Velox]

Are most people heading home on Sun afterwards or staying the night? I vaguley remember talk of a bbq after the track time but I might have completely made that up. Hot pools would be nice though. MMmmm.

I am thinking of staying the night.... anyone else keen? or I'll just tuck my tail and head home...

[RiderInBlack]

I am thinking of staying the night.... anyone else keen? or I'll just tuck my tail and head home...Depends on my mood, but if I go on Sun it will be early and I will not be mucking about (6hrs to home and I have to be there by 11:30am, so I'd be gone by 5:30am). Might ride halfway back (Hamy or Dorkland) on Sun and ride the rest of the way home Mon Morning. Will have the tent, so no worries (I just find a place to tuck off the road and pitch for the night).

[SpankMe]

Upcoming Taupo weather. :sunny:

[pyrocam]

I'll hang around till 7 or so at the latest, need to get back to auck for work on mon

(although my past 10pm excemption DID come through today! :) )

[skelstar]

When would you be coming back on Monday V?

[Velox]

When would you be coming back on Monday V?
I'm actually heading up to Auckland til Tues with VWarrior so won't be coming back Mon. If you want to come up to Auck with us and do a mission back on Tues though feel free! Hopefully we'll find some nice roads along the way. Give the 250s a bit of long distance work!

[Quasievil]

Should all those staying the Saturday night (me and crew included) perhaps meet in town for a couple of quiets ?
Im thinking the Irish bar with the big deck out front ??

(and no thats DECK not DICK ,I wont be waiting out front)

[Quasievil]

Taupo dude of course sheeeesh:wari:

[cowpoos]

When would you be coming back on Monday V?

[DemonWolf]

Well I'm heading back home Saturday so might as well swing and have a looksee @ Taupo... Unfortunately i dont know where the race track is in taupo.. so would some kind soul point me in the right direction please.

Cheers

Centennial Drive, check out here...

Pretty easy to find, I head along Spa Rd which becomes Centennial, then just keep following that road for a bit and you will see the track on the left just as you come to a "T" intersection.

Sounds good...if you can handle the pace :).

I imagine I might be quite tired by the end of Sunday...hopefully still have a room for Sun night.

Thanx Dss3.. muchly appreciated

[FROSTY]

Don't wanna put a downer on things here folks -and I apreciate a couple of quiets is different from a session on the turps BUT -----
ANYONE under the influence of booze on sunday will NOT be riding.

I know that for most of ya this is a case of DUUUU yea we know that but I just wanna make it clear

[dss3]

He did say quiets, not get on the piss. I dont think anyone would want to waste there money on the track by getting trolleyed the night before..... but afterwards.. now thats different

From personal experience I think that "couple of quiets" may have an alternative meaning in "quasi-english"!

Yeah that had to be said, I will be on the lookout for drunks !!:2guns:
just watch that DSS3 fella, keep outta his way if you get my drift:puke:

[dss3]

Tell ya what, i'll take a hit for the team and go out on Saturday night, i'll go into every pub in town on the lookout for KB"rs and if I see any with drinks, i'll confiscate those drinks from them on the spot. I know it'll be a tough job, and it could end up with me having to skull a lot of free booze, but consider it as my thank you to the KB community. :-)

Never mind all the serious shit, if ya turn up hungover yer not gonna be at yer best,and it'll take a lot of the enjoyment outta the day.For your own sake ,keep it tame on sat night.Sunday night though......:drinknsin :drinkup: :drinknsin :drinkup: :woohoo: :apint: :apint: :thud: :sick: :puke:

[jimbo600]

I ride my best when I'm minging,

[White trash]

If any of you bastards in the slow group turn out to be hungover or high - I'll have no problems taking your keys off you or worse.........:spudgrr: I'M SERIOUS.

Can't say I've ever been to a trackday un-hungover. What's it like? Best one was Puke, April last year. Turned up after having got home at 5am that morning (thanks Grunta), never seen the track, the sun was hurting my eyes. Lynda Blair grabs a hold of me and screeches to everything in earshot (the whole Franklin area) "EVERYBODY, THIS IS WHITE TRASH!" Followed some handy pilot on a Gixxer 1K (KiwiStorm?) for a few laps to find out which way the corners go then gave them all a thorough dusting for the rest of the day on the 600. Then rode home.

Ya don't know what you're missing sonny!

[HDTboy]

Ask sixpackback how hungover I was when we went round the coro loop

[Quasievil]

Weather image for Sunday, this guy (in my experience) hits the nail on the head, he shows cloud but only small amounts of rain, if any so all good

[FROSTY]

lets all pray the weather gods are smiling on us

[GSVR]

Read the banter before the last trackday (april 10) I was starting to worry as it was my first trackday. But its just people tend to talk things up here.

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=208280&postcount=9

Just don't go in the group Whitetrash is in as those guys are all slightly crazy. And the next group down are people trying to be crazy enough to get in the group Whitetrash is in so its actually safer to be in the other group as at least you know what to expect and I wont be in it.

[skelstar]

Because tracks are covered in rubber etc, if it rains is the track particularly slippery?

No. Those guys are the ones who don't know they are crazy (but are). The safest group is the one standing trackside, bullshitting each other about how good they were/will be, lamenting be unable to prove it, if they only had a bike.

[FROSTY]

um yea it can be slippery the last half od the sweeper and the right hander

[Test Pilot]

lets hope the rain stays away, all weekend so the ride there and back is a nice one too

Question: circuit....clockwise or anti-clockwise. Just sorting out my lines :).

[cowpoos]

counter-clockwise...

follow a couple of riders that have been there before on the slow...""babybikies show and tell lap" you see the lines pretty easy...the only corner thats a bit trick to learn is the sweeper...but you'll be fine skel...

[skelstar]

The sweeper is the one running into the back-straight?...looks like it tightens on the exit..guess thats the tricky bit :).
