Well me and bren_chch are going to hit the track next tuesday arvo (to celebrate exams being over for me, yay) so thought I'd extend the invitation to anyone else that's keen. We'll go out at about 12 with the afternoon session going from 1-5pm. It will cost ya $50 and depending on how many cages are out there you'll get atleast 4 20 min sessions. There's even a chance of no cars being out there which would mean we get the track all to ourselves. Just the usual protective gear required. Pretty sure that about covers it, either send me a PM or post a reply if anyone's got any questions.

:done:

Edit: Oh yeah forgot to mention, no CX500's or anyone that has owned one are allowed, track rules apparantly :killingme

Come on D, I know your english isn't the greatest but you must have been able to work out that I was using "one" as a pronoun.

Sweet, looks like there's going to be quite a good turn out. Now I'm getting anxious as to whether my bike's going to be ready or not. Oh well if not I'll bring out the bucket.

Fruggin advertising, I told them I'm out of here at 12:00, and I've only received half of my first proof back. Looks like I might have to delegate this one. I'll still be there, got a new rear hoop especially for today.

Bren_chch
8th November 2005, 09:44
bummer Aaron, i wanted to see the new paint job!!

What a mint day. Just got back now. Had the track to ourselves for about 2/3rds of the afternoon. $25 well spent I reckon. 1 cage came out for about an hour and did 2 sessions and apart from that we could go out whenever we wanted

Bren's got some vid footage (mainly of me kicking his arse), so hopefully we can get a few clips up soon. Cheers OAB and bren, good day.

Awesome day agreed. Nothing like have your own race track aye? My onboard camera worked a treat, but the files are quite large so I can't get them up here. I'll be able to easily transfer them to bren's computer so you can see them.

Bren_chch
8th November 2005, 21:15

unfortunately for you tweedle dee, the ZXR is in bits at the moment & also i'm in the last couple of weeks before exams, as close i got today to ruapuna was seeing an aprilia & honda cbr turning off at templeton.

and as for my nana haha i suspected you'd be into nacrophylia probably the only time you get something stiff near your loins :lol:
