Nope. Just have good protective clothing. Take your mirrors off, packframe if you have one. Oh and be prepared to have Keystone try to smoke you. She likes to pick on Honda's ( All part of her training for the Honda Riders Club track days). :corn:

And finally leave a place on yer face for the huge smile you are going to get. So have fun and see you out there.

Very good day, only 3 groups and the weather was perfect.

Highlights for me were:
-Andrew Stroud's (?) GSXR1000 racebike sounded sweet
-The NA 20B series 6 was also very cool sounding
-An SV650 going very fast (also sounding good with a nice pipe)
-The track stayed clean the whole day
-Fast (and loud) mini Dejoux
-The Rav4 flying around the track, what a legend
-a Toyota Mark 2 with a V8
-Very very tidy HK (?) Monaro with a ~480hp 350
-NZPC's project S13 was finished and out for a test, didn't see who was driving it though
-Noone fell over, not even me
-Plenty of bikers to have a yarn with between sessions

Looking forward to the next one :)

Cant remember the time she (keystone19) told me she did, but its a BIG improvement on her last time there.

Yeah a good day. Nice to meet you motobob and looking good on the SV too K19.
Had fun running in my new toy. I was very happy with her and will try to make it to the Puke round 12th March for racing.

Yep, was a fun day out alright. Arrived a bit late so missed the first session and was itching to get out there by the time the second one came around!

Was neat watching Andrew Stroud and Ray Clee duelling around the track throughout the day. To give an indication of speed, I was hitting around 209 at the bend on the back straight and they were through there at about 300. WOW! Apparently they were less than a second off the lap record out there!

Had the Pilot Powers on the track for the first time and was very pleased with their handling. Still a couple of lines to work on including into the hairpin. There's a bit more speed to be had around Jennian as well for me.

Good fun riding Motobob's CBR600 for the last two sessions while he was on my SV. I was even able to stay with him so we had a bit of fun playing in the corners. Think we were lapping around 1.11 - 1.12 in those sessions.

Great to see some other KBers out there too!

Cleve good to meet you too. Not many KBer's go out there on 6 Hundy's so it was a lot of fun chasing you round.:scooter:

Got to meet Gixxer for the first time. The lad certainly got some speed going by the end of the day.

K19 hope we were going faster than that (but probably weren't). Love riding the SV round Puke, its one cool bike. No idea why people think they're slow ( Scary getting on my Gixxer after it though) :sweatdrop

Dave McDonald said Stroudy was 0.2 sec's off the lap record. Not bad with a bunch us Tossers getting in his way. I think K19 only got those quik times cos Stroud created so much draft that the SV got sucked along. :wait:

Excellent day and we got 5 sessions as well. Even got my knee down over the hill, now that put the shits up me :apumpin:

Cheers. Looking forward to chasing you around next time. Is there a race round on 12th March at Pukekohe? I looked on the AMCC website but it doesn't say anything but I am sure I heard it somewhere.

Yeah the CBR may become a keystone free zone. :msn-wink:
