Thought I would get the ball rolling.

This of course is for the trackday up at Manfield. I believe the registration/sign-in is from 8am-9am. I would say that a reasonable allowance for transit time is 2 hours (a bit generous maybe).

So how about:
Pauahatanui Servo 6:45am sharp departure.

Start point open for discussion but we shouldnt be much later than this I reckon.

I reckon that you should come up early and take your bike out to the track.....Im gonna, im a bit nervous about it but I figure that it'll be an excellent confidence booster, no cages in your way and no "bad patches" on the road to worry about!

I'm coming tomorrow, but not on Saturday.

I really want to. The more I thought about it the more excited I got.

But I can't go. My partner would kill me for two reasons:
1. Her parents are up from down south for her cousins wedding.
2. We don't have the money.

Tomorrow is a kind of conselation(sp?) prize. "You don't get to go on the track, but you can go for a ride tomorrow instead."

Yay!! (sarcasm)

Me and the missus (didn't know she wanted to come til last night?!!) Will be leaving in the Hilux at about 8am. So if there is anybody who might need assistance along the I'll stop and help out wherever possible. Str8 Jacket has my cell number or you can PM me if you'd like it.
The travel route will be straight SH1 and then ???

I'll probably be dropping by to watch as my bike is broke, any specific place that you guys will be hanging around? I haven't met any of you face to face yet so let me know where you'll be so i won't haave to go around asking all the bikers who they are.

Tell her you don't want to be there on Saturday as her dad propositioned you last time and you're really uncomfortable around him because you're not like that. That'll work.

Yeah, nice plan, but if you ever met her dad you would know that story was unbelieveable

Dont stress it PGTR, there'll be other days and it is alot of money (especially gas stops for us!) Im "robbing Peter, to pay Paul" to go and thats not always the best thing either! Just make sure you start saving for the next one!

:niceone: Yeah - I was thinking of heading up later in the day. Not going to go on the track but thought I'd head up anyway. And it's so early!!!

Would 11ish be good for you?

If the mother in law is coming, the foolproof way to getting them to leave early is to take the toilet door off.

Well i am going to ride out on saturday. Will be my first ride on a bike ever. Will be taking it easy and will not be hitting the track. Just want to get a feel for the bike culture. I am looking forward to it and meeting other keen bikers. Love telling work mates that I own a CBR. :rolleyes: . So will be there. Do we just come in the main gate?

I be leaving at 6am in an old Toyota van (white, of course, with a KB sticker top right). Wave as you go by; I'll try and stay out of the way.

Won't see you at the track unless your a bucket racer. :motu:

no no, everything fine thanks... just discovered I have no WOF, Reg and my kit is is still shy some good boots and pants. No time to sort it before the weekend and it would be a decent sized ticket if I got snapped (including the no L plate); gonna do the responsible thing and get it all done Saturday (including booking my Restricted test!).
