Just hitch mate, but make sure you hide in the bushes while Chloe stands there with her thumb out. Nobody in there right mind is going to pick your ugly mug up.

Yeah you gotta be there to collect the :first: . Just looking at the points I reacon you may have wrapped the F3 class up without even having to do the last round.

I'm expecting to go a bit faster as I now have new Pirelli Corsa S1's fitted Next purchase willl be some tyre warmers for the cold winter months.

But at 66 points behind they aren't looking odds on.

Depends on if Stuart Dawe turns up... If he does, then i might be in for a look... But Nick and Gerard could take it out...

no your saffe dude.
im now no 83
going to be keeping things simple out there this weekend as i crashed last week. plan not to destroy the bike before the vic club series too.

I plan to be there checking the competition out before Manfield.
Will have the KR in streetstocks and F3.
#41 in Rat bike mode :shifty: , or maybe #141 if Motoxxx still has my number?

Anyone got any floorspace i can sleep on? Can bring strecher/sleeping bag.
Or know of cheap places to stay? $15 - $20/night.

Might be sleeping in the car again :bye: :zzzz:

Racey.

PS. could do with some pit crew help too.

Hey man, as you know, I'll be there... checking out the Streetstock competition and learning the track. You've convinced me to do F3 aswell so that I can get to know the track really well. It'll be good to be experienced at this new circuit.

We might have room under our borrowed Ezy up for your bike. Can't wait to meet you and race you. Although I've got the 250 advantage. Catch you all then.

UNBELIEVABLE!! :brick:

After 4 track days of my bike running fine, I go and test it again yesterday, and it's now Blowen a head gasket again or something.

Bubbles in the radiator, Water on the spark plug. Won't idle - keeps reving too 5000rpm.

:crybaby:

Still,, better to have happened Now than after I've driven all the way to Taupo.

Off to rip the head of now and see what I can do to patch it. :shutup:

Might be there,, Might be Not. :thud:

Racey.

Ps. I know of a crashed KR with very low Km on it's motor. As soon as I sell my road bike I'll be makin them an offer they can't refuse!

If any of you happen to be down on Taupo waterfront around 11 am Sunday and see a blue Blackbird parked up, it'll be me. I've promised to take Mrs B to brunch at one of those open air cafes where SH1 joins the waterfront.

Good weekend for the Kapiti boys.
Neil won the series and got knee down for the first time! (VIRGIN NO MORE!!)
and Eamon came 3rd (from what i know??)

I even got a go on the Honda CBR600rr (Haydens bike from last year), during the lunch break! SHIT WAS THAT FUN! Apart form someone crashing just after the start/finish straight which killed any fun through that section.
They looked ok, was up and moving anyway.

Saw a few KBers there, but was just enjoying the day.

However!...
Did not enjoy the ride there or back! SHITE WAS IT COLD!!!! wont go on bout that though.

Well done to DSS... for keeping it upright coming onto the start finish. Saw you going wide, back wheel hits paint, steps out, straightens up, DSS shrugs it off and carrys on. GOOD SHIT!!

Mate, i had some 750 thing holding me up!:chase:
I dont know how Hayden raced that bike like it was. Bloody soft in the front, and solid in the rear. Felt funny. Still loved it!

Am looking at buying it, but not for a few months.:banana:
