Maybe everyone could post their photos from the trackday here?

Here's the ones I took:
http://community.webshots.com/album/550594967wiEkoc

Rather than pick out the best ones I figured I'd just post pretty much all of them. Webshots makes it reasonably easy to browse the thumbnails and select particular photos to view fullsize.

For a lot of the photos I don't really know who's who (plus I'm busy as with stuff for uni now. sorry). But if anyone wants to comment on them, webshots lets you post a message below each photo.

"Squid (not on KB)" looked like he was having fun, altho I dont think the corners were quite sharp enough for him, he was locking up the rear to get a drift into the corner at the end of the straight, but was struggling to powerslide it. Kept coming onto the straight shaking his head. He definately had the hang of those wheelies tho, had a look to them like he coulda just gone on till he ran out of gas if the track was long enough.

How did it go, MT?

Went really well although she's really starting to show her age. Those bloody modern 600's have more grunt on the straights. Really the only problem I had was keeping the back wheel on the ground at the end of the start/finish straight (actually keeping the front wheel on the ground while the back was in the air was also a problem - occassionally did a stoppie/pogo). But getting to the track day was the real mission. Had to get a hole in the tank fixed (something was rubbing underneath and wore a hole in the bottom of the tank), then while the tank was off one of the wires for the connector broke and took over an hour to find, then I didn't have any split pins for the rear wheel nut ......

You should have seen his wheelies when he used to race a GSX-R1000... That or give him a pit bike... he does mint ones on one of those too... Had a yarn to Squid and he was complaining at the lack of grunt the RM-Z had, but he still has heaps of fun on it hehehe

Awesome, thanks for putting up all those pics Erik. Time to update my avatar with the current colour.
When you're doing the return trip through the pits you miss seeing what's going on on the track.
Can some one put names to the other wheelie Lads? Death, Motoracer, Poos, DSS and WT are easy to spot but I'm confused how Loosebruce seemed to have a split personality? One minute he's on his silver GSXR1000 missing it's lower panels, then there's someone in similar leathers on a silver gixer but lower panels intact. In fact, there were sooo many Gixer riders can you all post your bloody names here and paint your bikes odd colours -Death's taken that a bit far but atleast there's no mistaken his bike!
Cheers, Mark

My point exactly mate. And it'll get worse if we all start wearing quasimoto leathers. Might just get me some of them.
ps- sorry you got cramp doing a wheelie, lucky you could carry on on one leg and give the other a bit of a stretch! cool trick.:blip:

I'll give NZLiam much green rep if he does!! and the photos of camelia court... did he catch boomer taking a dump in the bush... LOL

The reason you guy non coloured gsxrs, is so that if they should crash (because they are ridden hard) then it fdoesn't cost an arse and a leg to replace fairings... Damn telefonica is cracked, and it is gonna cost a bomb!! (if I fix it)

Quite possibly, it is very noisy unless you're 100% accurate with your revs. I don't think it's a problem. Nice to know that I'm making a rep for myself and the bike though.

If you were near the hairpin, you may have also noticed the incredibly loud 'wooshing' noise from the front brakes.

Oh damn, does that mean peach is gone? I bet Bruce got that the bastard! Well atleast TL doesn't ride a GSXR anymore, otherwise I'd only have Beige left.

Too fucken right, you'll never see me owning a Telefonica, Corona or Repsol for exactly that reason (well that and the fact the Repsol's a Honduh pos)... I'd be too worried about crashing.

lol.. i'm passing her on the outside ya poo snozzle :blip:

so it was Rossi Gal huh ??!!! Duh, i recognise the leathers now :blip:

Tell me Poo's where i'm going wrong, 2much tells me its cos i'm going too slow ..which i know i am but is my body position all wrong, why am i struggling gettin me knee down if i can get me toes down (i'd like a serious answer but i know i'm gonna get shit from ya ;) )

Get the tips of your toes on to the tips of your peg and stick your knee out and away from your bike - your knee slider should scrape before your toe sliders hit the road.

Make sure you have smooth acceleration and enough weight pushing down on the outside peg to help you lift the bike up if things get too low. Don't back off the throttle if you get too low or you'll get even lower - keep the throttle steady or be accelerating smoothly and look where you wanna go --- yada, yada, yada........

The above works for me - see if it works for you.

Although the question is not directed at me, I'll make an offer anyway. Texmo and maybe a couple of people are pretty keen on riding with me on the road this weekend. I'll have a look and try and help out in their riding in anyway I can, if they ask for help. We can have some one on one riding session along with pointers etc on some nice twisties. You'll be getting your knee down in no time, if that is what you really want to do.

PM if interested.

Not true bro. if you're scrapping your toes then that's near the limit of your bike's lean and you should have your knee down. You need to slide your arse over more and really stretch your knee out. Have a look at that pic again, your bike's lent over more than Rossi Girl's and she's got her knee down.... you're not even sticking you knee out.

Sudeep will sort you out.

3 easy steps: Brake later, corner faster, get on gas earlier. Your bound to go faster!.... or crash... either way you should look really good for a little bit. :blip:

Personally I'm not worried about getting my knee down. I know what I have to do to get it down, but I don't find that comfortable (get a bit more of me off the seat and get my arse down the side of the bike and point my knee out further). Of course the other way to get my knee down is to take the hero blobs off and put on some tyres with a much steeper profile on the sides :doobey:

Getting my knee on the deck was the difference between going fast and going real fast, it really makes a huge difference to how far you can go.

3) um heres a reason to tape up ya headlight
4) an original way to thank Frosty for a premo trackday
(it would have been easer to kiss his feet)
5) and who are these two asses
6) top gals


WooHoo! a shot of me crashing! Great stuff babyB. I wasn't actually bowing down in reverence to Frosty, I was looking for the end of my gear lever which had just broken off. Ya gotta love dirtbikes: total crash damage bill = 1 x $60 gearlever.

He may already have something that does the job, but XnView (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/xnview/endownload.html)is a free prog that allows batch resizing. Just select the input and output folders, then the desired size, and hit the go button. For 3000 pics, you may also want to go and get a cup of coffee . . .

Hi All, I've only just recently joined the KB and am just finding my way around the site. Takes me awhile to find stuff. I am very impressed with the photo's that were taken just yesterday on the full track, jsut awesome. I was there too, just puttering along on my blue VFR feeling like I was just standing still..:) But it was a great day, with the weather just prefect. Bit of a bummer that I got a flat back tyre just in the first session, but thanks to Chris who organised it so I could get my tyre fixed straight away I only missed out on 1 session, I really appreciated your help! THANK YOU!! It's just fantastic being able to use the whole track, yesterday was my 4th time on the Taupo track and I thoroughly enjoyed it! So much that I decided to ride home instead of putting the bike in the van. Nice weather - no cops - what else would you want when you go for a bike ride ah? Thanks also to all the people who organised yesterday as it was superb. Cheers for now ( P.s: does anybody take photo's of slow riders???) :)

who is it?

Clint's brother in law Brad. He joined kiwibiker just to come to the track day I think. Looks like he was being extra careful with his wife's bike :innocent:

ta for your kind words, just feels like I'm going like a turtle, especially when I'm standing watching the fast group, don't know how they manage not to fall off... suppose practice ah? I do think I'm improving though, and I do feel alot more confident towards the end of the day, so I will keep on plodding on. :)

Practice, confidence and knowledge Pebbles. You'll get there, you just have to avoid thinking you can't do it.

Yeh I was in the same group as you Pebbles... on the Green ZXR... looks like you were using the power well and taking off into the straights, but slowing down a lot more than you needed to in the corners.

Just practice and confidence as others have said, it'll come with time...
