Never been to a puke open day so i've got the following questions?

1, Scrutineering?? yes/no
2, Do you have to hold a license to get onto the track, that is your road bike license
3, Is top and bottom codura allright for the trackday?? or has to be a one piece or only leather??

Also helping a mate out who is interested in going

Thanks for your help

Not 100% sure, but I would say any liscense would do, they only ask you to write down your liscense number, they don't actually look at it.

Some excellent wheelies from some guys coming out of the hairpin. Got a few snaps but my camera is really for taking photos of grandma and wasn't up to the job. I'll post a few if any are actually good enough to look at.

That was probably one of the best times I have had at Puke.. After the Shaun Harris trackday, I have learned some key points about race lines that (I think) have helped me get a bit faster around the track. Everything makes so much more sence now when it was all a mistry before.

Good to catch up with all you guys who were out there too.

I might be there in the one next week too. Need to train up a bit for Boxing day...

Funny moments i had and saw, firing myself out of the hairpin behind carey briar, only to run out of gas at about 14000rpm (peak of power) and smake my head into the fairing blade... Then having daryl right up my arse so get on the power early, and have the front come up a bit, heading towards the grass i slammed it down, as i did that my foot hit the gear lever knocking it into neutral (retard)... and then watching MR pull a wheelie out of the pits and have one of his feet slip off the pegs, then the other one slip off too... hehehe

GIXser

11th July 2006, 12:46

First of all it make me realize what an amateur i am, when Two smoker, Motoracer, darryl, and the others pass me , like im standing still,!!! mighty impressive you guys, one day i will get there,!!!
it was a great day, only thing i have to say is, i didnt like the drifters to much due to the fact of all the dirt on the track, mainly castrol, and the hairpin, a few close moments because of it,
i would like to see (bikes) hire it out by themselves, i guess it would take 30 bikes or so-- but it would make a better day run two sessions, 15 each on the track,,, what do ya reckon, should i start a thread for a day in about 3 months time????

12th July 2006, 14:41

i only did 3 sessions, one in the wet but drying conditions. but the sessions were quite long as i ended up with the fuel light on straight after i left at about 1.30pm. i never really got comfortable. cant find a way to stop my pegs from bouncing off the ground.

Funny moments i had and saw, firing myself out of the hairpin behind carey briar, only to run out of gas at about 14000rpm (peak of power) and smake my head into the fairing blade... Then having daryl right up my arse so get on the power early, and have the front come up a bit, heading towards the grass i slammed it down, as i did that my foot hit the gear lever knocking it into neutral (retard)... and then watching MR pull a wheelie out of the pits and have one of his feet slip off the pegs, then the other one slip off too... hehehe
maybe I should have come....running low on smellies at the moment...
