[cowpoos]

excuses excuses!!

[Brett]

My name was down, but i am not 100% sure that i can make it anymore. I am hoping so. If i can't race, i will probably come and watch.

[texmo]

Give you a race if you go brett... alwase nice to have another fast rider on the same bike out there.

[SuperDave]

Provided I can get my chain and rear brake sorted by the weekend and the weathers good then I'm keen to take the 600 out to a track for the first time.

[SpankMe]

Maybe I should come out a bit later this time so the track is more dry. How many runs did you get in last week?

Most got 4 dry, one wet...

[GIXser]

i would come ,and love doing the track thing,, but i reckon its to darn dangerous with those drifters" spraying mud and shit all over the track, "not good when you on two"
thats why im trying to arrange a bike only day, much safer that way--i spoke to gary at the track and he agreed, he was pissed of with the cars--if ya are going""" be careful"

[Brett]

Hell yeah bro, i would be keen to have a bit of a race with you. I will probably turn up to watch no matter. If the weather is good, i will most likely do some runs. I am just a tad suspicious of my chain...but i will probably just lube it up well and see how it goes, or alternatively take the chain and sprockets with and swap them there...dunno yet.

[Ozzie]

Hey, apparently I'm down for this, but am only going to watch. The one I signed up for was a bike only day in October, has it been canned?

Nup this is just a normal testing day... So there will be bikes and cars...

[SpankMe]

Lets hope that sun gets here sooner..

[Brett]

Indeed...just finished watching the weather now and thought the same thing.

[ausmark]

Thinking of heading to Puke for Sat practice. Anyone else interested? I am friendly and don't bite, but enjoy someone to chase or lap and chat to in between sessions. Last time I went there was only 3 bikes there..... Any takers email me direct at mark916@bigpond.com
Cheers

[ZeroIndex]

I may seriously consider this (if it's really sunny and I have a low volume of mail to deliver on Saturday morning).. How does registration and payment work?

[ausmark]

Just roll up, scribble on a form and hand over $90... they didn't even ask for Id last time I went, let alone check your licence....

[texmo]

Why would you need a licence? do puke do any check on the bikes? manfeild just gave me a sticker and that was that.

[Mental Trousers]

There haven't been any checks of any sort done when I've been there. I don't even think I put my license number on the form. Long as they can read your name and it's signed you're all good.

[ZeroIndex]

Why would you need a licence? do puke do any check on the bikes? manfeild just gave me a sticker and that was that.
haha, i can imagine it..

You: yeah, i wanna race on the track today
Bike checker: did you bring the bike on a trailer or did you ride it here?
You: huh? i rode here..
Bike checker: here's a sticker.. put it somewhere visible, have fun

:D

[Ozzie]

You guys still doin this?

Was thinkin about bringin my kids out to watch, maybe take some pix, close the gap a bit and remove "but dad, bikes are dangerous"!

[Two Smoker]

Sorry guys, looks like im out... Things have come up... Plus the weather looks shit...

[ZeroIndex]

today was pretty sunny in hamilton, so the weather people are hopefully wrong about tomorrow..

[SuperDave]

Yeah I'm passing on this one too, will try for next weekends one. Still got a shitload of stuff to get done on the bike but will be all done by next weekend so hopefully the weather is good next sat.

likewise.. even if it's just to watch, i should make it for next saturday

[Firefight]

been pissing down for a couple of hours, starting to clear now, bit of misty rain atm, looks like it might clear, will post an update at 10.00 for you wanabe track types.

F/F

[Brett]

Damn shit weather. Looks like I will be GIB fixing my uncles place instead. GUTTED. I was looking forward to heading out onto the track.

[Firefight]

better, no rain for a couple of hours, roads & track starting to dry out.


F/F

[Ozzie]

The weather is fine in Puke, track is mostly dry, there are two riders on the track, not sure who they are, but took some pix, not the best at photography sorry.

Can't load pix, f'in pop ups, will keep trying....fixed, one more to come

[Ozzie]

and the last one

[Mental Trousers]

Kicking Zebra on the blue GSXR600
Road Rash on the red & white CBR250

[texmo]

What times was road rash pumping out?

[Quasievil]

Wow, looks like those two have some cool leather on !!!!

[Ozzie]

What times was road rash pumping out?

Sorry was simply a spectator with a camera, wasn't involved with them or anything.

Thort I would post the pix incase them or someone else wanted them.

[kickingzebra]

Sorry, our onboard timing equipment was puckaroo....
Nah, couldn't be bothered with any timing or anything, but that was a blast, especially as the day wore on! The track dried out nicely, and the bike stopped trying to spit me over the high side....

Yeah, she was pretty slippery at first, 1st gear doddering around turn 3, as it was coated in the slipperiest substances known to man, (I neglected to sample it for accuracy, but it was slippery!) But still managed to top her out in 6th down the back straight. Standard gearing, but i wasn't wearing a speedo... or speedoes... (fine leather there Quasi, dem fine If Ah do say so!) So couldn't tell for sure.

Also had a blast in Bios new Audi a8. OOoo baby... dems some fiiiine wheels!!!
Cheers for the day guys! Next time lets see a few more of you rain o phobes out there!!! On second thoughts.... Having the track to ourselves was bruddy brilliant, so stay away!!

[Big Chim]

Yeah i had a blast, dunno what times i was doing cause some of the corners were shit due to the drifters so didnt bother. Wasnt to bad having the track all to ones self

[Biohazard]

lol was a fun day...wish i took the Blade ho hum..

Took my A6 4.2 Quattro out on the track instead :blip:......

Next time I is taking me bike and car, and do all the sessions :nya:

[Big Chim]

Next time I is taking me bike and car, and do all the sessions :nya:
