when i rode the k7, i photocopied the back of the user manual, 101 excuses:dodge: for getting schooled

[placidfemme]

I'm just waiting on confirmation of a bigger memory card that I can borrow, and then hopefully Sam will be able to full it up with piccies... at the moment my lil memory card only holds 12 pics :(

[DMNTD]

Consider it confirmed :sunny:

I'll be taking it pretty easy, haven't had much time recently on the bike.
Although they say its like riding a bicycle.....
I may get straight into it though and kick some Honda butt.....then again I may get my butt handed to me by 400's :)
Either way as long as its fine, I'll be happy to let her rip without fear of the fuzz.

in true fashion... straight from teh handbook 101.... "'ll be taking it pretty easy, haven't had much time recently on the bike."

Yep :scooter:
Seriously I used to commute everyday 100km's or so. But in the last 6 months I've had a company ute, so have hardly used the bike. Less than 500km's in 6 months....its a killer.
I'm not saying I am faster than anyone else though.......some of these other guys who have, had better be able to back it up on the day.
If I remember the rules of the day (Frosty's) its not a race! and timing won't be allowed. So who's going to know who's faster?
It'll all be conjecture!
Everyone knows black ones are quicker anyways.....even standing still :Punk:

[Disco Dan]

I will be bringing along my camera mount for anyone that wishes to use it:

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=48477&d=1166067120

It can be adjusted to fit most bikes and bolts onto one of your filler cap screw holes. The suckers on the front absorb most of the vibrations and make pretty darn good videos! You can adjust it to include your guages or just the road etc. The bolt is a standard size camera mount bolt that fits 99% of cameras. I have tested it with surprisingly large cameras without problems.

When I have used it, I have never had the suckers brake loose. Even if they do, it wont fall off as the bolt is holding it on. It may move to the left/right a bit but that will be it if the suckers break loose.

If you like it - I can make you one $30.

Look out for my giant red top box. If you want to use it just ask!

[slinky]

the one with the foam mattress and sleepn bag tucked away?

[The Stranger]

It's pink!
Mind you, makes a good rubbish bin I believe.

[Morcs]

I will be bringing along my camera mount for anyone that wishes to use it:



Can I borrow it for a session?

[Disco Dan]

It's pink!
Mind you, makes a good rubbish bin I believe.


RED!

...Yeah... need to start fricking charging for storage I think!

[FROSTY]

Keep in mind folks--the bike must both PASS scrutineering --AND continue to be up to scrutineering standards--A GREAT BIG FUCK OFF CAMERA MOUNT AND CAMERA POINTING AT YA GUT WON'T PASS

[cowpoos]

[cowpoos]

but why??????????

[R6_kid]

in true fashion... straight from teh handbook 101.... "'ll be taking it pretty easy, haven't had much time recently on the bike."

You'd better believe it, i have a rebuilt engine to run-in, suspension to set up, my tyres are shite to say the least, I have had a massive 5 times on a bike since February... oh and the 'new' bike is somewhat more powerful than my last...

Basically, if i pass you, im gonna laugh.

No bloody good talking about it, you got to get it finished before you can ride it.

[R6_kid]

shouldnt you be in the garage working on it?

[Brett]

Crap - Just checked that my WOF runs out on the 5th...and I haven't got a chance to get one before then...may have to take the bike to work and go inmy lunch break.

[The Stranger]

shouldnt you be in the garage working on it?

I have been.




Swapping out all the good bits from yours onto mine.

[R6_kid]

good thing i already swapped most of it over last night when you were out, just gotta hope you swapped all the same shit back!

[boomer]

Keep in mind folks--the bike must both PASS scrutineering --AND continue to be up to scrutineering standards--A GREAT BIG FUCK OFF CAMERA MOUNT AND CAMERA POINTING AT YA GUT WON'T PASS

huh.. its good enough for race days and the other track days>?

and i'd appreciate it if the guy who scutineered last year didnt grab hold of my radar mount and shake it like a papakura 2year old this time ;)

[boomer]

good thing i already swapped most of it over last night when you were out, just gotta hope you swapped all the same shit back!

[FROSTY]

Fuck, I'll give ya a grand to kick Poos out:yes:
Hmm justy got a pm ofering me 2k to do thje same to you--decisions decisions :Punk:

[Karma]

And bringing this thread back onto topic...

How many garages are there in the new pits? and will we have access to them?

[FROSTY]

there are 35 garages--Yes You could book a garage.
go to http://www.tauporacetrack.co.nz/
The garages are bloody huge--each one will easily take 8 bikes

[Blondini]

I hope you all have the greatest time,I will be there in spirit:love:

[Karma]

I can't see any information on there about booking a garage, but suspect that would be at extra cost no?

If it's going to cost a lot extra then don't think I'll bother, just assumed (wrongly it seems) that hiring the track meant hiring the garages as well...

its about 3 or 4 hundie for a garage; a drop in the ocean if ya need space for all ya hoes ;)

[FROSTY]

nope-Garages are exttra--Now they are $250 each but they are bloody HUGE --like each one takesabout 8 -10 bikes easily

[Karma]

nope-Garages are exttra--Now they are $250 each but they are bloody HUGE --like each one takesabout 8 -10 bikes easily

$250 on top of the track hiring costs as well? Do they expect people are going to use them?

Personally I can't see the business sense in having them sat there doing nothing, it's not like anyone else will be able to use them while we're out on the track.

Oh what am I thinking... this is NZ we're talking about...

[FROSTY]

WOA THERE--if ya have a problem with how the OWNERS of the garages and track do things--have a bleat at them
I'm working with what I've got

im with you, Karma
i think it is rediculous that they are charging $250 a garage. they have obviously put some "moron" in charge of this if only they charged say a hundred , they would actually recieve some money, instead of zip"
in saying all that, ya dont really need one, its handy bringing a pit tent just in case the sun comes out though,---

i might write a letter/email to taupo track to see why they are that price--


WOA THERE--if ya have a problem with how the OWNERS of the garages and track do things--have a bleat at them

i dont believe it was directed at you frosty, you do a sterling job"

Yeh sorry dude, wasn't aimed at you at all. You got my respect for putting the day together, even if you do ride a pink bike :rockon:

[FROSTY]

go to ---------post 2
Garages are at the VERY special price of $200 each for our trackday
For this money you get.
a 4-6 car sized Garage with fluro lighting.
To give you an idea how big--they have 4 holden v8 sized roller doors and will fit 4 holden V8's with room to spare
Running water and (at least) 4 electric power points for tyre warmers electric drills etc.
Before having a moan --think about this--The garage will fit a very MINIMUM of 8 bikes with literally room tons of room around em to work on the bikes Id say more likely each garage will without trouble fit 10 bikes
10 of ya get together and bingo $20 buck each
Call JACKY on 07 3765033 to book a garage --or just get one on the day

Hmmm 10 people in a garage all working on bikes,, me thinks not.. 5 comfortably with tools, petrol cans , tire warmers, pit stands etc, then ofcourse there is the entering and exiting the garage, during track sessions,

still a rip---and it shows cos no one hires them!!!

[FROSTY]

Ok Gix tell ya what--I'm prepared to make a lil wager with you --
THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR 8 RACE BIKES COMPLETE WITH WARMERS /WORK ON THE BIKES--EVEN FULL WHEEL SWAP OUTS AND NO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL BIKES AT ALL -EVERY BIKE CAN COME AND GO FROM THE GARAGE WITHOUT PASSING OR INTERFERING WITH ANOTHER BIKE
with a bit of carefull positioning Id suggest that even 10 RACEBIKES would be easily done (might be a squeeze)
The garages are 10.0m square -with 4 single car roller doors -2 each end
This is a statement from me
If I am wrong I will shout you your next track day--If I am right--YOU will pay me double---ya up for the bet??

[ArcherWC]

Frosty's getting testee, haha

[yod]

prolly been asked already but anyhoo....if i wanna toodle on up and just have a nosey (not ride the track just watch), any charge to get in? just bowl on through??

[FROSTY]

Yod---no charge to watch-unless you are STUPID enough to hang ya legs on the trackside of the pit wall
And NO archer--me not testie at all ---the bet was typed with a big ol grin on my face--i WANNA SEE NOW IT THE DOUBTING THOMASES ACTUALLY TAKE ME UP ON THE BET.

[yod]

Yod---no charge to watch-unless you are STUPID enough to hang ya legs on the trackside of the pit wall


mint...thx mate.....

[aff-man]

$200 for the whole garage aint too bad...

2 months ago they wanted $200.... per side.

Na mate, you really would be able to fit 8 bikes in there. everyone has to be careful with what they do with there equipment but...it could be done.

as for a rip, we pay significantly more for significantly less provsioned garages elsewhere and at the nationals, so suck up that bottom lip and count ya lucky stars....its not that much compared to enty/tyre bill/gas/transport/accomodation/etc/etc for the weekend is it....esph if you share it.

[JayRacer37]

I will have at the track day on Sunday a range of HJC's Premier racing helmets. These will be avalible for anyone who wishes to to try on on track for a session. I have a range of sizes so i'll be hoping most everyone will be catered for. Come give me a yell sometime during the day if you want to take up this oppertunity :D

Cheers, Jay Lawrence

EDIT: PM me tonight if you'd like to make a plan or ask any qustions.

hmmmm. so why does no one actually hire them??? cos every time i have been there they havent exactly been fully booked, as a matter of fact out of all the trackdays i have only seen one person hire a shed/garage there.....
so my point is , if they actually made em, say $ 100 they would probably hire 10 or so during a trackday, and actually make a profit out of them rather than sitting empty---
basic principles of business, Supply v Demand,

[Karma]

Maybe they don't actually want people using them? Set the price just high enough that they're more than the 'common' man would want to pay, and therefore they don't get any commoners in their garages?

Well whatever the reason, I'll not be paying that much.

But in reality, who needs a garage at a track day?? the majority are just riding their road bikes, so they dont need any more than their average day on the road, so theres no need for a garage. its unual to have racer-types at track days, so the garage useage is going to be less. But yea price wise I see your point. some for less makes more sence than none for more. but so be it.

[Drew]

$200 split only five ways is only $40, so i dont understand what people are bitching about, but it is only a track day, so it aint that inportant.

HECK NO--the last thing they want is a bunch of unwashed Suzuki riders soiling their pristine new garages.

Flame had the most spectacular stack. :niceone:
Was so cool to see so many Kbers improve over the day....especially flame who found the limit, and Nicksta, who I thought was the most improved rider of the day! Jayracer37 for backing it in so well. Little Leprashaun puttin in some fuckin hot laps! Meeting Colapop who gives the bestest big hugs. Finally got to meet the incorrigible Riff Raff:innocent: and cool to catch up with everyone else....and thanks RoadRash and Momentum for the jumpstart.:slap:

[Keystone19]

Great day thanks Frosty! And thanks to all the marshalls, administrators and instructors!

Was awesome to see so many people improving over the course of the day. Thanks to Glen Williams for helping me with some tips and pushing me to keep up.

Ran off the track at the A1 corner twice - just carrying a little bit too much speed...mind you, Flame wins the prize for that corner - lol! And I agree completely with what you say about crashing Chick...

Fun with Quasi on his new SV, especially in that first session with the grass tracking...

Got home at 2.30am this morning - thanks Gav!

[Quartermile]

BRING ON THE PICCIES - oh yeah and sorry Frosty for running the red flag...twice - DOH - purely unintentional I promise.:dodge:

[Matt Bleck]

The "HI-LIGHT" of my day was what Speedie's talking about... Jay on HDT boy's bike turn 2..... oh we laughed and laughed!

I guess you'd call that karma in effect aye Gav?

[Keystone19]

and laughed and laughed and laughed and we're still laughing...

[BNZ]

Yeah cheers Tony. Great fun as always. Those tyres still had a little bit of rubber on them when I got home last night too!

[montsta56]

Cheers Frosty awesome day cant wait for the next one:yes:

[The Stranger]

Big thank you to Frosty. Another awesome day.

A big THANK YOU also to JayRacer37, Two Smoker and Keystone 19 for putting up with me constantly badgering them to take people around the track. Well done you guys you really helped make the day.

[placidfemme]

Had an awesome day yesterday.... learnt a LOT more than I thought I would... even scraped my pegs on the hairpin after pit straight lol very good!

Being lazy today, didn't get many pics, but will do a better post tomorrow when I get to work...

:):)

[et al]

Big Thanks Frosty and all your Helpers - I know you must have put in a huge amount of time and effort to make this happen - well done! I was there as Gunner's Support/Pit Crew - this was our first visit to Taupo and were using the Track Day as preparation for Gunner's forthcoming assault (or should that be insult) on the VMCC Winter Series. Nice to see lots of Wellington KiwiBikers there as well and all the Auckland people I met seemed to be half decent blokes/blokesses. Great atmosphere - people like Glen Williams, Rob from GP Honda, Steve from TyreWarmers, etc went out of their way to make themselves known to us and to offer helpful friendly advice.

[aff-man]

Flame had the most spectacular stack. :niceone:
Was so cool to see so many Kbers improve over the day....especially flame who found the limit, !

yeh Was pretty surreal to watch from a distance of about 3m......

And I will testify that she had her knee down well before the front end gave way.

Had a decent day. Pretty slow start but was getting up to pace in the later sessions. Managed to hang on to some of the faster guys so all good...

[kornboy]

Thanks Frosty and all organisers, will definitly be at the next one. PS anyone got pics of pearl white CBR250RR :P

[Leong]

Thanks for organising the day Frosty and crew. The KB days have a pretty special atmosphere!

We had to leave at 3pm, but didn't leave till 3.30 having swapped groups to get a third session in. So thats what happened Jonno.... we did our last session in the Med fast group, then left in a bit of a hurry. Would have been good to have done more sessions with you guys!! Next time....

[Arven]

Thanks Frosty for another great day.

I have uploaded some pics to the below address. I didnt get many as i was riding as much as possible! :)

[HDTboy]

suprised he didnt end up with a tyre like mine

He didn't, it was my bike. He's just a poser though, like Two Smoker said, he can't even get past the 2nd corner without falling off.

[JayRacer37]

the first photo is my pick for the day:clap: ...

but could someone plz verify the rider.... is it human or monkey:shutup:

Mostley monkey, I am...I think the thought process was "turn ya bast'....."

[JayRacer37]

The "HI-LIGHT" of my day was what Speedie's talking about... Jay on HDT boy's bike turn 2..... oh we laughed and laughed!

I guess you'd call that karma in effect aye Gav?

I laughed too....about ten hours later :shutup:
I just wanted to 'track verify' the most well known aspects of that particular motorcicle...

[JayRacer37]

Can spectators get to those stands in that vackground of some of those shots? (just asking for the VMCC race day).

[Disco Dan]

Can spectators get to those stands in that vackground of some of those shots? (just asking for the VMCC race day).

Not sure... but there is no protection from the wind... it would turn your nipples blue bofore you got to your seat... plus your further away/less view than from pit area. There is a veiwing platform above the pits with good views...

[Jantar]

k14 didn't end up too great. Came back with a sling on, but otherwise fine.
I'll wait for K14 to give the full details, but sounds like he isn't so fime. He could be off work for a few weeks or so.

[flame]

yeh Was pretty surreal to watch from a distance of about 3m......

And I will testify that she had her knee down well before the front end gave way.



lol.....all good, man I bounced!!!!! but hey it was AWESOME fun dicing with ya before the stack! and a huge thanks to Nick O....(who doesn't know it) but after he went passed me I found I could pick up the pace and keep him in my sight, didn't think I was pushing meself tooooo hard.....until I hit the ground :dodge:

Still not sure what happened, only that It was pretty cranked over when the front let go, apparently there was a bump there....but hard to feel little bumps on an old banger of an Iti!

Bike is amazingly in one peice, even after sliding so far! geeze when I found my feet some where above my head and could finally stand up I coundn't find the blaardy thing for a bit! still ridable, just rizzed up and rat tough now:yes:, didn't even break a lever, so all good.

Cheers everyone for the day. Thanks Goblin for being at my acclaimed corner :). And thumbs up Frosty for a fantastic day. See ya's all on the 20th.

I could hardly believe my eyes when you stood up before you stopped sliding:gob: then your feet caught up with you. That'll be why the ambo guy came straight over. I honestly thought you were gunna be seriously injured. Rapt to see you get straight back on and ride back to the pits.:sweatdrop
See ya on the 20th! :niceone:

Was a great day alright, took some getting used to the new setup, ( cheers for the advice Jay), felt faster than last month up there, not race pace from me, so I'll leave the serious racing to you lot, I have learnt my place.

I can see from you pics that you have got seriously good.

But, i know from first hand experience last season, How fast those CBRs are in comparison to the 150s.

No, they are not even remotely close.

Anywho, ill see you on the 20th. I'll be riding with you, but im in a different class (125GP)
