Nah man.. unfortunately. I don't think i'll be going anywhere soon. I've just got back from pickin the bike up from its 24k service and i still can't move my ass.

$900 for a 24k service.. i cant believe the price of 4 fukin spark plugs, iridium or not they're bastard expensive at 200 for 4 :gob:


Have fun.... i'll be at a Taupo one soon tho huh !!!

churs! yeah, i'm startin to get the hang of this ridin lark.. I know I can push a little harder, but it's startin to piece together..

Awesome shots, Kiwi.. spot the orange biiiiiiiiike!!!!! another reason why orange rocks ;)

most of those shots (not just me!) goin into the image bank *caachonk*..

was a good day, had a lot of fun actually, learnt a lot more (do each time).. main learn this time is to keep my toes in a little more so I don't catch them too early, and try to stay off sliders!!!!

for the photos too, I'm in the grey leathers, Postie is in the clashing red ones.. at least one of us has style i guess..

you need a new computer screen mate, its just plain black lid.

edit: actually I see your point mate, it must be the camera, cos that lid is black as ba ba the sheep

Sucks a fat one, eh...spark plugs actually have a really low wholesale margin too, so it's not just the workshop rapin' ya.

my onboard video camera ($200 oregon from noel leemings) the sound quality is crap but with a bit of trial and error i think i can baffle it with a piece of foam.

What an awesome day for those who turned up!! I guess due to holidays, people recovering from Christmas, the weather etc there were many reasons for the low turnout. I don't thnk there was even a thread about it here, so my little report's in Allan's photo/video thread!!.

We got a brilliant fine day in the end, often the way it is at Taupo and had six or seven 20min sessions. To say we were buggered afterwards would be an understatement!! There were 5 in the slower group and 12 in the faster so there was little traffic!!

We had a great day but Steve Fisher didn't. Due to the low turnout he lost about $2000 that day!! I for one would like to see him continue in business - otherwise we won't get so many or such a choice of dates for trackdays. He is a fellow enthusiast after all!! So if anyones contemplating doing Manfeild on the 19 Jan or Pukekohe on 21 Jan please register now, and if possible prepay!! Prepaid entrants go into a draw to win a set of tyres at these two meetings. We had about a 1:10 chance of winning an Arai helmet on Thursday because of the low turnout (and I still didn't win and No, I'm not on Steve's payroll - I just like doing trackdays)

Had a couple of good sessions chasing Bugjuice and eviltwin, my bike transformed with the new Diablo Corsa 3s. Interesting looking at eviltwins video above and seeing the speeds he was getting on the straights.

Here's a video of my attempt at a dice with him (not that we were racing!!) Intersting to watch after seeing his footage above, especially if you ride a 600!! Download "eviltwin.mov" at http://homepage.mac.com/leong.goh/Biking/FileSharing32.html Its about 74MB!!

Weekday trackdays are sometimes not worth it Leong.

It is cheaper for me to pay $300 to attend a weekend day than spend $100 on a weekday one due to lost wages, annual leave lost, etc, etc...

Then there's the headache of arranging leave as work projects don't change deadlines.

Thanks for the great photos Allan!! :2thumbsup Good to have some that don't show my ugly catalytic converter!! Like that one of eviltwin, me and the guy on the Hayabusa!! 'cept it shows my poor body positioning. You'd think after all that time following eviltwin and buggy that I might have learnt something eh.... next time.

Shame you didn't make it to Manfeild.... it was an exceptional day!!! Could have done with some help from you on lines thru that sweeper....have you seen my vid?

Those dunkeys who own kwikimarts earn 5K+ a week, if I was such a dunkey I would be at every trackday on a race spec F2 bike.

Edit - just realised dunkey - dunc** - I think i'm gonna call you dunkey from now on.
