Open day at Pukie on Sat 7th of Aug '04

[Motoracer]

Hey all, any of yous wanting to go on the track on this Saturday? A bit late notice but I'd like to test out my tire warmers by this weekend so I'll be going there unless it is wet. If it's wet, I'll just go blasting on the road on the XR.

So what do ya say? Any takers to go on the track?

[Darryboy]

I'd be keen to make my maiden track run.
But are you sure there's a test day on the 7th?

I thought the next weekend test day at Puke was the 14th

MR - better get pratice the xr be good for them

You'd think so (I used to) but it's more freaky cause I feel like it's more easy to flip the thing.

On sports bike, I feel more confident. Easiest bike to wheelie that I have found are 1000cc sports bikes like the R1 or 954. No clutch, just wack it open and hold it up there, as easy as that cause of all that power!

Fuck yea! Primal instincts mate!

Just make sure you don't stuff it up. Sometimes it's good even if you stuff it up if the chick is nice and caring enough to come to your aid :doctor:

[FROSTY]

well ya know what they say -compensating?? :innocent:
Never was any good at wheelies -make up for it in other ways :moon:

hey Quazzie, yeah mate Showing off is what its about, however when it fucks up, its normally pretty embarrasing, and bugger me people seem to rememeber,for a long time, don't know how to search or do links or that sorta shit, but somewhere in here (KB) is a story about me out at woodhill, were I made a complete dick of myself, I was trying to copy the rider skills of John Nic of Kiwi rider mag, I had watched John many times ride his demo bikes on to the back of the trailer with out the need of a ramp...... :doctor: If someone can find a link thingy or the post , I a'm sure you would enjoy it Quazzie, if not, next time were on a ride I'll tell you about it.

F/F :wacko:

[Two Smoker]

hhhhmmmmm, Saturday is a bit short notice, ill be out riding with my old man on Saturday, and might pop in to the track...... also no leathers :weep:

I spent all day today practicing wheelies on the CT110, best wheelie i did lasted 10 metres, just getting used to the balance point.... Shat myself a few time when i hit 11 oclock :crazy: but my problem at the moment is i get to the balance point and roll the throttle off too much resulting in the wheel dropping :(

My rolling stoppies need HEAPS of work, and havnt done wheelies on the RG in ages :(

[FROSTY]

Im gonna tell Imm gonna tell--Alex was wondering why your chain never seems to last on the postie bike :blah:

[Two Smoker]

LMAO, Alex told me about a postie in New Lynn, and he has gone through a clucth in 4000kms and BOTH REAR SHOCKS after 9000kms..... hes been getting the CT110 FULLY airbourne, and he regularly pulls wheelies too lol, Alex was the one that mentioned the wheelies to me when i first started lol....

[FROSTY]

Oh for the record guys --Alex has specially modified chrises postie bike.
rear luggage rack 100mm furhter back and smaller front carrier to enablle easier monos.--Something about saving front tyre wear.........

What time you headed to the track man if all is fine.

[Motoracer]

Sweet!! See ya in the afternoon then TS! (if it's fine, if not what time are you starting your road ride?)

LB, I will head out in the van. I always try to get there at about 10 but somehow when I get there it's always 11. :pinch: This time I'll be putting my very best efforts to be there at 10-10.15. The track will be opening at 10:30.

Dunno what the knobblies are gunna handle like in the wet but yea, it'll be a great ride anyway!! :Punk:

Being the super cool guy FF is, he is going to put the weather report and track condiotions in here tomorrow morning. So I'll just check in here and we can decide what to do then.

Despite heavey rain overnight and in the early hours of the am, its not too bad, patchs of blue sky, sun is out atm, slight brezze, heavey cloud to the west, grey to the north, , slight cloud to the south at higher alltitude.

Track is wet, but if we don't get any rain this am I guess the wind and the cars will take care of that.

I hope it fines up in Puke/SH22, etc for a great days riding down there today! :niceone:


Zed

[Motoracer]

Ok, I am off to the track then. Thoes going for a road ride, down 22, you guys should meet at the gate at Pukie raceway at 10:30. If weather turns shit, we can all go on a road ride starting at 10:30 - 10:45 from there then unless you have other plans. If weather is good, track dudes will stay on the track and remaining dudes wanting to go down 22 can split up from us and blast off from there.

It's up to you guys. See ya!!

[Firefight]

Just been up to the top of Puke hill, from there, clear blue sky can be seen sou east of the bombays, still patchs of blue sky over puke, however more dark cloud is coming from the sou west, still no rain, and :sunny: trying its best to shine. wind increased to about 7 knots, puke hill was just starting to get covered with cloud as I left.

Hope it works out ok for track dudes.

F/F

[Marmoot]

Looks like I'm not riding today....darn
Just discovered wof expired last week, and back tyre as bald as my helmet
(and bank balance.....so cant get back tyre for another 2 weeks.....)

what a day off........

Good luck for youse doing riding

[Two Smoker]

I couldnt make it either :(..... im just about to go work on the farm :( oh well i will DEFINATELY be at Papakura Autobahn tomorrow.Hey MR which ride are you going on???? the one with KB????

[Motoracer]

It was great to finally have tire warmers and go full tits straight off the pits!

However just after starting to get the feel for it all after 1 and a half sessions, my exhaust pipe came loose due to rivets breaking off so I had an early retirement. I'll be going back there next weekend though, so it's all good.

I'll be going on the KB ride, despite the fact that trashy backed out!

Thanx a million FF for re-riveting the exhaust pipe for me!! :)

[Firefight]

Despite the overcast weather, it turned out to be a good day at Puke,, about the quietest I have seen it, no doubt due to the clouds, track was dry most of the am, few light showers soon dried off.

Shame about you muff MR, and also Bruce having to retire due to puncture, good to see Darryboy out there going hard, good one mate.

And John the mono king gave us a few good demos of his skill.

Nice to catch up with you Dave and your young fella, hope you two had a good afternoon together.

F/F

[Motoracer]

Yep, Darryboy you were doing real well out there!

[Two Smoker]

So what were your times MR???? Im sorry i couldnt make it, but just think where the funds are going :shifty: Should be good to have you on the XR, this time i promise i will try and keep up LOL......

[Two Smoker]

Oh and BTW, if i have my leaathers back i will be there next week :niceone: im hoping to do some mods to improve my times.....

[Motoracer]

[Two Smoker]

Still I was happy to get the two dry runs in.

Unfortunately I was busy with family from O/S who are leaving on Monday.
