[Hoon]

Yep I'm planning to go weather pending.

[Darryboy]

And that you ride like a nana.
(That's not my opinion, TS - I was just reminding you of your oversight. I think this might be the first post you've forgotten to mention how slow you are. You must've been too excited at the prospect of carving trails of sparks everywhere...)



Err... did I mention you forgot to say what a slow rider you are?

[Motoracer]

TS - you forgot to mention that you're very slow. And that you ride like a nana.

Goodpoint FS! Leading the group on the weekend through the twisites in the wet must have gotten to his head. Did ya forget how slow you are you nana! :msn-wink:

[loosebruce]

mmmm i am very very tempted i see what the weather is looking like

but this is my poor week, monthly bike payment comes out this week

poor week is every week for me cajun, my bank also loves me, but i'll still make it. Have you had your K4 on track yet? Mmmmm K4 handling goodness.
Be good to see you there if you can make it.

[Two Smoker]

Oh yeah, im a slow nana, and after ive put some times down on the bike, im going to see if i can walk around the track faster :niceone:

But yeah FS, mmmmmmm sparks... hehehe

[Motoracer]

So... if he is a slow rider, and he was leading, it must've been a very slow ride.:spudwhat:

Yup very!!! We were overtaken by soom hooligans of about 70-90 years of age on their flash as Honda cities, scooters, oh and also I am pretty sure the dump truck was catching up to us everytime between it's stops to pick up the wheelie bins.

hahaha well i got bike payment once a month, $400 espically since i forgot and transfered all my money to my savings account on friday, and once i transfered it there i can't get it back out again. So this week pay is for the bike that teach me
nah not yet had the k4 out on the track, most of the times i want to go weather to shit.

Like weather's a problem.......

[vifferman]

LMAO :lol: you mean to say i stayed infront of something :gob: ??????From the sounds of it, you just barely managed to stay ahead of the wheelie bins. And then only because they were busy doing wheelies...

[Motoracer]

:killingme

[Wonko]

Seeing as TS is so slow on his small bike, I should be able to 4 times as fast as him on Saturday wahoo, sub 20 second laps :eek:

Another virgin will be having his cherry popped this Saturday on the track

[Cajun]

Like weather's a problem.......

I got a real bike dc:< i don't don't mind riding in the rain just arn't gonna go around a track in the rain i don't know

[Two Smoker]

I got a real bike dc:< i don't don't mind riding in the rain just arn't gonna go around a track in the rain i don't knownah it will be sweet, there is only 7 corners and 2 straights...... not much to remember....

And because you have a REAL bike all the more reason to get out there :niceone:

[Cajun]

yeah not to much to remember, but still enough for me to get cocky in the wet, and do damage, i must say i am a rather fast rider in the wet. so i will go faster than i should and could be a problem espically on a track, last time i was on a track, i got a cocky, hence reason why our 600 bandit had no tires by end of day at taupo

[dss3]

This info is probably allready on the site somewhere, but how much it cost??? The entry fee thingy I mean.

[Motoracer]

What a great day! Everything went well (for myself anyway). I found out that the front brake pads were all worn out so I was having to brake WAY earlier, even then I ran wide a few times but still stayed on the track.

The front tire has been on the bike for fuck knows how many Ks, so it was making things "interesting" for most of the day. Anywho, I was there on the track on a beautiful day and there was no way in hell I was going back home with out doing better than a 1.05. I gave it all I had on the final session and I was pleased to come back and see that I had managed a few 1.04s! :2thumbsup

A new set of race brake pads and a change of front tire should have me ready for the club champs at Pukie next month. Can't wait!! :2thumbsup

Thank you Quasie, mini-me and 750Y for timing me!!

[Two Smoker]

Thats awesome MR!!!!! 1:04's and that means new tyres + new pads 1:03's??????

Check the post rider thread out too lol......

[erik]

Here are a few of the better pics I got, I took about 70, but most of them were blurry. Ah well, that's part of the beauty of digital cameras, you can rely on luck to get good pictures and not have to pay for lots of film ;)

I couldn't figure out how to post them in the kiwibiker gallery, so I put them on webshots:

http://community.webshots.com/album/174870685XTyjfR

(edit: The same images (but downsized a bit) are now also in the kiwibiker gallery here:
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/4images/categories.php?cat_id=43 )

[wkid_one]

but most of them were blurry. Ah well, that's part of the beauty of digital cameras,
With a digital camera, you need to prefocus the camera prior to the bike coming in to frame (set the focus). Aim at the general area the bike is going to be when you want to take the pic - half depress the button and then wait until the bike comes in to frame. This way you will get away from either blurry pics or pics with no bikes in them

[SpankMe]

I couldn't figure out how to post them in the kiwibiker gallery

I have fixed the gallery and added a category for this event.

That's kinda what I do, I set the exposure manually and then lock the focus to something that's at about the right distance (I hope) and then wait for the bikes to come around the corner.

I think my problem is the shutter speed, and probably how I'm tracking the bikes.

Still, it's a fun challenge :)

[Zed]

What a great day! Everything went well (for myself anyway)...I gave it all I had on the final session and I was pleased to come back and see that I had managed a few 1.04s! :2thumbsupGood to hear and see you getting around the track faster today MR. Great to see Loosebruce & Hoon on the track too.

I enjoyed watching you guys and taking some pics at Castrol corner with Mr Quasi & son, and friend of Loosebruces (sorry forgot your name?)

Will have to get out there again with you guys soon now that I have had my bike dynojetted & k&n filtered...need that new front tyre first though :sly:

Btw, I didn't see Darryboy or Wonko make their track debut today??

Pics uploaded in the gallery.

[k14]

Good stuff MR, soon you'll be talking bout 59's.

Man the track looks dirty, were the drifters up to their usual antics again??

[erik]

I have fixed the gallery and added a category for this event.

Cool. I've added the images to the gallery and resized them a bit to make for easier viewing.

NIce pics erik & zed :niceone: the video footage i got wasn't to shit hot, newbie on the camera :wacko: it was a good day all n all, MR was pretty some most impressive lap times, good shit bro and holding off a rather fast lad on a track dedacated 04 R1, as me, well i got bored in the second session as my rear trye wasn't playing the way i'd like it to, so i took to mud wrestling with my TL by castrol, we both came out rather messy but no damage to either which was a surprise, only to find a nice little stone jammed in my brake lever, locking the front wheel on.
But would you believe it, no RAIN for once :sunny: .
And cheers to F/F for the weather update in the morning, cheers mate.

[Motoracer]

k14: Drifters are as cunty as ever but now days they let them go 1st, then cars, then us, so its not that bad. We still had to adjust our line through the esses by going a bit wider to avoid the crap and Castrol was full of dust later on so we couldn't put the power on too early but it was a pretty sweet day all up!

Far out! Cheers for the pics erik and Zed!! :)

Looks like they beat you to it Quasie. Are you still in bed with all the pretty birds that you picked up from last night? Maybe you should be Austin powers insted of Dr Evil. Yeah baby! LOL :spudbooge :yeah:

P.S. Nice wheelie Bruce! :niceone:

[Posh Tourer :P]

Good stuff MR, soon you'll be talking bout 59's.

Man the track looks dirty, were the drifters up to their usual antics again??

59s!

I'd give you money if you got 59s Motoracer.....

Andrew Stroud is only getting mid-59s on a street gixxer thou

[Quasievil]

Yeah BIG night late getting up, didnt see the point of hurrying as its CRAP WEATHER AGAIN, I was going to go for a quick blat to Raglan but Oh well good family day
Here are my Pics of MR.
Will try and figure out how to put a video of him up ,can I do that ?

[Motoracer]

Cheers Quasie, glad you had good night, have a nice day with the family.:)

Thanx a mill to mini-me again for timing me!!

[Zed]

...Will try and figure out how to put a video of him up ,can I do that ?
You will probably have to upload the movie file/s to another website (have you got webspace of your own through your ISP?) and put a link to it in a KB post.

Looking forward to seeing them if you can nut it out...mini-me might be able to work it out for you? :whistle:

Cheers mate! Your investment has made a big difference. The tire warmers are so cool man! On an actual race, it's going to be awesome to be able to wind it up all the way as soon as the flag goes down.

Hope you had some great rides in the weekend, I know I did! :niceone:

[750Y]

...Thank you Quasie, mini-me and 750Y for timing me!!

no probs MR. good to see You out there. man your times are unbelievable! i could only dream of going that fast! my personal goal is 1.07 which although i set it a couple years back I doubt i've ever reached it. watching you makes me wanna get out there myself but i can't risk my shiny beast trying to keep up. well done man, your progress is insane.
nice to see you other guys out there, Zed, Bruce, Erik, Nick, Hoon, Quasi & co.
see yas next time, & Zed.. better replace that front soon mate.

[White trash]

Holy SHIT!

Bruce did a wheelie!

[Motoracer]

my personal goal is 1.07 which although i set it a couple years back I doubt i've ever reached it.

You'll get that time and beat it no probs. I estimated your time as 1.09 last time round... Next time if we are on the track together, you can follow me if you like and I can follow you as well to see and then comment on what you are doing.

Hey MR ya think you would do that for me to mate ?? my Wife Paula reckons I should be in and have a crack on the track, be slow but fun!!!

[Motoracer]

Hey MR ya think you would do that for me to mate ?? my Wife Paula reckons I should be in and have a crack on the track, be slow but fun!!!

Shit yea man!! Have a go at it by yourself on the very first session of the day and then tell me how you went since it's going to be your first time ever there. I'll give you some tips etc about lines and all that. From that you can then see how you go on the second session. After you feel fairly confident about the track, I'll go out there with you.

Cool question is when, looking at the calendar no more saturdays for a while

[White trash]

Manfield on the 29th. That's a Sunday.

Get ol' Trashy to show you boys what a real goat track's like.

[Motoracer]

Cool question is when, looking at the calendar no more saturdays for a while

Hmmm, yea... I am outta money for track days right now anyway and I'll be saving hard out, down to my last 5 cent coin that I can find under the couch for the AMCC R1 at Pukie and the final round of Vic club at Manfield during September AND I still have to go on my holiday outta NZ between thoes races.

Damn, looks like I am pretty fully booked man.

[Motoracer]

If you want, you could actually go when Twosmoker is going there next. You just have to not go faster than him on the straights and watch his lines through the corners. He flys on his one fiddy!!

[nicko]

Good day out fella's. Bad luck on the slide Bruce, nice work on the lap times MR. Good meeting you other KB guys out there, and thanks for showing me the vid Quasi, nice camera work and great commentary!

By the way MR, you can have those pads dude - might help a bit getting you sorted for the next round.

p.s. I've got some photos which I'll try and throw at the gallery when I get a chance

[750Y]

... Next time if we are on the track together, you can follow me if you like and I can follow you as well to see and then comment on what you are doing.

"Wenier! I want my bike back! Just for a little while....."

[Motoracer]

Cheers for that Nick! I'll see if I can suss out some race pads before my next time out. If I do, I'll just return yor pads.

Bloody awesome wheelies man!!

[Zed]

...see yas next time, & Zed.. better replace that front soon mate.Had a new Avon fitted today, so I'm ready to rumble on a KB ride this weekend hopefully. :niceone:
