Pics from Paeroa

[Motoracer]

Awesome day! Caught up with different KBers every 5 mins of walking through the crowd. Didn't stop drinking beer non stop from the morning till we went home.

Great racing, great company, great weather and some mint chicks!

MINT!

[saul]

Loved it brilliant day.

Took heaps but here are a couple that I really like.

These guys do the business that is for real:rockon:

Bloody computer has just crashed will be back in a minute:sick:

[Crasherfromwayback]

Great pictures....keep em coming!
So who did the winning?

[Motoracer]

Some more awesome street racers.

I can do some pretty funky stuff in Photoshop but I am stepping back from cheating. I tried a lot of settings through out the day on my cam and what you see now is what I shot. Un edited, but it was a bit of a hit and miss job a lot of the time. Specially with the ammount I drunk today!

[Maha]

Thanks man :)

It's a Cannon A530. Doesn't look like much but it's pretty handy. I can't change the lence in it so it's just playing around with the settings. Its 4 X Optical ZOOM and 5 MP.

[saul]

There were few black lines left at this corner:yes:

That aint no GSX-R1000, it's an 04 R1. Had a ride of it on the way back to NP.
Bloody wicked!!!

Your sam shots are actually Chris Seaton bro... Sam couldn't race - No license, even though he is poster boy on the T shirts! Gutted!

Jonno you did so well today, it was a real blast watching you, i came through the pits several times and could not find you to say hi. Saying that we could not find Goblin either, maybe I am blind:laugh:

[Motoracer]

Bloody wicked!!!

Oh ooops then.

My bro told me it was and I was too drunk to notice anyway. I bet it was wicked! You lucky sod!

BTW, I did crop some of the images but most are untouched other than resizing.

Like the one of Lance #99, I almost missed it and the front tire was already on the edge of the frame, so I croped it to balance it.

[Motoracer]

Na, I nammed Sam for bike #8 on the K2 1000. It's Deaths mate Sam.

You were looking mighty fine out there! If you noticed, I mostly took pics of the bright coloured bikes. Cause they were the easiest targets. Specially Haydens red honda was the easiest, hence I've got the most pics of him. Otherwise I was looking for you to take your pics.

Can't wait to race with ya man. Keep it real. :)

[Two Smoker]

How did Nicko and hayden go??? Did Jay race the RS250 or ZX6RR??

[Meekey_Mouse]

Wow, great pics Sudeep!! Thanks for postin them :rockon:

Hope your arm heals up soon eh :)

[kickingzebra]

Nicko was ripping the mince! Hayden was doing mighty fine there too!! Nicko was convincing top 5, even gave Dobbsy a bit of a kicking! Hayden was top 5 too, maybe 4 ish, can't quite remember. Jay wasn't given a leave pass.. gutted, sucks to be him!! LOL

[oldguy]

Nice shot of Nicko Sudeep.

What a great day. The Paeroa weather was up to the high standard I had heard about. Gee, I'm used to hot days in Perth, but that kiwi sun certainly got to me. Took a ride up from Tauranga with about 19 other K.B'rs. Had the use of a VTR1000 for the trip. Met up with digsaw near the info centre and spent the day touring the track with him and meeting the odd K.B'r along the way. Thanks for the complimentary pass Doug. I was impressed with the organisation of the event. Good stuff Paeroa.
Attached a couple of pics: 1. Formula 2 at start/finish 2. Stroud, Sherriffs, Seaton at Westpac Corner (full zoom, a bit blurry).

[Riff Raff]

Cool pics everyone. Had a great day at Paeroa and caught up with a few peeps.

Has anyone got a pic of Deano? - bike #180 in F3.

[CM2005]

Ive got these pics of Jarod, he cut up the inside of #80 Nick Odermatt, look what happened.

that pass was a bit of bullshit aye? Good to see him jump straight back out, good to see love not come round.. did he hurt himself though hope not.

look at the back of loves bike in the first pic of the crash... see superman? yeahyah, thats me.

[CM2005]

:shit: damn, thats no good for anyone! hope it'll heal up okay. any break is a bad one, but hopefully he'll be able to get back on a bike. where abouts was it?

Lowside into the curb leg still under bike.
On turn 3, opposite fathers tavern.
Easily the worst off on that corner all day.

This one?

That's the one.

[Cleve]

Ouch!! I bet that hurt...

[bistard]

You have to feel for Jarrod,thats two at Paeroa,he will not have fond memories at all !!

[Big Dog]

Ouch!! I bet that hurt...

Even from across the street you could see it was broken. Turning his leg did not turn his foot.
Given the noises he was making he was in a lot of pain.

[scott411]

spoke to Jarod this morning, he has 2 broken legs, will be in waikato hospital for a little while.

[Joni]

Damn Scott.... that terrible to hear :(
Poor bugger.

[nadroj]

Well organised Paeroa.

[nadroj]

One more Pic.

[WickedOne]

Well organised Paeroa.

Re: Pic 1

Those swingers are insane, is that guy wearing Chuck Taylors?

[calmone]

You are right Chuck Taylors seem to be the go for the swingers.

[avgas]

that sucks man, hope he keeps racing

[vagrant]

Here are some of mine. These were taken from the corner of the dummy grid road.
Camera is a Nikon D100 with 28-300 lens.
These have been down sized drastically to get them on the site. If anyone wants the full sized originals, PM me and I can dump them to disk. They run about 3 megs and 3000 x 2008 pixels, so will blow up easily to A3.

More to come

[vagrant]

And more
These were taken from part way down the back straight, looking back towards the dummy grid road.
Nicko was pulling some huge wheelies down here, as was the guy on the Aprilla with the bugeye helmet.

[kickingzebra]

Went and saw jared, hes doing as well as can be expected, waiting like a grumpy old nana to get some surgery. He'll be back to racing as soon as he can none the less.

[vagrant]

Still more,
These are taken on the front straight before the start/finish line. The camera just doesn't bring across the speed and the violence of the sound of these bike going past you down the road.:gob:

As for the mystery man:innocent:

[JayRacer37]

How did Nicko and hayden go??? Did Jay race the RS250 or ZX6RR??

Naaah mate, we only have the one decent 600 and no way was I going to risk that the week before the national's at manfeild. Executive decision was made not to do the 250 due to excess cost in getting it there, and a very long straight...the 600's still have the legs..

[Her_C4]

as was the guy on the Aprilla with the bugeye helmet.


And that would be Peter Tanner having a blast :Punk: and pulling the most AWEsome wheelies that I have seen for some time :yes:

[chanceyy]

photos of Deano #180


did you get any of bike 87 in F3?

[svs]

Has anyone got a pic of Deano? - bike #180 in F3.

just the one. looking worried on the dummy grid with shiny new tyres :)

[Buddy L]

Ill add a couple.
The best thing i witnessed was a guy in the motrad class doing small wips on the back straight on the bump at the intersection of pitt exit!!!
And when all the motards came on the track for their race, every one was pulling mono's down the back straight, all at blanace point:rockon:
pic in the bike park of the Kb gang that came down from auckland with my baby on the right!:yes:

[CM2005]

just the one. looking worried on the dummy grid with shiny new tyres :)
haha, went and had a chat to him, pulled the stickers off his tyres for some more grip...:whocares:
who went down in F3 practice? i saw the SV, but not the other bike.. on pitlane entry.

[MacD]

Spent most of the day around the S's, so here's a few pics, including one of Jarod Love as requested.

[MacD]

Who'd be a swinger!? ;)

[MacD]

Spot the 6 cylinders...

[MacD]

And a few F3 pics (More of Frosty in the Frosty thread!)

[Two Smoker]

Gutted you couldnt race the 250 Jay... But ah well... Wicked pictures people... Hope to be out there next year...

[deeknow]

Great day, friggin hot as usual, had the sense to slap some sunscreen on the tops of me feet this year.

[shafty]

Awesome photo's guys - thanks!!

Any shots from the bike parks?

I was there, but was working! :(

[erik]

did you get any of bike 87 in F3?

Sorry, it doesn't look like I did.

[nadroj]

Only real left on course.

[placidfemme]

Heres some of the pics I got on Sunday sitting at the right hander off the straight by Fathers Tavern.

Even managed to get one of Frosty :)

[placidfemme]

And some more :)

[vagrant]

Only real left on course.

That is a very cool shot!

[nicko]

Sweet shots guys! Thanks for the crash ones oldguy. Jared came round the outside at the hairpin and gave me a bit of a bump, guess he didn't like having a little ole triumph in front! Just happy I managed to get going again & it didn't put me out for the day.

In the process of chucking a report up to let you know how the rest of the day went.

Was glad to see you get up, then to get back on the bike and get back into the racing. :rockon:

[zadok]

Judging by this and other Paeroa threads, I must have walked passed heaps of K.B.r's and not even known it! I only saw one other person besides myself wearing a K.B shirt. Wish you would have said hello. Spankme & Firestorm did the righty but.

[Krusti]

Just a couple I took....not edited yet but I'm too lazy this morning!

Hayden reckoned he couldn't miss the gollywog waving at him!

Was good to meet you mate, if it weren't for your Tshirt, seen that somewhere before, I know that face, then I remebered your profile pic.
Hope you enjoyed your holiday here.

cheers John.
