Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[GurlRacer]

No not joking, don't some people just make you sick?? I think there is some teenage hoons around here, and I just copped it. Meh!

Unfortunately I'm away at Rally New Zealand this weekend (YAY about time!) so maybe next weekend?? Or am I in Vanuatu then? I can't remember! :lol:

[yungatart]

Any you guys still doin weekly rides, I'm keen for something this thursday after work or sometime saturday.

1.30 BP Taradale Rd Napier on Saturday..there should be someone there...

Yeah you may have copped some flack due to someone elses hooning around your street and that's one thing but the comment about your father is nothing less than disgusting and lower than low.
:angry2: Fark there are some pathetic people out there.

[Spyke]

When is the next weekend ride?? :D I'm keen to go!

Especially since one of the residents down the road threw something at my car last night coz I was going "too fast" - didn't exceed 60kmph at maximum, it's just that I took the corner faster than they can (at 40km) and my car sounds loud... he ended up calling Mum and I "s!uts" and his wife called Mum "A leg of mutton" and said "Your father deserved what he got!" :angry2:

Along with many other nasty things... so I'd love to see what they'd do if 10 bikes parked up our road, they wouldn't wanna yell abuse like that when we're wearing helmets :)


I live down the same street as you guys, was it the family with alot of cars over the road?

I have refrained from replying to this cos I am a bit angry. I still don’t know what to say. Sorry this has happened but I don’t think giving them the bash will help cos we aren’t there to support you during the rest of the time. However if you think a visit from us would help just send me a PM.
Take care you two and have a blast out with the big boys and their toys. You could score a great weekend. Probably wet under foot but the sky might be sunny. Have a blast.

No ride for me this weekend as SP has my bike for the weekend. Cheers all

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Sure it wasn't just Itchy kicking Moo out of the bed?

.

Hahahahaha No poor little Busiea was the one that got the boot. We both woke up at the same time and as we jumped outa bed, poor little Busiea flew through the air and landed some distance from da bed. Then nearly got trampled in the rush for the door. Then he got booted outside only to get the better of me as he was standing at the bedroom door pleading his case later on. :angry: So we let him in and returned to the norm. That is, no room in the bed for us. <_< However some time later he proceeded to make “ I want to be sick “ :2guns: sounds, so out he went where he chucked up bits of rat :blink: on the lawn. So all in all not a good night for man or beast.

[BigG]

That was a good write up Steve thanks for that, I would have liked to have been there but I had some bad news on Thursday Doc tells me it will be three months before I'm in the saddle because of the water works.
Good to see Yamaha and Susuki are keeping together. I thought if a race is declared wet you can ride wets seems a bit ridiculas to me.

[BigG]

Got my boy to put some cable in ground to a house sight and some bloody low lifes went and floged it, there's some real ars-----'s about includeing that lot from Taradale what a thing to say. They said it so watch it come back and bite them eh!

[yungatart]

Bugga G! 3 months, eh? Well at least you'll be right for summer riding!

[Ascott]

Hi all sorry to hear "g" i do have a bit to do with water, as you do, but I believe your problem is a touch out of my league, but hey if you want me to have a go just call me!:soon::Punk: thanks again MSTRS I think? sp okay John! then I know I got it right! It may be a bit "wank" but I think it looks the dogs bollocks! but you wait 'till the rotors arrive it will all make sense, I think/hope once again thanks and cool bananas! you will get your reward in "FLAME" Okay 'till the 'morrow hang loose, and see you all then

No 'reward' necessary or wanted. Consider it practice for the ones to follow.
I suspect that if BigG sees you approaching with a stilson and plunger, he might discover the secret to breaking WR 100m sprints:laugh:

Great road, good feed at the cafe.

Thats my lot for the year, enjoy your rides folks.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Did I see you in Tangoio around 3.30ish? Nice passing maneuver if it was. Around a car on a left hand corner. That driver must a got a hell of a fright. Sounded blood impressive. I was in the paddock shifting the cows break feeding line.

You might have to George. I work every weekend for the next 2 months. Some Sundays I can ride from 11 to 3 but other than that I am stuck here. Never mind bring on the summer.

Take care over the next few weeks Tony. Thinking of you mate.

No didnt know about this.
Brookfield rd is on 1.3km long. 1.9km long if they used Jessep rd as well so it would be more drags than top end end flying sprints.

Cliffhanger is on the same day

hey Rob did you watch the Super bikes last night ? Lots of Carnage due to a Y spilling oil witch is unherd of.:blank:

I put it on DVD to watch tonight and started to watch it over breaky this morning. I am sure I saw a Zuki out the front. So if Zuki take the lead we drop oil on the road and if the only bike left standing is a Zuki we red flag the race……:shit:…….:laugh:

It was all a bit scary for sure. Will watch the rest of it tonight. A lot of nice bikes damaged.

Yep home safe and sound now. Always great to catch up with you lot despite the circumstances for me being there. Tart and Mstrs, once again thank you for all you guys have done for me this week. I really appreciated it.

[Ascott]

So playtime tomorrow? And rob that was a racing incident, that silly bugger Haga just rode into the side of the 'Suki rider making a legitimate overtaking manoeuvre! lol p/t

[MSTRS]

So playtime tomorrow?

Could be. Perhaps.
Och...who am I kidding.
Of course.

[Grumpy]

That was a good ride today guys. Had a quick check when I got home and the undies were okay so that slippy corner can't have been that bad afterall. :laugh:

Cheers for the company. Very enjoyable.

[Ascott]

Yeah sorry for chuckling, but it was like watching an action replay of Dooly and I a couple of weeks back, lol. We may have to dub it "Doolys' corner" or "undies" maybe even "budgie-smugglers bend", okay so that's a work in progress! I have to agree it was as usual a great day, great ride and great company! Sorry you had to wait so long for me, it's just as well you are not a long married couple or you would have been at each others throats by the time I got there! (that is not to imply that you are "partners" or anything........errrrrr yeah I know, when your in a hole stop digging!...........errrr oh crap! See you next week????:love:

[speights_bud]

sweet as, saw a blue and white gixxer, didnt get much of a look though.

Went out to the kart track today and played pit crew for Aero165 today. Not sure what we didnt fix/change on the pocket bikes today :P

Some arsehole during the night poured water into the tank of his bike, and beer into one of his others, neither bike would start as the plugs were saturated when i took them out, then draining the tank i found shitloads of water in the bottom before fuel came out, then the carb bowl was also full of water (being lowest point). :bash:

Thought maybe something stupid happened if it rained overnight, (bike were left outside) but then found the second bike with beer in the bottom of the tank when that wouldn't start and in the carb bowl also.

Meant the guys missed out on practice and nearly missed the first race :angry2::angry2::angry2::angry2::angry2:


What a prick whoever that guy was.

[DeltaBravo]

Sounds like the weekend rides are happening more often, stopped at BP 2 or 3 times over the winter, but, no one turned up. Hope to ride with you all again soon. cheers DB

Saw an ad for a motorcycle sprint on Brookfields Rd, Meanee on Sunday. Sign on is from 8am. It meantioned a competition licence is required. Could be a bit of fun.

[robertydog]

Have just booked some accomodation in Wanganui for boxing day races. Still vacancies in town. Fast or last.

1km is plenty long enough to reach 300k and then have 300m left to wash it off :clap:

Apparently there is spectator areas at the start and finish only.

[MSTRS]

We're not riding today...garden duty calls.
But tomorrow we are heading to Dannevegas to guide Mom and Maha back to ours by the best roads the Bay has to offer.
Not sure of time yet - will get a text when they leave Masterton - but I suspect that 10.30 at the BP southend will be about right, for anyone that wants to join us.

[BigG]

Hi every body just got of Hospital had another 5 day stint things just aint going good.
Some dude is going to try and crack the 340 mark at Carterton to-day I think the same sprint as Rob did last year. This other drag in Napier you can get a day licience for $20 and an entry fee of $25 I think, its a standing 1/4 and not a running 1/4 so I suppose if you want to stuff your new bike up then go Rob, running 1/4 is better lets you get up their. The dude trying to bust 340 is riding a susuki but it is turbo charged.:niceone:

[Grumpy]

Sorry to hear that Big G. Sure hope things turn the corner for you soon.

Went down to the sprints this morning and saw a couple of Rob's runs. He was leading the time sheets when I left.

Thats one pwerty R1 Rob. How did the day finish up?

[Dooly]

Hi every body just got of Hospital had another 5 day stint things just aint going good.

Bloody hell George, you aint having any luck. What a run you're having.
Were you back in Royston?

I'm bored shitless here at home, soul destroying boredom sitting around, weeks to come. The dude stretched my leg and all the tendons/muscles etc an extra 2cm to match my good leg, after the new hip. Thought it was ok before, but what would I know eh? Said it will be painfull for a while lol.

Started the bikes today, revved the shit out of the Duc, felt good.!:2thumbsup

[robertydog]

Had a bit of a run today at the drags . Gee its bloody hard work i can tell ya getting away quickly.
We even had the plod set up down the track beaming their radar getting top speeds at the 1/4 mile mark. Great turn out and what an awesome day
So....................10.96sec 1/4 mile time and the plod got me at 217kmph.

You think we need to strap the front forks of your bike, and/or lift the rear? :wari:

Had a video around here somewhere of a stockish ZX-10 doing 9.9's, he's just done the pipes and strapped the front end so it stayed down easier....

Apparently they were having problems with the Pneumatic Quick shift on it,
Also told that because the road, unlike the proper Drag strip, is cambered and the wide flat rear tire it didn't want to track a straight line.

Being heavily involved with drags when Thunderpark was around I can say that successfully getting a fast bike down the track and getting the optimum out of it is an artform.
Its harder than it looks, especially getting a good launch and your time Rob looks impressive given that it was the road.

[cowboyz]

he would have gone faster if he had painted it green.


top marks. I intended on coming down for a looksee but a few too many the past couple of nights resulted in me snoozing on the couch.

And coughing and spluttering.

I was there, man thats a sexy bike you have there.
The first run he did it got stuck in first, poor bike.
a heap of rz/rd 350's down there.
That 125 elinsnore cross bike could motor once it actually got going.

Working on the write up.... only got home at 2 O'clock this arvo, been in welly-town for a couple of days.

Qualified Third (beaten By a 250 and a south island Rider). But didnt complete full qualifying time available, trying to preserve tires etc.

First Race DNF, Fuelling issues.

Second Race 1st Place, Quite a long race so just Pressured, pushed and poked until the other guys crashed out :Playnice:

Third Race 3rd Place, No point crashing trying to beat the South Island riders who aren't competing for overall championship points. So just played the following Game :)

Whooo whooo look at me…. I am posting on K/B. That’s a good thing. It means I am not poking around the race bike nor am I at work. I should be at work and will be soon but you are right Chicky we are proud of our litter but then all parents are aye…..

This race bike has been a great way to do family time and I recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it. It is as cheap a motor sport as you can get and it is something all the family can do. If it wasn’t for W we would have had bike issues a long time ago but that’s how you learn. W is a good teacher and he has cut years off our learning time. We only ever expected to run in the pack this year and learn but with the support of so many people, Warrick, Gary FiveStar etc we are lucky to be able to let Patrick use his talents to do more than that. It gets under the skin and it is not often you think about anything else. It is always the bike that you catch yourself day dreaming about when you should be focused on work. Not to mention the hours of bike work that gets done in work time. With the win last weekend it has given us all a boost for the week. It is not so much the feeling of loss when you don’t win as the frustration of “why isn’t the bike going well?

Ahhh see what I mean. So many here have been there and done that and had the same experience as we have but it is worth the time and effort to have experienced what it can be like. You don’t need a super bike to have a great day out. Sure that would be great for the rider but to compete in the race at any level is great.

So Chicky how is it in the big wet windy city? Oh that’s right you are in Auckland not Wellington hahahahaha

Time for work. Can’t ride with the group today got another little thing I want to achieve today. So good to be alive. Take care you lot :yes: And thanks for all the support.

At the moment the weather up here is making me feel like I'm back in Welly. However, hasn't stopped me riding to and from work though....

Will now have to officially hand the president of the wimpy club title over to....... Well thats for you guys to decide hehehe:laugh:

Great lunch mate, but think I had too much Chardonay & Merlot. Oh, and beer.:done:
Healing well, seem to be way ahead of schedule what others are at 3 and a half weeks.
Gonna see if I can get on the quad today.
Reckon if I can get on the Speedy, all it will take is a crutch cable tied to the frame and I'm away.:Punk:

Your probs getting better mate?

Nice to hear thing are progressing nicely, don't go forcing the issue though, you don't want to go taking a backwards step in the healing process.
Good news mate.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

don't go forcing the issue though, you don't want to go taking a backwards step in the healing process.
Good news mate.

See I told you ^^^^^^^^^

We hung around for a while and teased the dogs but it became apparent you were out. Good to know you are out and about mate. We went back to Warricks and sat in the shade and had tea. Hahahaha Two bloody old fellas sitting in the shade and havin tea. :eek: :laugh:

Don’t push it on the rehab cos it will bit you and you will be back to the start. Just a nice balance. It is not getting on the quad that is the problem it is when it jerks sideways and your reaction is to balance yourself that the damage might get done.
Aye you are a big boy but mate I have seen the result of pushing it to soon. We will return in the near future. Had a blast down the road and back and that was good therapy for me. :shifty: Whooo whooo clean dry roads and no bacon. I :love: da Gixxer. She is getting old like me but she has not got to the tea in the shade stage.......:laugh::laugh:

Nice x-ray. That is going to set off the scanner at the airport...:shit:.....

[yungatart]

That hip joint looks mighty pretty, Dooly!! As others have said, don't push your rehab...better to wait a little longer and know that it is all ok.

Glad to hear you are on the mend too, G.

Had a wee bit of surgery myself on Friday, painkillers taste better when washed down with wine:mellow:

It was so hot yesterday, you old fellas wouldn't have wanted to be in the sun, wearing all your kit. Tea in the shade sounds sensible...when did you guys become sensible?????

[Dooly]

Tried the bikes for size.

Can get on the quad kinda, but the battery's flat.......damn!
On charge now.

Ducati, not a hope in hell.

Triumph, still need to get the leg up about 8 inches, hmmm.......back to the drawing board, and lazi-boy.:doctor:

I did hear today you had a bit off. Jan came over for lunch and told all. Sounds as if it all went ok so that’s good.

:Oi: Sensible? :Pokey: I was with Warrick remember. :rolleyes: Besides that we had muffins and it is good to take tea with Muffins. Specally berry muffins. :whistle: I was going to take tea with Dooly and sit in the shade there but as he was out boozing we had to go back to W's place and eat them in the shade. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Da good thing was they had cooled down enough to eat them by then. Mary Mooo :love: was a bit slow in cooking them in the morning and we had to take them hot.

But they would be cold and stale by the time I got them to you Chicky. That wouldn’t be very nice. And do you "Take Tea" in the big city? :confused:

Yes Rob. I have noted that as well. Lots of pig pens in civilian cloths. The laser is a bugger cos the detectors will tell you, you are busted and are hard to beat. Might have to do some quick U turns.

Wasp was commenting on getting a lot of laser strikes in the last week. I wonder if they are playing with it around his part of the road. Hmmm might have to be careful for a while till we get to see where and what they are using it for and what vehicles it is associated with. Might have to get a power commander after all. Da 750 might be a bit slow.

Today is was with a Blue pig pen and normal :Police: car. I reckon they were just playing. Probably doing some training with it.

[Dooly]

The missus got the detector yelling out 'laser alert', last week and it was a pig with a laser gun standing behind wall in Fernhill. She picked it up ages away.

But I have noticed, and another guy told me too, that hi tech agri machinery like the big buck tractors in fields give off a laser alert.

Was blasting down the back road to the Patangata a few months back, doing a couple a hundy or so and got the 'laser alert' scream in my ear!
Hit the brakes, nothing anywhere........weird.
Came back the normal way towards Havelock on Middle road and got several laser alerts in my ear. Noticed quite a few big tractors working in the fields in the area where the signals went off.

Mentioned it to a mate who said he has had the same thing around agri machinery, dunno why.
Also another mate who's a cop said the same thing with his detector, and he also said there is only 1 laser in the Bay, well there was when he told me, maybe they're trying more, as he said they are getting more Highway Patrol very soon in the Bay.

But, best not to assume everytime you hear the laser alert that its cocky on his Fergy huh?:confused::Police::laugh:

Team Kiwi is running on empty and it is hard to imagine they can make it for much longer. I am not sure that they should have continued but good luck to them. I see they have the car out on the track again but being towed home, again, was not a good look. I hear they have it sorted and will start. Good luck TK but it might be close to the end of the line.

I have always admired da Rat. Not a good name for him as he would have to be the "Mr Nice guy" of this sport. Maybe that’s why he struggles to make it to the top. No such problems for Greg. What an abrasive person but at the end of the day he is a great driver and driving a good car with a good team.

[Dooly]

Woohoo, rode the Speed Triple before.
5 weeks to the day after a hip replacement.:shit:
Fuck I'm going stir crazy!!!!

Went out to the shed as I do most days, muck about do nothing.
Start the bikes twice a week, had them running, always look, ponder, wonder if I can get on them yet.

Ducati, no way in hell.

Speedy, hmmm.....no way last week.
Wheeled it outside.....hmmm, get a block of wood about 8 inches high, stand on it, a bit of a wiggle....oh yeah!
Off I go, no helmet, no safety gear, gumboots, oh god I am such a bad boy with no gear, spank, spank!

End of the road and back a few times, about 6km or so, saw 160, wicked.

Back up the hill, had to make sure I stopped right by the wood.
Ahhh life's a bit better now.:done:

I think I need to rest, bye.:mellow::confused:

Oh and Rob, PM me when you're coming out next time.
Take the Duc out for a run will ya, has been over 2 months, needs a ride mate.

[MSTRS]

Great news Tony. No wonder you are stoked.

[BigG]

Good news Tony ya bleedin twit 160 with no gear, what you whare gumboots for wern't raining was it. You be fit for a ride to Manfeild on Sat then. Hey mate your a tuff bloke but be safe that block of wood could have shifted and you loose ballance and the bike gets scratched:lol::dodge:Well done

They breed us tough in the country.
(Ok we were townies for all but the last 6 yrs):laugh:

But its irrelevant as I can't take my block of wood and crutch with me when I want to ride. Not enough flexibilty yet to swing over the seat on the ground.
But I'm sure a tootle or two over the next week or so will help, as long as I don't have to dismount!.
God its good living down HW50.
Fortunately the leg I put down is not my bung one.
Hope the dragon does'nt find out!!!!
She's going away on a horsey thing all Labour weekend, so all on my lonesome, might be time to venture further.

Was allowing 12 weeks min, to ride again, now hoping 8.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Whooo whoooo you do that thing. :first:
Now that’s what I like to read on here.
Well Done. :niceone:

Just arrived here. Off to Manfield tomorrow to support Paddy. I have a small issue with a FI warning light coming on at odd intervals for no apparent reason. I want to get that checked out before I ride the 750 again. Shop too busy with assembling new bikes to take a look this week.

F1 light. If it references the fuel injectors on the dash run 3 loads of injector cleaner through it and see what happens. Mine did the same and it took three tanks of fuel to fix it but it did fix it. It will make it worse at the start but then it should come right. See you at the track John. Cheers

I find that bizarre.
And it only adds to what people have been telling me about bike shops here.
Looks like I will be getting work from some of our car customers with bikes as they've had a gutsfull of the shoddy service around the place.
It takes no time or fuckall to check something like that and can be fitted in anywhere if you are organised.
We make sure we fit any of our customers in somehow if urgent.
Its just basic corteous service and a habit we've gotten into.
If the problem cant be fixed at the time, something can always be sorted somehow.

Oh, and on the plus side, managed to get on the Ducati this arvo, with the trusty block of wood.
Might do a qiuet tiki tommorrow arvo.......

[Stickchick]

Got a text from Mstrs a while ago stating that Paddy is top of the table. Congrats Paddy!!!!!:love: Looks like we have something to celebrate next weekend. I will bring the Jager

I eagerly await the ride report Steve.

Had this with the TL , was related to the engine cutting issue , Suzuki electrics of the era are a bit rubbish and can cause problems , just check wiring plugs , clean terminals and use some electrical contact grease. Should sort it out.

[GurlRacer]

Thanks for a FANTASTIC day guys and gals!! I simply loved it :)

No more to add to that, except, I FREAKING LOVE MY KB FAMILY :)

Tis 4.20 and the alarm clock has not gone off yet. Today’s the day. Final shot to secure the VIC Club 150 Street stock winter series. Outa bed and get the bacon cooking. Patrick is not with us this morning as he has a ride to the track with Lani. We have 80% of the van packed as we were out last night. Bacon cooking and stuff packed in the van and the chillybin and we are outa here. 5.40. We are late. Best txt Patrick to check he is on the road. Sure is. Dannevirke and the clouds are dark and wet looking. Another wet day at Manfield. Da rain sets in as we hit the Gorge. As we come out the other side things look a bit brighter and Patrick Txted to say he has arranged for us to share a shed. Unfortunately we do not have the Pagoda from Five Star. We are going to miss that this month. It really makes the pit area like home and keeps us dry. We arrive at the track to find the shed is small and dark and quite full. Thanks to the people that offered it to us but we will opt for the grass area. As the wind is strong we struggle to put up our Pagoda but within an hour we take it down. The wind has bent and broken it. The sky’s cloudy but it is sorta sunny and dry. Let’s wing it on the grassy shingle area and make the most of the day. Bike out and pit area set.

Check the bike over and make sure tyre pressures and fuel etc are all set. Most of the work was done last week and a final touch up on front brakes and shock finished yesterday. I said no 11th hour stuff to be done on the race bike but with parts hard to find and postage taking time we only finished the bike on Thursday. Scary stuff.

Time to qualify. Bike starts and runs while Patrick gets the gear on. That’s usually a good start to the day. Off he goes and starts his warm up laps. The bike looks and sounds great. He circulates and looks like he is in the groove. Zane is still running in his bike from last minute rebuilds so is taking it carefully. The time sheet showed we had pole position. However we know that means little in this sport and prepare the bike for the first race. I note Zane’s bike got a few good laps in after a shaky start and am aware that this bike is going to be strong.

We bring the bike in and do our usual checks of tyre pressure and fuel. I note the front tyre has lost 7 psi and the rear has gained a little more than we were happy with. More pressure in the rear and a lot of poking at the front and discussion. The decision is made to put the spare rim and tyre on the bike for the race. We set the pressure for the front and the bike is ready. We put 30psi in the front tyre that has been taken off the bike and had a cuppa tea and lots of bantering in the pits to ease the stress. Half an hour later a reading of 20psi shows the tyre has a leak. Thank goodness Warrick has taught us procedure or we would have DNF on the first race with a flat tyre. Relief all round but nervousness about what is going to happen. The call goes out and Patrick is off to the grid. We are all happy with the bike and the race lights go out. Again Patrick is eaten up at the start by 3 bikes but with reconditioned forks and fresh brakes he out brakes most other bikes and runs in second place till he can pass Zane. They go head to head with Patrick taking the lead outa the corners and Zane riding past him on the straights. It became frustrating to see the power Zane’s bike is putting out and watching him take the lead time and time again in the straight parts of the track. They rode a great race and fought to the end. As the 125 GP bike had 10 laps to do their thing they lapped the 150s. Checkered flag came out and Patrick came in second. The bike had done another tortuous race but survived. In to the pits and the usual checks and measurements are taken. Again the rear tyre is too hot and has gone off on lap 5. More pressure please is the call and up she goes. Fuel is calculated and the plug read. We have the fuel calculation from Martin and with that and the plug in hand Gary and I look at each other with a note of despair. I wish W was here. We talked about how lean the bike was running and spent time looking down the plug hole and looking deep in to the plug. We had used far too little fuel per lap but the plug and piston read ok. Good actually so we left the bike for a few minutes and sat down and discussed what had happened. It finally dawned on me to divide the fuel used by ten not eleven as we were lapped by the faster bikes. Relief as we got the calculation we wanted for fuel use. We were back on track. Bike was finished and parked for race two.

Lunch was had by all and a good time was shared with the usual bantering from George and Rob. Tis great to have you two around and share your knowledge and friendship. However it is a bit unsettling to see you both still ride Yamahahahahahahas. Now here is what happens when you get relaxed at the track.
First call to the Dummy grid for 125 and 150 street stocks. Panic in the pit. Warm the bike and find Patrick. Second call for blab la bla. Holly shit are we going to make it. Adrenalin running high. Final call for 125s bla blab la. We don’t need this. We don’t have the championship in the bag yet. Off he goes and we all head to pit wall. What a stupid thing to happen. Lack of concentration on my part but we made it. Or not. Here he comes back through the pits with the bike at speed. Martin is already at our pit and holding the bike as I run over. Dam I am getting old. To hard to run too far for this old man. What the F*&% is wrong they are going out the gate. No back protector Patrick yells from in the helmet. Leathers open and off and back protector goes on. I had the sinking feeling cos the pit gates would be closed before he got back. Gloves on and away. I watch with despair as he disappeared round the corner to the gates. Had he missed it? A short gap and he rode down pit lane and out on to the track and off on the warm up lap. Shit that was close. It was only because Gary held the pit gate open, physically, that Patrick made it to the race. When Gary patted Patrick on the back as the gate opened the first time he realised he had no amour on. Bloody hell what an adrenalin rush.

Round to the starting grid and all was set. We had to finish the race and keep the shiny side up to win the championship. Lights out and off. Patrick stayed in second and third place to the first corner where he took the lead. The 125s came around for the first time at a tremendous speed. I was watching as the 125 bikes headed to the first corner. I couldn’t believe the speed they kept up with very late breaking looking obvious. One of the bikes just couldn’t do it and spat the rider off in style. No movement from the rider prompted us all to call for the red flag. The marshals, of course, were on to it and we had a red flag in no time and the bikes came in to the pit lane to wait for the ambulance to clear the track. Patrick commented on the bike feeling flat. We discussed this and decided it was the adrenaline rush from nearly missing the start. Off for a restart.
Again Zane rode around Patrick in the straights and Patrick would take the lead back in the corners. It has been obvious for a long time that Zane’s bike has more power than we could squeeze outa our 150 so it was, that we ran second in most of the races for the season.
So it continued, they fought it out on the track and Patrick worked hard to gain the lead. He did often as they circulated for nine laps. Again beaten in to first place by Zane. Frustrating but that’s motor sport.
We had the championship in the bag in the last race of the season. What a great way to end the season for a new race team and rider. Patrick gave us a demonstration of how to wear the middle of a race tyre out in the pits and great cheers went up as the smoke cleared. We have done it and hugs all around. We missed Donna and Warrick on this special day but thank them for their time and support and know we can do the summer series with them soon. No testing or measuring of anything as the bike was pushed in to the van and the pits cleared up. Off to the Pub for a beer and wait for prize giving. Beers all round and platters of food was the order of the day. We sat and chatted and had a ball. After an hour the rest of the support team joined us from the track. Some were marshalling and some were with others they support. We had most of the crew with us less George and Rob who had to ride home and other places and Warrick and Donna who had other important family things to get done. A great time was spent sitting joking and bonding as friends after what was a great race season. What a great place and space to be in. Well done Patrick.

We moved inside and Patrick received his trophy for a job well done. With a lot of hugs and back slapping we sorted out who was going with whom and we set off for home. Now that trip has some stories to tell that make for as exciting reading as the race day it’s self but that will have to stay in house or maybe someone could report on that on their Bebo page.

We did it. Thanks FiveStar and thanks to the whole team. I can’t thank you all enough. We did it in our first year and it shows what a team is. With out any one person and that includes the support team this would have been an also ran team for winter 08. But it was a win Thanks to you all.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Patrick Doohan , last but not least -For putting up with us as we pushed and poked at the bike and for giving you a bike that was not up to the job at the start of the campaign.

You are talented and we look forward to watching what ever comes in the future. Well done young fella and thanks for sharing your talent with us all as we chased a dream. Rock on and keep ‘doohan’ it.
