You prick! You never told me that you'd settle for $50.00...

For $50 I will give you 5psi out of EACH tyre (see I'm a genorous guy) and let you have a quick(very) listen to my clutch !

I am getting fairly well over road riding since starting racing, I get bored riding on the staights on the way to patangta let alone longer rides, I have been thinking about selling the Monster on and off for a while now.

I will get my old RD road bike going (just bought a new crank) and use that if I do want to road ride. The duke dont get the use it needs, it sits in the shed most of the time

The duke dont get the use it needs, it sits in the shed most of the time

It would be right at home in my gargre...you could just leave it here, and, because I am really generous, I will let you retain ownership of it...with all the associated costs of course.
I will ride it for you, and not charge a brass razoo for storage!

RDjase

7th January 2010, 17:24

You will just have to give $50 for the 5psi tyre pressure lol

So.......what did you buy G? Yep I liked that XJR I took for a romp in the country, Rob tried to get me bring it home and he asked the sails rep if he would trailer the old ace back and he said not a problem, by the heck I was tempted he even loaned me his computer so I could do a bank transfer but unfortunately I owe the IRD some big dosh on the 15th and didnt have enough to scrape togrther.
But that bike will be there for me cos its got me name on it.

Manfeild trackday tomorrow Saturday 9th Jan. $50.00. Leaving BP Stortford 6.00am SHARP for 8.30am sign in. Rest stop at Woodville, gas up at Feilding BP. Anyone who wants to go, just turn up. ( You will need a current drivers license, cash, and a bike)
4 groups, race bikes, fast, medium ( 180 kph max) slow ( 120kph max and 2 up)

Just advised by organiser to get there as early as possible as they will do a head count and shut the gates at a certain number. Last Jan about 140 bikes, April over 200 with many turned away, so hence the earlier leave time.

Hey Grant you bugger, same, we had a brilliant day . Did Robs tyre make it all the way home? We got home about 5.30 unloaded the bikes and then attended a geriatrics birthday party, I was expecting muellied food a bit of Hank Williams then home and early to bed...not so, that old Johnny is not as mean as we all think there was steak (he must still have his own teeth) and salads for africa, beers wine and even those wee chocolate mints at the end...so suffice to say it was a fitting end to a fantastic day.
What's this Resthome Racing you cheeky bugger ? We prefer MotoGP ..AKA ..Moto GreyPower but hey, maybe we can pick up some sponsorship from MaryDoyle or Summerset retiirement Home. I could even go Direct to Honda and get a new CBRRR ,anyway I digress thanks for putting up the gr8 pics and the dubious company at the track,maybe we think about combining the next one with an overnighter in Palmy so we can have a few beers

Yeah, got home no worries. Rob checked the pressure at Manfeild before we left and again at Woodville and no change. The sudden loss of pressure on track is probably the reason it dumped him. Borrowed some tools off Glen Williams and managed to straighten the gearchange. Next Manfeild day is end Jan with Pacific Club, and Central Districts run another in March/April. Would be keen to do an overnighter as it makes for a long day getting up at 5.30am, riding down, racing and then ride home. Rob got me at 1.19.5 in the last session. Bit sad when my best time on an RZ350 was 1.17.9 qualifying for the '87 Castrol 6 Hour. Race pace on 600 class bikes then was 18's / 19's. ( but that was 23 years ago aye! )

Alas, I fear I was last home tho...only fitting since I was the last to leave.....

Yes, my hat off to you. You must now shirly qualify as the fastest chick in the bay. Couldnt believe it when you beat us all to the cafe!

Was great to see you and your mstrs out for a ride, was a great day and great company. As Grantnz said, we did wait for a few minutes at Bay View on the way home but decided if you had visiited some Tongoio cockies we would have been waiting for a while!

Cheers!

Did a day trip to Waioru/Ohakune for work yesterday via Napier/Taihape Rd ( in the car). Sealing gang had just laid another 10 to 12 kms of the black stuff past the look out, plus a whole lot more done on the 'other' side as well. Won't be long and and it will another great ride ( Taihape Taupo home) on a road bike that is. Only about 20 kms of gravel left to do.
While on the subject of gravel, beware Ormondville Rd. Came back that way from ACC protest on Tuesday night and encountered 6 areas where resealing has been done in the last week, and as per usual for the wankers that put that stuff down, in that particular part of the country, NO SIGNS saying new seal. Must see if it is Higgins or Tararua Roading, or someone else. When ACC is finally screwed and we have to go back to sueing because we have had an accident due to their neglegence, we will know who to sue.

What a good day yesterday was, Mark Alvin and I shot up to Paeroa nice ride to we got up in the hills and then we couldnt see your hand in front of ya face so we tootled up to Taupo, but after Taupo it was brilliant. Races for me was not good as we found it hard to get a good vantage point, the pit area was good could get around and have a good look at the bikes, Food area's were good. Rode back with Alvin, Mark decided to go up to Auckland after, Ride back was bleeding marvellas Alvin behaved himself we got heaps of blings from the HP's but a fantastic ride and brilliant weather, Thanks All and Mark.

I can't believe that you'd never been to Paeroa before, G. Certainly not hard to find, though, is it? If you go again, for a change try the 'long' way. Instead of following SH1 after Wairakei, head straight for Rotorua, go to Ngongataha, take Pyes Pa Rd, skirt Tauranga and come out on SH2 at Bethlehem, then up to Waihi and through the Karangahake Gorge. Comes out straight into the centre of Paeroa.
Is a bit longer, but more interesting than all those boring straights you get going up 1 and 27, etc.

Nice ride to Taupo early Saturday morning with Ascott and Stormy1. A bit cold tho, minus 2 degrees at Rangitakei Tavern at 7.30am. The white stuff on the side of the road looked like snow, but we assumed it was a very heavy frost. Went to Patoka today for work ,and talking to a cockie there he said it snowed on the hills behind him on Friday night when the storm went through.
Excellent ride home again, passed a Goldwing then over the next hill was a revenue collector. Saved by Dale's electronics, but he got the 'Wing.

I read somewhere on here that some one had posted that its a day where not much in race rules happen, or protective gear were worn, lots of crashes, 8 abreast at the start, first in first at front at the start.
And some dude was riding a bike with a sword strapped to the forks?

Might take my Duke out for a fang

When I stopped racing I was an ACU Steward ( MNZ now) for a couple of years. Nobody else would do their meetings, so I did a few. Laid back day, no real dramas, just had to add at rider's breifing no drugs or alcohol in the pits ( riders and crew/ helpers ) until after the track was closed and bikes on the trailers. Finished with a Barbie and beers. They always did as they were told and really appreciated me giving up time to be there.

Something always seems to get in the way of CDMC days like this one.:(
Like one time I got the bike all serviced and ready to go, got less than 20kms down the road and...what's this?...oil all over the right side of the bike!! Bloody hamfisted mechanic had damaged the rubber (reusable) gasket on the tappet cover. Had put a split in it just where the thin part met one off the half-round cam-end part of it.
This year, we have guests from afar. So we'll be riding local.

Bet it was a good day today at Taupo.
Came thru on the way home this arvo from Taumaranui and the sun was wicked.

Did the trackday on Sat and it was hot too.
Lots of grip.

Got given a session on a 675 Triumph race bike on slicks with tyre warmers, and track setup and gearing that enabled it to be top gear at nearly 13000 at the back straight.
Oh what fun.

Anyone want a mint 955 Daytona.:shutup:
Think some priorities have changed.:yes::eek:

Sunday at taupo was a great day, foggy to start off with and the 1st practice/qualifing at 9.45 the track was a bit cold but warmed up welland had good grip, the new repairs are awesome , even better than it was before, knocked a second off my PB doing slightly different lines i dont usaualy do, and geting pushed hard in the posty races, 0.07 between our best lap times with the bloke i had a 6 lap battle with

You like the 675 tony?
they are a nice bike, be cool with the slicks and setup for taupo
