I've been told that Friday the 27th has been cancelled, and moved to the 28th.
Good news for me, but does anyone else know about it?
Who can make it? there are 3 confirmed and 2 pending (come on KK!) from where I am, but hopefully there will be more on Saturday if people know about it!

If all I have done (new fuel lines, cleaned out carbs/filters, replaced plugs, plugs caps leads, coils and ignition switch, new battery) doesn't sort it I think yep the cdi will be next. I'll nick George's cdi on the day (eh George :) ) if I need to (hope not - hope I've got it now :crybaby: ) to prove that either way.....

LOL you cheap hoe... Just be careful that you don't get stranded in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire. When your tire is that worn out, it is very likely to get a puncture.

its not to bad, still got a bit of life in it, about another 500 odd kms then its getting to bald for me, it most likley have plenty of life in it for 'other people' but when there is only thing wheels keeping you safe, i usual replace them before they get bad

Hi there shawnmoll. It is an Open day at Pukekohe raceway where you can take your bike (as is) on the track for $80. They break the track times up into sessions of 20 minutes. There are separate sessions for cars & bikes. Starts around 10.30am and goes till 4.00pm.

You keen on riding out there for a look? :cool:

What can I say - brilliant weather, good track surface, great biker company, awesome riding!! :2thumbsup

Good to ride on the track with fellow KBr's: Loosebruce, 750Y, Hoon, Curious George, and That Guy.
Good to see supportive spectators: Quasievil, Andrew, Motoracer, Yamahamaman, Shawnmoll.

5 different groups of vehicles so only 1 session for bikes every 80mins, but got in 4 sessions throughout the day and every one was worth the wait & $80 price!

No major problems or bins thankfully! Only issue I can think of is Loosebruce loosing his rh muffler from its rivots :o . Not a major and all fixed up for the next session.

Looking forward to seeing some action pics & maybe a movie or two from some of our dedicated KB photographers. :msn-wink:

Not many more open days remaining at Pukekohe this year so if you are thinking of doing it for the first time I'd encourage you to get there within the next 6 weeks some time - well worth the money & effort I say! :cool:
