[Keystone19]

[cowpoos]

I'm sure we could find you a spare pillion seat rach :)

[sisterecho]

I'm sure we could find you a spare pillion seat rach :)

That would be quite awesome. Although, you know I haven't been on a bike since my last ride with Daryl in November. Bit scary.

[skelstar]

I'll be there. Awesome.

[Grub]

Crikey...wouldnt want to get a nipple down :shit:

Goodness no, the idea is to wear protection. That's what helmets are for ...

[Macktheknife]

Naturally - I also thought with bodypaint...



Jeez - they'll turn in their graves...:sick:

Need a hand applying that? lol

[cowpoos]

That would be quite awesome. Although, you know I haven't been on a bike since my last ride with Daryl in November. Bit scary.

[Sanx]

Great idea KF. Count me in. if there's anything I can do to assist, please let me know.

[sisterecho]

best you reserve a spot on the back of quasi's bike for a road ride soon eh?? and get back into it ;)

I don't have all the gears anymore. Maybe I'll ease myself back into it slowly... start off by just sitting on the bike while it's stationary. :)

[kiwifruit]

Cheers for the support folks.
This was the families idea, im just helping organise and advertise.
Should be a neat day :yes:

[Joni]

Kickaha and I will pencil our names down.
The dates for the nationals have not yet been released... but if there is no conflicts we will be there.

[SpankMe]

[skidMark]

[Big Dan]

Hey Allan

This will be a great day and one the boys will be proud of I'me hugely in and what do you think the chances of putting cars around the track as well for the ones that will be going down in cars i'm hoping to have Bruce's book done by the time this comes round but don't quote me on that

[cowpoos]

[skidMark]

boys didn't drive cars on the track mate...I think the bike theme is one we should really stick to ??

i agree mate

[Scorpygirl]

Bugger, Rhino and I can't make this one, even as spectators. We have our Auckland Ulysses Rally on that weekend and as I am now on the committee I need to help out. We will be thinking about the boys over this weekend though. Go hard out everyone for Bruce and Daryl.

[Big Dan]

boys didn't drive cars on the track mate...I think the bike theme is one we should really stick to ??

Yeah good point looks like i may have to try con my mate White trash to take me round the track like in took me round manfield once on LB first ever TL1000S that day still rates high up there the only down part is finding a helmet big enough for my big head(and i dont mean ego)

[dale smith]

hey......what about me mete? I thought you might have hooked my zimmer frame on to your bike to give me a thrill! But then, I can understand why you would prefer Rach.....she's one mighty fine little lady eh... I plan on coming over for this, but may not get to the track until mid morning, just depends what flights I can get..... Great night out in Hamilhole with you all. D

[dale smith]

Cheers for the support folks.

Should be a neat day :yes: Not SHOULD be...but WILL be.... me thinking I might come up with something to be presented as the best Muppet Award....... think the boys would like that....cupla tadpoles and a frog or two should do it I think

[cowpoos]

Not SHOULD be...but WILL be.... me thinking I might come up with something to be presented as the best Muppet Award....... think the boys would like that....cupla tadpoles and a frog or two should do it I think

Regretfully I will be overseas by this time and will therefore be unable to make it.

However, Allan (Kiwifruit) is gonna be looking after my bike gear and I'm happy for any of the familys to use it (there's small size gear there as well).

Also Dale, I know you were looking at getting a bike, tho I don't know your riding experience. But Allan's also gonna be babysitting my bike for me, so if you'd like a bike to ride for the day then you are welcome to it.

cheers
Mark

[Meekey_Mouse]

I will more then likely be there... If you need some one to marshal just let me know Allan :yes: but I can't confirm whether I will be able to make it till closer on.

Sounds like a great idea though :rockon:

[Matt Bleck]

I'll be there with either bells or a cast on!

Hi Mark....thanks for your most generous offer. However unless you have extremely comprehensive insurance it may not be a good idea! Am still looking around - will finally decide after the inquest and some other stuff is sorted. Will also need to contact Dave at Waikato Motorcycles (?) cos he has very kindly offered to help me choose. Enjoy yourself overseas, remember where home is....ie don't forget to return to the land of your roots(?!!!) Cheers, Dale

LOVE IT.....what an awesome idea.....people will be falling off all over the place just to vie for the privilege of being awarded such a prestigious prize! Will go and get it tomorrow.... but there will also have to be a surprise parcel as well of course.....

[ajturbo]

ooo.. hope the bucket is going......
if not i'll flag... na... frig that, luke will flag... i'll beat him up and use his bucket...

[Big Dog]

Please let us know if you will be attending or if you wish to help with marshaling etc
You can put me down to marshal.

[MadDuck]

Would have been keen as mustard to do the track day. Got for the first time in two years a full and comprehensive policy from my insurers Vero via Mr GoLightly stating that I am uninsured for ANY track days.

Given I am the slowest ass out there and never dropped my bike in 7 track days I am kinda leaning to stay away from putting me and the bike on a track day more is the pity.

if you need flaggies Im there.

[Zapf]

I plan to be there... either riding or with a big zoom lens.

[Zapf]

Naturally - I also thought with bodypaint...

Jeez - they'll turn in their graves...:sick:

I'll take photos and profit goes to family.... right? :dodge:

Hey Dale! :)

Hope you are well and all. I will PM you about the shirt or skivee or what ever they are called. As for the talks of you going on the bike, I can take you around the track if you like? Few wheelies down the straights too if you are keen? :)

Peggy told me to look this thread up in KB last weekend. Big ups to Allan for undertaking this mighty task. Hope all goes to plan and it WILL be a great day!!

See you there.

[R6_kid]

bump! Gonna be an awesome event people!

[Meekey_Mouse]

Need any one to help marshal or anything?

[Gwinch]

Colour me interested! Thought it may be nice to take the Hornet to a track day before she gets the flick after I get my full license! Payment will be coming through in the next wee while as I'm starting my new job on Monday.

Failing that I make a good pitbitch, just ask Jill. ;)

[dale smith]

Well, about on the back of a bike.....not too sure about that! Me got one of my own now......and having fun being the main rider..... However I have organised a few interesting awards for giving out that should appeal to you all. Still need to get flights booked but plenty of time for that yet. Looking forward to seeing you all again, complete with tons of tissues..... Love, D

[Loosebrucesfamily]

Our family’s would just like to touch base with everyone regards to this track day as the time grows nearer. Firstly thank you to everyone who has already volunteered to help out on this day. Every bit of help is much appreciated.

Our main objective for this day is for all of Bruce and Daryl’s good friends and family to be able to get together for a fun day to pay ‘tribute’ to two awesome guys taken tragically far too soon and to help each other remember the GOOD times, we all had with them.

Memorial ceremonies will be held to a bare minimum but both families are more than happy for any one and / or groups of friends who may wish to contribute something personal during this day.

Allan Ure (Kiwifruit) has been a huge help to our family’s in getting this day organised. Thanks so much Allan. He has a copy of the proposed fun program which include’s plenty of amateur stunting (something both the boys loved to a passion) but hopefully something for everyone, if anyone wants to add or contribute anything to the program for the day all ideas would be more than welcome. Either PM us or Allan.

Entry for this day is by DONATION only, We are not out to make a profit or even worried about breaking even, and will happily pick up any short fallings financially on the day if necessary.

This day is all about having fun in a safe environment, and to remember all the good things about these two awesome men.

See you all there and remember our prime aim is to have fun.

[skidMark]

Would have been up there if I wasn't already going to the Suzuki one the next weekend. Can't afford to get to Taupo and back plus track day two weekends in a row. Sorry

Have donated a little to the fund though as I'm sure every little bit helps :D

Hope you all have a fanTAZtic time.

... on Tuesday 4 December there is an opportunity to make a case directly to the Transport Community as they are having a Road Safety Barrier Systems Workshop at the Suncourt Motel!

We believe this is maybe the best opportunity ever to get close to the decision-makers. The thread is here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=59471.

Many of us are riding up especially from Wellington or Auckland just to make the most of the opportunity to raise the awarenes. If you can afford an extra night or two in town, we'd appreciate your support.

[GIXser]

will be paying my money tommorow. :)

Have fun those that have the chance to attend the memorial day.

Yeah I also need to butt in to ask if anyone could bring my GN up (sounds like you have to eat it first eh...) from Pukerua Bay to either Taupo or Raetihi (or Ohakune) basically anywhere closer to here. Wanganui would do also.

Then I could come to the trackday but also to the Cheesecutter ride on Tuesday.

Your old man might want to rethink his advice.

You plough into the side of a Mercedes and.........:doh:

Check with your broker about cover for this trackday. The day is being run in conjunction with motoTT. There will be riders on hand to provide tips and training if you require, let us know :)

I doubt anyone will be covered for the stunt group.

[Mental Trousers]

PLEASE NOTE: We are 1 marshall short so if there is anyone that wants to help out then either pm me or make yourself known somehow. We'll also take marshalls on the day.

if you are direct through star or swan, check with them.... as a broker, Dave has an arrangemnt for his clients to be covered by these agencies and he suggested if you deal direct, to contact them to see....
as Allan said, there will be national and club level racers available for training if required... i dont mind helping where i can and i'm sure Jay wont mind showing a few of us how to "back it in"....

Today was so freakin' awesome :D Big THANKS to all who organised it and ran it - you did a fab job :first:

It was also a pleasure to meet Bruce and Daryl's mums and the Evans family. Those who organised everything put on a damn good day and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The pizza and prizes were fab and the lunch time activites were a nice touch. I was also lucky enough to score a back protector as the prize for my boot toss (thanks Quazi!) Lucky considering it's the one piece of gear I didn't already own :niceone:

On a personal note, I achieved everything I set out to do today and that was to use my brakes. I wasn't concerned with speed or lines etc, my only goal was to gain confidence and I definitely did.

Another high for me was watching Sam Love out and about riding our 600. That young man can ride and it was awesome seeing the Gixxer out there being ridden as it's meant to.

All in all, it was a bloody good day out and the company was even finer :rockon:

Yep it was great.

Enjoyed the track and saw some great riding from the racing type guys to the stunting guys. Great low key day.

Did my first ever stand up for a metre or so and then a little longer:niceone: something that I have wanted to so for a while but have never been in the right space so watch this space. :-)

Frenchy rocked:niceone: All the K7 riders gave a good show lol.:banana::banana:

Thanks again to the marshalls and the organisers. A great way to remember and honour the boys

[one-speed]

Cheers to those involved in the set up and running of this day, My self and blackbuell, decided to head down just for a ride and check it out.
Looked like everyone was having fun.
Here's a clip from the lunch time entertainment,

As the fuit said ...

From my point of view the day went very, very well. We had a couple of minor problems (slow group got mixed in with the fast group after an accident brought out the red flag so had to put the chequered out and restart the fast guys, a bar end fell off Nicksta's bike causing a red flag, and there were 3 spills, none serious), we only had 2 marshalls for the day (besides me and fruity) and there were people from the car crowd on the small track on our RT channel so not all the instructions got through.

BUT, everyone got at least 5 sessions, the stunt sessions were fan-farken-tastic, the lunch time activities rocked hard, we had a truckload of prizes to hand out, and it was funny as fuck black flagging people for naughtiness and making them do push up's as punishment.

We managed to fit in a hell of a lot in 1 track day, had less crashes than any other track day I know of and just had lots of fun.

Big thanks to:
kiwifruit & Sue VFR from Moto TT (huge thanks to these 2 especially)
The families of both Daryl and Bruce for lunch and also covering any shortfall
Nicksta & Bev for the ride and room at the motel
Cowpoos and Boomer for being entertaining MC's from hell
Big Dog & Mad Duck for showing up and spending all day out in the hot, hot sun
Olivia for dropping off and picking up the marshalls all day
Both families, Sportsbike & Quasimoto for the prizes
The guys (and girl) that took part in the stunt sessions
and everyone that turned up and rode (or even just spectated) today

I was glad to be associated with the event.

Had an excellent time pootling around on my SD-R and even took a MV Senna out for a blast too :woohoo:
Have since found out that my bike is far better on the track than the road!

Huge thanks to all involved...was a MINT day thank you.

[Goblin]

Awesome day I'm sure the boys would be well proud of. Thanks to all of you for such a cool day. :grouphug:

[boomer]

It must be 2 years ago that Bruce & Jimmie tried to teach me how to wheelie.... fitting that i managed to hoist it up today!

Thank you one and all, especially the boys...Bruce, Bruce, Daryl & Dan.. and there families. :grouphug:

[aff-man]

Awesome weather
Awesome people

Awesome memories.

[codgyoleracer]

Great day guys, I'me sure the boys not with us now were watching down on us & cheering us all on. (they turned on the wetha for us to)

[Riff Raff]

You couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate the lives of Bruce and Daryl. They would have been stoked at seeing so many happy people. I thought about them regularly throughout the day, but instead of being miserable I was remembering lots of happy stuff and their antics. Thankyou to the Mathies and Dale for organising such a fitting tribute to the lads.

and Dale, it was awesome to see you out on the track with that great big silly grin on your face!!!

[EvLAzn]

Thanks to the Mathies and Dale
Was my first track day and its not goin to b the last,
Shot for the wicked day had such a awesome time:headbang:

[owner]

Thanks very much to all the organisers for a very enjoyable day,
Lunch was awesome, as was the crew
cheers

[enigma51]

Thanks everyone had a good day

Though i give the backing in thing ago so thanks Jay laurence for giving one or two pointers. I would not have giving it ago if it was not for the theme of the day (yes even if i said before I want to do it) I still did not pull it off other than to realise i can brake later if use the rear brakes so it was not all a bad "try"

[WRT]

Thanks to all involved, had an awesome time. Was definitely the most relaxed track day I've been to, great to see everyone so relaxed and enjoying themselves.

[jrandom]

I finally lost my track virginity yesterday. I can't think of a more fitting day for it to have happened on. I had an absolute blast cruising about in the medium and slow groups and getting my head around the whole 'superbike on a racetrack' thing.

Steve, I owe you one bro, thanks for lending me your R1 for the day!

Many thanks to the families for making it happen, and props to Allan and Sue from MotoTT for their organisational expertise. A top-notch job done by all.

:2thumbsup

My final memory of the day is of an empty pit lane in the late afternoon sunshine, and the two small kids who were standing there, jumping and laughing as their balloons wafted up into the blue sky over the racetrack.

Daryl and Bruce would have approved...

[cowpoos]

WOW!!!!!! That was such a awesome day!!

Thanks SO MUCH to everyone that turned out for the day!! shit those boys would have loved it a whole bunch!!! [and they probally would have taken home the muppet awards had they been riding...lol]

Thanks heaps to Dale and the Mathies for the day...and everyone who helped organise it!! Marshells,etc... and for those that came!! Fricken awesome!!

[MadDuck]

That was an awesome day....and a very fitting way to spend the day remembering the lads.

Stuck out in "Marshall-no-mans-land" we kind of missed a lot of the atmosphere BUT the "wohoos" from the guys coming around lining up to do the stunting sessions was enough to put a damn big smile on my face!

Thanks to the families, Allan, Sue and Shane for a very well organised day.

[Big Dan]

WOW!!!!!! That was such a awesome day!!

Thanks SO MUCH to everyone that turned out for the day!! shit those boys would have loved it a whole bunch!!! [and they probally would have taken home the muppet awards had they been riding...lol]

[kiwifruit]

What a wicked day!
Huge thanks to MadDuck, and Big Dog for standing out in the marshal boxes allllllll day. Cowpoos, White Trash and boomer for the priceless commentary.... really gave the day a great atmosphere. Mental-Trousers for holding it all together, the level headed voice of reason.
Thank you SueVFR (Mum) for your help, really was invaluable.
Thank you Peggy, Steve, Jenie and Dale. Was a real honour to be involved with you all to make this happen.

Thank you to the riders. I've never seen such well a behaived group at a trackday. Was awesome to see you all having such a good time. I saw alot of improvement in alot of you throughout the day, Dale and the lady on the blue SV most notably so. The stunt group went really well, some wicked skills on display there guys.

The lunchtime games were a laugh! Barbender = animal steel, that tyre throw was inspired.
The pizza hit the spot! Yum :)

I couldn't have hoped for a better day, everything went so well.
Thank you everyone.
Was a great tribute to the boys.
