Something a bit different... no on board stuff this time....
A beautifully fine day not only makes the riding better, but the video and photos look better too. Of course a few KB'ers feature on the video. Suzuki trackdays are a GSX-R lovers paradise and though unintentional this shows in the footage and photos I got.
The meeting was very well run by the Kiwi Rider people who appear to have setup a company to run these events. There were very few incidents and virtually no delays so we got at least six sessions each despite there being four speed groups. And all for a $50.00 entry fee on a Saturday! Gotta love Suzuki!!
Highlight of the day for me was letting Jason (vtec) take my bike out for a session. He went out at the front of the fast group and despite being on a road bike on road tyres didn't get passed by anyone! He lapped in the 1.42s, the same as Craig Shirriffs did during the lunch break on the demo GSX-R 750 so was happy with that!
Thanks Jason for the ride there and back, and cheers Terry for the use of your truck and trailer!!
