As Leigh being north of Auckland..or maybe depends which hemisphere you talking from...?

[moT]

2:10 shouldnt be in fast thats med group speeds under 2 min is fast

[jrandom]

2:10 shouldnt be in fast thats med group speeds under 2 min is fast

:shit:

They told me that anything under 2 min was a winning time at Taupo for the average Superbike race.

I guess I'll have to ride faster now.

:weep:

Waht! maybee for a 150. In F3 if ur doing under 1:52 ur going v well in F2 if ur doing under 1:40 that would be good not sure on F1 times probably around the 1:35 mark.

[Quasievil]

I will be there
...............watching...................looking. ...................hoping, but have a good time on the track and think of me.

[moT]

[moT]

[DVS 69]

Yeehaa I cant wait hope the track is dry tho, a overcast day with dry track would be great, bout time i gave me lil 400 a good thrashing:devil2:

[kiwifruit]

There will be no timing of any laps. This is a trackday, not a race day

[Chrislost]

im all booked.
I think i ended up in group 2 but i dont care if its 3 or 4.
You thinking of throwing your Viffer up the track this time tom? that was quite cool to see:clap:

I can see sue telling everyone "we have had this talk" :spanking:

[Aero165]

Yay,

I'll be there! I'm riding in fast group:sweatdrop

Let's hope it's nice fine weather!

At last round of Vic Club Jay on his 600 did 1:34.9 I think, supposedly a record. Carey Briar on his thou' was doing roughly the same.

If the Nat's went there I reckon Bugden and fellow mad karnts would be in the 32's.

Times don't matter at a track day though, ofcourse.

To whoever asked, if everyone's passing you and you think you're holding them up just move down a group.

[Aero165]

Toast, your avatar is hilarious! :lol:

[discotex]

To whoever asked, if everyone's passing you and you think you're holding them up just move down a group.

I'm expecting to be backmarker of group 2 but will move down if enough people lap me.

Was lapping catching the backmarkers in the slow group and group 3/4 scared me with some of the erratic riding so figure I'd rather be in the clear air and follow some guys who seriously know what they're doing :) (until they disappear into the distance that is)

If I get off my arse this week I should have grippier tyres this time too :yes:

[jrandom]

Quack quack, says the lame duck!

Won't do you any good, ain't none of us gonna relax our guard and let you WIN just because you talk the big talk about how slow you are.

That trick got old ages ago.

;)

;)

Haha if only that were true. But to be honest I was surprised I wasn't as slow as I expected to be last time.

This time I've got leathers with sliders so can use my knee as a feeler rather than having to wait till the pegs touch down and realise I don't have enough lean left to make the back straight (bad line and too fast).

Pretty sure I'll shit myself if I manage to get my knee down though. Been practicing pulling myself back onto the seat with the outside leg rather than my arms which should make a massive difference through the turn 2-3-4 combo. Need to find a better line into T5 too.. Was trying to late apex it too much I think.

[jrandom]

Need to find a better line into T5 too.. Was trying to late apex it too much I think.

Yup.

Do a bit of poking around and you'll find Leong's video on YouTube of Shaun Harris taking his GSX-R600 around the track. Some good hints for lines in there.

I'd say that the trick is to come out of T4, gas it hard and let the bike drift to the right, then start turning as early as you can into T5. The tighter the better, but you'll need to be turning hard and starting your turn almost from the left-side rumble strip.

But then, I wouldn't really know, so don't pay any attention to that. Personally, I always end up wasting significant seconds with my head in a muddle, just coasting on a steady half-throttle between T4 and T5 where I should be hard on the gas or brakes.

Best tip, try not to completely cock it up and go for a wee offroad excursion like I did after lunch at the last trackday!

I think you're talking bout turn 3 -4 there jrandom. discotex is talking bout the tight right hander after the previous right hander(turn 4)?

Yeah and we all know that The Hairdresser is the slowest anyway yet o' so speshel! :buggerd:

Yep you're spot on there. 80% of my problem is no trail braking so I had to get all my braking done before tipping in like I do on the road. The second to last session I was getting a lot more sorted though.

Watching DMNTD and Shaun through there I can see I was apexing WAY too late because it looks sharper than it is.


Any chance we can have cones to mark rough turn-in and apex zones? Would make it much easier to pick a point on the track if there was more of a visual reference (kinda like braking markers).

i keep the gas on thru turn 4 then late apex turn 5 theres no problem in that. it gives you a better run to turn 6 wich is good again to late apex (when late apexing you have to go over those horrible concrete patches but there ok)

Yeah I found I could power out better but it just didn't feel right if you know what I mean. Even starting the turn-in 3m earlier I think would make a big difference.

Not quite sure we're talking about the same corner... I'm talking about 5 on http://www.tauporacetrack.co.nz/pdf/track_1.pdf

I think you're meaning one turn earlier in the 2-3-4 combo.

As for off-track well.. I found my roadbike doesn't seem to mind grass as well ;)

Leave the turn in for T5 as late as possible...

I think I was stoned when I wrote that.

Hmm maybe it just feels wrong and I'm doing it right. Maybe I'm just scrubbing off a bit too much speed under brakes.

Sorry I meant your other left.

[moT]

If you want a really good idea on how to Ride at Taupo check out this proffesional training video it has great advice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2IWxqvsSY8

[kiwifruit]

the best advice i can give is what cowpoos told me a little while ago;

Turn earlier

A common habit is to square the turns off. This is great on the road as it gives you more options on the exit but not the best on the track. Try to make the turns longer. you will feel like you're going to run off on the inside at first, stick with it, you'll get better... (of course there are exceptions where squaring off can work)

Turn 1 for example;
Start turning in at about 50-70m, not 10-30m
Turn 4 (over the blind hill);
start turning in about half way between t3 and t4 not 30m before t4

There will be loads of experienced riders there, don't be shy, most are more than happy to help a grasshopper

:)

After spending my entire (albiet short) riding life cultivating a late-apex style on the road that's what I'm finding I need to do.

I started off doing that chroinically at the end of the main straight. Meant I was doing a big S to get onto pit straight. Following Enigma showed me a much better line through there.

Find someone to sit behind for a couple of laps that has a good line. Its easier than trying to organise cones:doobey:

I found toast takes a great line through there and so I copied him one track day. Found it to be great. He climbs into the corner tipping in real fast then on the gas to climb up through the corner. Very similar to a diagram in "twist of the wrist 2" which I borrowed off him.

Ah will catch up with you soon bout the book toast!:innocent:

Chris is pretty keen on it, just give it to him if you see him first.

On a serious note if you want anymore help just give a yell what i dont know alan or someone else will be able to help with


I find that in the begining when you go around the track at a "slowish" pace the lines you can take then is much different from when you up the pace.

Quite a few people still ride hondas so you should be in luck.

Oftern they are masked and un identifiable. But you'll find them milling around the "entry to pit lane" toilets

Hey guys.

I've just bought some Ti knee sliders from TM and it would be awesome to have them here for the track day. Trouble is, the guy is located in Auckland and he says pick up only. I'm going to Auckland next week. D'oh

Does anyone live around the blockhouse bay region? The guy has offered to bring them to his work. He will be in Manukau 'till 6 P.M.

If so, would you be able to bring them down for me?



Thanks,

Aero

[westie]

Hey guys.
If so, would you be able to bring them down for

I could go pick them up.


May use them on the way home tho:devil2:

Only problem is the rain in Auckland right now. Think I'm going to use it as an excuse to get an oversuit if it's not looking better soon. Of course then it'll clear up :doh:

It was bad enough when it was dribbling on the way to work, and pissing down when I went for luntz, but I'd hate to get clobbered by a downpour of MutantStickmen on the way home.
Perhaps I'll sleep under my desk tonight.
Just to play it safe.

[Chrislost]

so how many will be out if its raining?
cos id hate to have the track all to myself:Punk:

Forcast looks like dry... MINT

Things turnied to shit this morning and i couldnt make it :cry:

maybe a good thing though that i wasnt hooning (ok pootling) around a track on a day where the karma bank had forclosed my mortgage, raped my cat, and placed a kick me sticker on the back of my bike.

one of the many issues was my cellphone died getting wet in the fog (which made me miss 2 turn offs, and caused at least one oh-shit moment which is currently being dealt with with nappysan) which meant i couldnt call to let them know- my apologies mr kiwifruit.

I'm putting this thread on ignore. i really do hope everyone had a grand day :yes:, but i dont want to hear about it. :oi-grr:

time to hit the piss (et al) and induce amnesia..... :drinkup:

Thanks MotoTT for another great day. :sunny::sunny: And thanks to all the riders who behaved themselves. Few minor offs but luckily no ambo needed all day.:sweatdrop Mr Ducati Dude was lucky he didn't take anyone else out with him tho. From where I sit I can see people getting cocky and worry about who they might take out. You all have to remember that its a TRACK DAY! Not a race day. I was Impressed with Boomer, Korn, Saul, Fruity, Matt Bleck, Idrum, Enigma, BB2, DMNTD and Steve(Bking) in the second to last session. You guys all rode well and smooth. Westie and Chrislost did a bloody good job out there too.:niceone: Oh and jrandom for finishing the day.:headbang:


Some random pics.

[mark247]

yep mighty good day.

[discotex]

Mr Ducati Dude was lucky he didn't take anyone else out with him tho.

Was wondering what happened there. Bit of an odd place for an off.

I was busy sorting myself out (trying to figure where would be a safe place off track) at turn 5 then I turn around up and there's a dude gone down on 4.

I have to admit I pushed it too hard but I was building it up a couple of percent per lap waiting for a sign I was trying too hard. Last time I was down the front started pushing so I had some warning. Not this time. Was grippy as fuck until it was slippery as fuck. :doh:

I was really impressed with the much faster guys (most of group 2) giving me space and letting me hold my line and found not gassing it too hard on the straight meant there wasn't a queue behind me.

Nice to meet a bunch of KB kids at last :)

Big thanks to gix and boomer for finding me a bling as brake lever :niceone:

Oh, does knee down still count if you bin? I mean I made it well past the apex.... :lol:

Oh so that was you who went down at the same time?? As I got my yellow out I looked and saw you go too. I have to ask tho...why didn't you pick your bike up? If it was you and Ducati Dude down on turn 5, I cant help wonder why you might leave your bikes laying there in the kitty litter, not even attempting to pick it up? See the thing is to use the adrenalin to get going again. As long as you're not broken, you should at least try to get your bike up and out of the way in case someone else target fixates and crashes into you.

Hope your not too sore and learned something from this.:rolleyes:

[Aero165]

I was Impressed with Boomer, Korn, Saul, Friuty, Matt Bleck, Idrum, Enigma, BB2, DMNTD and Steve(Bking) in the second to last session. You guys all rode well and smooth. Westie and Chrislost did a bloody good job out there too.:niceone: Oh and jrandom for finishing the day.:headbang:


What about meeeeeeeee?:whistle:

funny thing... i have NEVER thought of that!!!..

all the times i fell off.. i would lay there laughing... till i suddenly thought.... hell the race could be over soon... better get back on....:done:

It's not a race but there's always that too...also... when a bike goes down it can spill oil or other fluids and others can possibly go down in quick succession. Can never be too careful eh.

Good question/point... In hindsight it would have been much better to give moving it a shot at least.

At the time I really didn't want to be standing there trying to pick it up if someone did bail as it was right on the exit.

Even if I got it upright and started it was facing the wrong way to move it away from the corner. Could have driven it deep in the gravel trap I guess. Not much better though.

I wasn't really thinking properly as I'm not used to that scenario is what is comes down to.



Hope your not too sore and learned something from this.:rolleyes:

I'm sweet as but will see how the morning goes. I couldn't honestly have asked for a better crash for me or the bike. It's why I don't ride like that on the road.

Lessons learned:

a) There's a reason why people say count to 3. Glad I was sliding slow enough when I tried to get up that I just rolled over. That survival instinct to stand up ready to fight or run is strong though eh.
b) Just because you've made it past the apex doesn't mean you won't lose the front
c) Having finished all your braking and having the throttle cracked isn't enough to overcome some other reason for the front to let go.
d) Just because you're in the zone and the bike is feeling great can mask the fact you're at 99.9% of the grip you have available
e) I probably need to hang off more
f) I've found my limit for turn 5. Time to learn how to turn left. For some reason I'm backwards to everyone else and prefer right handers.

If you are going to find the limits then you're approach gets a 1 out 10. :2thumbsup

glad you ok.

My leathers were too much like a new pair of shoes eh.

Was good to ride with you. Will have to hook up go for a pootle.

Hmmm...

When I hopped up off the grass and saw Betty out in the track with her headlight pointing back toward the oncoming bikes, I thought FUCK THAT, I'm waiting until they've all gone past and realised it's there.

The last thing I wanted was to be Mr Eager running out onto the track to retrieve my bike and have some yellow-flag-blind hotshot run wide out of T7 and take me out. If they were going to crash into my bike, they were going to do it with me watching from the sidelines.

So I gave everyone most of a lap to realise it was there, and then BarBender stopped and helped me move it off the track - just the man you need when you have 250kg of bike lying sadly on its side requiring shifting.

:niceone:

If anyone who wasn't there is interested, my sidestand foot dug in and I lowsided at about 120kph coming out of T7.

I discovered in the process that GSX1400s appear to have engine covers made of main battle tank armour plate, a magic bubble of invulnerability around all the pretty black painted bits, and handlebars that bend back into shape quite easily. The damage isn't worth an insurance claim, which the man from Star who I'd been talking to in pit lane immediately before that session will be quite pleased about, I'm sure.

Also, my Quasi jacket and pants did a sterling job during the surprisingly-violent sky, ground, sky, ground sequence along the track before I came to rest on the grass. No injuries apart from a bit of a bruise on my left leg where I landed. I was quite comfortable throughout.

Binning left me feeling a bit tentative, and I didn't really come back on cam until the last session of the day, unfortunately. Dumpty has some tank cam footage of my first lap after I went back out, it'll be interesting to see if my riding looks as tiptoey as it felt.

I'm taking the sidestand off for Betty's next trackday.

I just watched the video I took from the session where I dropped it. Had the wrong card in so only got 5mins. Just waiting to go on the track and the two warm-up laps.

:doh: I could have been world famous on youboob.

[R6_kid]

I was more than a bit anxious heading down to this trackday. It's been over a year since i rode my own bike on a track, and I've only ridden a handful of times on bikes with more than 30hp in the time since my last track outing. The bike i was riding (GSXR1000K3) has only just finished being put back together and it owes me a bit of money - no prizes for binning it!

I flogged off work early on Thursday arvo and got my bike loaded, picked up my ever helpful girlfriend Lisa and then went around to get Chrislost and his bike. We managed to leave Auckland 'on time' but rush hour traffic meant it was never going to be a quick trip. Thankfully the trip down was uneventful with only one real tosser (other than myself) out on the road.

We rocked up at Aaron and Jasmines (aero165 and Meeky Mouse) place around 10.30/11 and put the bikes in the garage before proceeding to talk shit for a while before getting some much needed rest for the next day.

I had no leathers, but thankfully Quasi came to the party and loaned me his own two piece set, aswell as gloves and a back protector... thanks very much to that man! (this gear was great, and had a feeling of being high quality and also had awesome armour etc - was hi racer 9 suit)... unfortunately I've eaten more pies than quasi in the last year or two, so they were a little snug.

Sign in/scrutineering went through nice and easy as is the norm at MotoTT trackdays - now it was time to ride!

First session had me feeling like a n00b, really uneasy on the bike, hesitant on the gas, and more than a little cautious on the brakes. As the conti raceAttacks got up to heat things became a lot easier and my confidence grew - then the checkered flag was waved.

Checked my tire pressures, and they were both about 4psi below what i wanted them to be (this should have been checked before hand!). Also took the chance to put the camera on the back of the bike to do a bit of movie making in the next two sessions.

Second session was much better, a lot smoother, and more consistent but still a couple of moments from not thinking (thinking too much?) about what i was doing. The bike still felt a bit wierd, wasnt sure if it was the bike or just me not being used to the 1000cc.. after the session i got Shaun to do some measurements and found the rear preload was WAAAAY too soft - cranked it to max for session three.

My third outing was my best effort for the day. Was feeling really good, the bike was handling far better than the last session and I felt a lot more in control coming in to corners and getting on the gas earlier on the way out. Even managed a half decent wheelie for the checkered flag too! :banana:

Next time out i had Lisa on the back for the first time, which was also pretty much her first time on anything over 250cc, and her first time out on a track. The grin on her face at the end of 5 laps said it all :hug::love:

Session four i moved up into group 2 and had Raj/YamahaR64life following me for most of the time, i was sitting on a comfortable pace just working on getting my lines right. He pulled a nice wheelie down the back straight and did a few laps up in front before the session ended. Again I was really pleased with myself, and pretty stoked at how the session had gone.

After getting some more gas, it was time for Lisa to jump on the back again. This time i upped the pace a bit over each of the first few laps, in her own words it went from being 'a bit scary' to 'feeling really cool' to 'why are these people going so slow, why don't they get out of the way?'. It was in the slow group, but it always feels good being the burglar - especially with a pillion.

The last session I went out in I was way too tired and just wasn't concentrating at all. I couldn't get anything right and the only part i was enjoying was the was the turn 2 - turn 3 section but was just holding people up every where else. I read the writing on the wall and threw in the towel, time to get packed up.

Overall a hugely successful day. Was awesome to be back out there doing it, and I've come home knowing what i want to work on next time i hit the track!

Huge thanks go out to (in no particular order):
Quasi for hooking me up with some leathers so i could get out on the track. The Stranger for all his help getting the bike ready.
Jas/Aaron + parents for putting us up for the night and providing breakfast in the morning, and for generally being entertaining!
The MotoTT crew for putting on a superb day (as per usual).
Shaun Harris for helping me setup my suspension - and allowing me to bang my own knuckles while setting the preload on the shock! (smart man!)
All the good c00nts out on the track for making it a bit more interesting.
"The Crew" (boomer, gixser, mr fruit, mr random etc etc) for talking shit and being good c00nts.
And last but not least, Lisa - for remembering everything I forgot, stopping me from stressing out, buying me food + drink all the time, helping out all the time, and just generally being an awesome girlfriend!

That is all.

[discotex]

The damage isn't worth an insurance claim, which the man from Star who I'd been talking to in pit lane immediately before that session will be quite pleased about, I'm sure.

Bound to be :) Have to get some quotes for mine but can't see it being worth a claim either.



Also, my Quasi jacket and pants did a sterling job during the surprisingly-violent sky, ground, sky, ground sequence along the track before I came to rest on the grass. No injuries apart from a bit of a bruise on my left leg where I landed. I was quite comfortable throughout.

Ditto for my Rev'it gear. Bloody glad I had Quasi's back protector on! (Will ride it down to the Tron for ya mate.. Didn't see you were packing up).



Binning left me feeling a bit tentative, and I didn't really come back on cam until the last session of the day, unfortunately. Dumpty has some tank cam footage of my first lap after I went back out, it'll be interesting to see if my riding looks as tiptoey as it felt.


I only got one more session out in group 4 but I really lost the confidence in the front end. Didn't help that the brake lever from the 1000 was like having the quick adjust on max. Was glad I got back out though. Made riding home WAY easier.

[westie]

Awesome day motott. No major events and did the ambulance even get to see any action at all?

Really well run track day.:2thumbsup

Well my bucket of shit ($500 fury) has finally died after several track days and a race meeting of losing power. So now is off to the :doctor: to get some new bits in the twirly loud thing.

Another AWSOME day thanks everyone :clap:
Special thanks to my Kiwi Biker marshells Goblin and Fireball... so capable and reliable.

The whole day went well cos you guys rode with the right attitude (most people did anyway!) It was huge fun to watch you out there. The Big Boys in Group One (Very Fast AND Motard Group) made the hair on the back of my neck prickle with the roar of them down pit lane straight :chase:
Yesterday was our biggest and best day yet! The Ambo wasn't used :doctor:
Lovely to see Boomer #2 Son,
and DMNTD (trial adoption papers on their way)
:spanking: Yamaha4Life hope you got home OK.
Quazi Bret and Paula... thanks for your support with gear and prizes
Look forward to seeing you all at the next one

Thanks Sue

[Cr1MiNaL]

:spanking: Yamaha4Life hope you got home OK.
Thanks Sue

hehe still buzzing :rolleyes:

[DMNTD]

First off thanks to MotoTT for putting on such an awesome day...again :clap:

Personally I had an great time but my bubble got slightly burst in the second session after loosing both the front and rear on the MV within 200m(ok I was apparently riding a bit harder than "normal") so I was more than happy to go out there and pootle about being camera boy instead. :rolleyes:
Loads of fun with the Tga Poseur Crew

I'll be back!

I didn't have the best day this time. I rode down on thursday after work with duckaddict. Didn't sleep well, woke up with a bit of a sore neck/headache but that cleared up after a couple of panadol.
First session I didn't feel like I was riding well, but that's to be expected for the first session (for me at least). 2nd session I must have been pushing a bit too hard too soon (it was on lap 3) and lowsided on turn 3:
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dxwz-Sa7l18&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dxwz-Sa7l18&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
The leathers held together well, there was a big scrape on the back that went right through the first layer of leather in one place (about a 20c size hole), and a couple of other small holes. The bike held together well too. Just a couple of weeks ago I'd modified the LH engine cover, put a 3mm aluminium cover onto it with durafix and was pleased to see it hadn't worn through in the crash (I'm sure a stock one would have). The bar end, crash bung, centrestand and LH rear indicator had all been worn in the slide, but the only thing stopping me from continuing the session was the gear change push rod had broken. Aero165 and Meekey_Mouse saved my day by having a spare push rod from an RG150 that fit (thanks!) so I didn't miss any sessions.
The rest of the day went well, no more mishaps, but I still wasn't riding as well as I have in the past, I only started to feel like I was 'getting in the groove' in the last session. I think more open road rides working up to the trackday and a better night's sleep would've helped.

Here's the last session in two parts:

Thanks to MotoTT for organising the trackday.

I'm looking forward to the next one.

Great vids guys of a great day.
Sorry to see you binned Erik - but that bike of yours just keeps coming back...just like you! Good on ya!

Thanks MotoTT for another superbly run trackday.

Special thanks to Shaun Harris for re-setting my suspension settings. No chatter and miminal pitch under braking by the third session. Felt like I was on a different bike on the way home. Thanks bro.

[Xile]

Thanks to MotoTT Crew, was a really fantastic awesome day!!!
Great weather, awesome people, etc ;)

I never been that fast on the track before, the lil baby felt great and i felt ready too! Looking forward for the pics! Did not put my right knee down but did put the left one again :p

Thanks to Gareth for the half drive down and Chris for riding my baby in the cold for me the last bit to Taupo, Mr Fruit, Dan and Kat for the night :shifty: haha, Kit and Char (u know why..;)), Aero and Meeckey-Mouse, nice to meet you guys!! And nice to meet a whole bunch of nice people i did not get the names!

Oh and my quote of the day, by mr jrandom: "You riding well for a girl" :rolleyes:

Was epic day but i still need to work on a few things accelerating sooner, turn in speed, breaking and my line on the s bend i think needs a little work

[saul]

[QUOTE=DMNTD;1506813]First off thanks to MotoTT for putting on such an awesome day...again :clap:

Loads of fun with the Tga Poseur Crew


The only improvement that Motott need for their track days, is to put some angled mirrors up down the pit lane so we can see ourselves. :yes:

Welcome dude, Hope the ride home was better for you as well? Standard suspension can be set better than it comes from the factory, as this again shows.


couldnt agree with you more, wish I had approached you earlier Shaun, my bike feels a lot better. Need to adjust the hi/low speed stuff now, then shell be sweet. Thanks bro ur a legend.:hug:

So this high speed stuff do you understand what it does?
Sorry but no to be a asshole but there are few people that actually knows what it really is for

[Cr1MiNaL]

My understanding is the high speed/ low speed is to do with the compression and dampening of the springs. The springs would compress rapidly when for example you hit a pothole at fast speeds, compared to hitting the same pothole at a slower speed. You would want your bike to react differently at high and slow speeds given the same pothole. This is how I see it being important to get it right, or ur always going to have a bumpy or a soggy ride.

[GIXser]

Yep a great day was had by 'the crew' met some great new people, and a few others that are becoming addictive to track days...aye you know who you are.....!!??
a few highlights ----

Patch
our 6 hour trip to Taupo
Patch
our menial lodgings
Patch
barbender riding his bike into the motel room, (like anyone is stupid enough to steal his bike anyway,)
Patch
Patch waking up at 5.30 Am (like a bulldog on speed) and making sure everyone is included in his awakening'

Lots of Laughter in the pitshed (first ones to arrive and last ones to leave , typical bent spanner time)

it was mint and i cant wait to catch up with a few people again..
and last but not least..........

I WON A FREE TRACK DAY<<WHHOOOOHHAHAAA


thanks MotoTT:)

[discotex]

Special thanks to Shaun Harris for re-setting my suspension settings. No chatter and miminal pitch under braking by the third session. Felt like I was on a different bike on the way home. Thanks bro.

+1

My bike felt fuckin fantastic after Shaun helped me out. I'd never ridden as fast and confidently as I did that session until I pushed it too far and lowsided.

There was just so much more stability in the front end over bumps and coming off the brakes.

[discotex]

2nd session I must have been pushing a bit too hard too soon (it was on lap 3) and lowsided on turn 3

Sounded like the rear let go when you got on the gas (good on you for not chopping the throttle and highsiding eh) but you weren't cranked much. Must have caught you by total surprise.

Cold tyres or something?

Yeah, I think it was just pushing too hard on cold tires, it was lap 3.

It did indeed catch me by surprise, I didn't notice the rear starting to slide or anything, first thing I knew I was sliding down the track!

[CHOPPA]

first time ive found the track days page! Cool event, my first ride on new bike and also my lil sisters first track day she was out in group 4 on a bright green ninja 250!

Sorry if it was a fellow kiwibiker that got a bit upset with my pass on the last lap, i was on the outside but apparently turned in a bit early....?
Cheers for the tip on learning how to ride maybe I could follow ya around to see how its done :Pokey:

After seeing the pics im starting to realise who you guys all are! catch ya next time!

[CHOPPA]

First off thanks to MotoTT for putting on such an awesome day...again :clap:

Personally I had an great time but my bubble got slightly burst in the second session after loosing both the front and rear on the MV within 200m(ok I was apparently riding a bit harder than "normal") so I was more than happy to go out there and pootle about being camera boy instead. :rolleyes:
Loads of fun with the Tga Poseur Crew

Thanks to Boomer for the ride, and thanks to Archer for a ride of his ZX10 race bike, AWESOME bike , But mate those brakes ....................sheeeeshhh, I started pulling it in at about 150 mtrs to be sure it was going happen, oh well still had a blast!!! nice footage of my fat arse there DMNTD, sorry to hold you up bro, very polite rider you are to I might ad, giving way to me cheers....looking good on the Brutale dude !!

Nah all good Q...just wanted to get some good footage.
LOL...yeah mate,just a track day so no silly over taking styles.
BTW...ya know that if you twist that thing on the right handle bar that it makes the bike go faster eh? :devil2:

Oh ai Au.. thats what i've been doing wrong! ( if Logan and i had waited any longer for you TGA crew we'd have been going backwards :lol: )

ps. Brett... The bike looked good on ya mate; for the right price you could be the owner of a real weapon! and thanks to QuasiMoto for the Back protecter; it was good to know my back was in good hands!



I managaed to spin the rear up on the old girl which is something i've only done on a 600 before; it was quite a thrill coming out of the tight stuff at full lean, turning it on and having the rear light up and the front come of the ground.... im glad the bike didn't put me on my ass

[CHOPPA]

What were you on? Were you with teh boys from Dave Andersons?


yeah man i was with those guys, i was on a blue zx6r.....

Hey people awesum day at the track last friday, can anyone tell me where the photos of that day are ?? There seemed to be plenty of photographers there.........:banana:

[Shaun]

good thing i cleared that up for you aye bro :Pokey::bleh:


High Speed Low Speed compression

High speed damping is, when the wheel-shock-swingarm move FAST- Due to a sudden bump, NOT THE ROLLING ROAD

Low Speed damping, is to deal with side grip and road undulations, slow wheel-shock-swingarm movement

Our usual photographer Alick was at a wedding on Fri so the official photographer for Friday was Ron Burgin from proracepics. Here is the link to his site, he said they'll be up in about an hours time. He said to click through to the Motorcycle Racing page! :Oi:(It's NOT A RACE!!)

Hi Choppa, I'm not saying I am a more capable rider than you and I apologise for yelling at you, I was very pisssed off with such foolishness. I am simply saying that there was no need for that overtake manovoure you attempted. You yourself said that it was the last lap, when I was telling you off, then why the need to pass me? I was a good 15 ks faster than you and had the better line, then you went round the outside of me and jumped into my line mid apex, fully cranked over 'slower than me' being the punch line here? Did you realise that that could have taken us both out. Thank God I had the presence of mind, skill and vast amount of luck required to stop lowsiding or highsiding myself over you (my front stepped out 2ce as you heard, then I almost highsided). If me or my bike had been damaged I would have made you pay. Straight and simple nothing personal.

This was the last session. I was in the fast group at the time, and this was turn 1 we are talking about, so its a pretty sharp apex corner.

i swear that your back wheel was not on the ground, and it was more luck...
First stoppie with knee down that ive seen in a while.

He would have been able to get past you if you where 15 k's faster not in that corner

You should have seen Chris haldane brake for the hairpin at paeroa

[boomer]

Im a little confused; how can he be slower than you; yet out brake you and hit the apex before you... surely if hes gone round the outside then your undertaking :p get ya ass to the rear of the group then! And remember.... no winners without Binners


We caught traffic and some of the traffic didnt like it too much, mr red 750 gixxer.. he took exception to being passed and decided to ride like a squid... over cooking corners and making himself look loose. i laughed and Logan gave him an ear full.

I hit the apex before him not the other way around. He had the outside line, if he had held it I would have let him pass me before the next right hander but instead he pulled into my line! .... a lot slower than me (as he overcooked the corner, and was on the gas a lot later) now do you understand or would you like me to draw it out for you? :spanking:

You guys in the slow group amaze me, surely you heard the 5 minute warning advising you should put your pinnies away and get geared up to race..???!!!

[CHOPPA]

The problem was he missed his braking point cause he was doin a wheelstand, also he was coming up to the corner on the far left of the track i was taking the normal race line. Wheelstands look cool and are fun, im not sure if every one will agree with me but during a track day with other bikes all around is prob not the best idea. Fair enough to get upset when you get a bit of a scare like that i didnt even realise it had happen till i got back to the pits i apologised to cool the situation anyways....

Fella on the outside took a real late "turn in" and cut raj off just on mid apex. Raj was almost under the guys bike.

Unfortunately, option A is the only realistic one.

However, if you're looking for a pim... er, broker, to assist you with option B, do let me know.

Thanks for the offer but i'm not sure you fit my defnition of 'sugar daddy tho'..
Usually the sugar daddy is very old so he can't do anything at bed time, and he's rich.
Do I still need to let you know? :innocent:

However,
If you feel like buying me a bike i can touch the ground sitting on it, around 600+cc, all setted up for me, please help yourself.
:p:p:p

Your English comprehension fails you, madame. I was not offering to fill the role myself; merely to act as a broker thereof.

I personally wouldn't expect to have to buy a motorcycle as an entry ticket if I was interested in anything along those lines.

:Oops:
Sorry..ok so then thanks for the offer, do you have a precise person in mind to introduce to me? :p

... do you have a precise person in mind to introduce to me?

Are you actually offering to exchange sexual favours for racing sponsorship?

:crazy:

Ah, well, you can certainly ride a motorcycle far better than the last girl (http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=67mys8&s=2) I knew who was looking for such a deal.

:Oi:

I think I'm being over looked here. I'm young (21) so naturally I'll be good at nighttime playtime, amazingly good looking:lol: and I have a R1 that Xile could ride. So, basically I have everything BUT the money:pinch:
