OK. My hand's well and truly raised, I deserved this. After poor old Eddy/Drew/Brian/Dodgy Matt/Luke/Sue/Jamie and anyone else that would listen having to put up with pure Mair Smack-talk, I got what was coming.

Had some beers and restraunt laughes with Rossi Gal and her dad, Dodgy Matt, Mike and spaghEDDY the night before testing. Did some smack-talking. Got to the track on the test day, Mike and I got set up, then I went about running 68-69 second laps all day on a thoroughly worn out front tyre and a very shagged rear. Chucked the new rear on, set 8 blinding laps, called it a day, did some more smack-talking. Let Sue and Keiran have an early night while me and Mike went and drank all Dodgy Matts piss with Frenchy, Niki, Archer, Rachel, spaghEddy, Drew and my sister Vicki. May have smack-talked a little. Quick question. What KBer would you consider rooting should you be trapped on a desert island island with them, lost both hands and come accross them on all fours, head buried in the sand?

Anyway, Race day rolled around and with my stunning partner and vocal baby in tow, we hit the track. Smack-talking all the way. Sue set about showing off her pride and joy, couple of people even had a quick look at Keiran then it was action time. We'd fitted a new front slick to a graciously lent front wheel the night before and I declined Ol' Dodgys advise that the scrub session might be worth looking at. "Can't see the fucken point" I smack-talked as he left for a few laps. Qualifying rolled around and having ridden with Sam, Sloan and Johnny the day before I knew they'd all be quick, but I was (not so) quietly confident. As I rolled up pit lane I instantly knew something weren't right. My feeble brain quickly shut off it's smack talking and offered sweet F A asway of advice. Once on the track things seemed worse, MUCH worse. The front of the bike was bouncing around and the bars were giving the Ohlins steering damper a hell of a workout. I quickly dismissed a imprperly beaded front tyre as the culprit as I could literaly see the run out from side to side in the front rim. I may have swore, not realy clear. I very gingerly upped the pace (that's how you spell pace Sam :)) realising that I'd have to at least do two laps to even get on the grid. I did three, just to be sure. Carrying the front wheel about a foot off the deck down all the straights to minimize the wobble. Qualified 17th, fifth row and directly behind Matt Bleck in his debut outing at Minefield. Had a bit of a chat with him before the first race to guage how quick he thought he'd get off the line. Seeing as he'd never tried before, it was agreed that I'd best find someone else to aim at the back of.

Changed the front wheel between then and the race, big thanks to Dodgy and Mike for their sterling effort and MarkNZ for retrieving my tantrum thrown gloves from around the pit garage. Caught up with a shitload of mates and generaly chilled out a bit.

Race I

I knew that in a six lap race, against Sam, Nick Cole, Derek McAdam and the like, the start would be imperative. Collected my thoughts on the line and watched the lights. Anticipated them perfectly and got probably the best start of my career. I really can't remember much of the race but there was a fair amount of scrapping to get past Jay and Jamie Galway but once clear I pulled a bit of a gap, settled into a rhythm and set my sights on the three at the front, then promptly got the chequered flag. Fuck it! 4th didn't make me a happy vegemite. Luckily it was a fair bit better than 17th and the bike was doing what it should no problems. Made a couple of secret squirel chages for race two and looked forward to 12 laps.

Race II

I knew I had a shot at a win so was calm and collected on the grid. Lighs went out and BAMM, I aimed for the gaps. Carried a mint wheelie all the way to turn one and found myself in sixth out of the first turn. Glued myself to the group in front and began to pick them off one by one, enjoying parking the WBP GSXR right next to everyone in the turns, leaving them nowhere to turn in. Out braked Derek in third heading into turn one on lap two, moved to the outside of Nick Cole through the following right hander, strategically being in his way as he tried to move left through splash. Held him off to the hairpin then dispatched of Sams R6 on the middle straight. Seventeenth to first in a lap and a half had me grinning so I set about making a break. Led for a lap and a bit then heading through the infield I had the strange feeling Sam was all over me so I knuckled down a little harder and "OH SHIT" lost the front. I quickly ran to the bike as Sam and Nick shot past, restarting it but the left peg was at a funny angle and a bit loose so I parked it for the second time in as many meetings and watched from the tyre wall. Watched an epic 12 lap battle between Nick Cole and Sam, swapping the lead almost every lap and another between Johnny and Sloan. Those guys were actually bashing fairings in the hairpin. Frenchy had a blinder but that blond Poofter pulled one outta the bag to finish 7th! TonyOK did all he could to pull in the jet of a Gixxer but no Honda had a shit show on that day. Big ups to Matt Bleck for a strong race and thanks for the acknowledgements as I sat fuming guys.

Huge thanks to Sue for taking the over all parenting duties for the whole weekend and letting me get on with my selfish sport of choice. WBP Racing is fortunate to have fantastic support from Wealth Buy Property and Easystart Rental Management along with Dunlop and of course long time backing by Quasimoto Leathers. Actually Brett and Paula, ummmm, these leathers are getting a little thin, can't work out why. Thanks to Robert and Dennis from Crown Kiwi Technical for the spring changes and constant helpfull advise throughout the weekend too.

What have we learnt? When you're confident, shut your hole.

Thanks for reading, catch y'all at Round III

PS. Anyone with funny photos, feel free to post em up, I aint proud anymore.

Actually, that little cocksucker scored more points than me this round. Something his sponsor showed great delight in rubbing my nose in at the close of proceedings. Beaten by a friggen spaghetti slurper, how bloody embarassing.

Trashie = Frenchy in Sues undies again

long time backing by Quasimoto Leathers. Actually Brett and Paula, ummmm, these leathers are getting a little thin, can't work out why.

New Leathers ordered, complete with KNOX racer AEGIS 9 Plate race back protector and KNOX integrated chest protector.
Leathers your custom color featuring all the top specs Quad Stitching 1.4mm A Grade cow external Titanium armour etc, complete with WRP Racing logos, OHLINS and DUNLOP Logos in Embriodered badges as well as QUASiMOTO rubber badges.
Oh and we order you a pair of our new QUASiMOTO KNOX SPS race glove, the glove that WILL prevent damage to the Scaphiod by offering a Non high impact Knox slip plate which prevents the "grab effect"
(the glove prevents your hand hitting the ground hard, it will hit the ground and slide on the SPS preventing high impact energy smashing the bones in your hand, very clever eh !)

Anyway, after that marketing plug ! we are thrilled with your performance and you have proven to be our most valued sponsored rider whom we will continue to support as much as we are able

well done mate !!

White trash
26th June 2008, 08:23
Thanks Brett. I really value the support I get from your good self and lovely wife. Without it, I'd be extremely poor having to replace leathers every six months. Lol.

Regarding the gloves, the set I got off you last time, 104s (that replaced the TPU spec race gloves) are by FAR the best gloves I've ever raced in. They're so bloody comfortable.

I was looking out for you but didn't see you, and Jimmy didn't bother to tell you that I was sitting in the car feeding bubs when you came over at the end of the day.

I was so excited during the second race, and giving running commentary to Keiran (not that he was particularly interested). Then when Jimmy came off some people standing near me started laughing so I walked off once I saw him get up again. Turned out that Keiran wanted boob juice (again!) so I didn't get to see the rest of the race.

It's hard work taking a 3 week old to the race track. Not sure how Mrs Kickingzebra did it all the time, but she has my respect.

Thanks to everyone who said such nice things to me about my gorgeous little man. Obviously I think he's gorgeous, but it's nice when other people say it.

i dont particularly think its very nice to laugh at a person coming off a bike, and anyone that did, can go XXXk themselves. i think it is very poor judgement on their behalf..
