[Sparky Bills]

So who's going to the Manfeild track day on the 15th??, and Who wants to ride up??
Dont know when im leaving pram yet, but if anyones keen to join me let me know!
Hoping for good weather!!

[Blakamin]

Could be... will let ya know!
[edit] NOOOOOOOoooooo!... unless I get sacked tomorrow, I'm flat out next weekend :angry2: :angry2: :angry2:

[Hooks]

Let me know what time you are leaving and I'll try to get down there and ride back up with ya .... :yeah: I'm always keen as !! :ride: I was hoping to have some decent riding gear so that I could get out on the track but I missed out on the last auction bugger it :angry: .... so I'm still waiting .... :unsure:

[Racey Rider]

Central Districts Touring Club?

Are race bikes allowed? If so I hope to be there. :ride:

Whats the cost?

[claire]

but the guys are heading down Friday and staying the weekend down there. They do the trip every year I've done it once when I was still a pillion and was bored to tears at the track all day with no wheels. Chris will be there on s 04 R1 and I think he'll be accompanied by a VFR800 anniversary model, ZXR750RR, ZXR400.

I'll be leaving here Param about 0800 it's limited numbers so first in best dressed.

I imagine there will be a contingent leaving WMCC too so I'll hook up with those lot at the Southwards car museum turnoff.

[Sparky Bills]

Slow, Med, Fast and race classes!
I think its about $30-40 for the day.
I will have the R1 and the Ducati up there.

Sounds like a go.
Count me in.

[Two Smoker]

Looks like myself and MR might be there :shifty: only if the weather is good.......

So you better bloody turn on the good weather :angry2:

Oh yeah.... are they letting race bikes on? or do i have to jimmy up some road gear????

[Sparky Bills]

Sweet dude.
Look out for me on the track.
Am trying to get new Sparking knee sliders, so should be hard to miss! :2thumbsup

[Two Smoker]

Ill bring mine too :msn-wink:

[Drunken Monkey]

I was going to go with Bruce, but er, that doesn't look like its happening now...

[Coyote]

Do you have to tape up headlights and take off indicators? Cause I can ride up there (at 70kph :angry: ) if I don't have to worry too much about that

[jimbo600]

Do you have to tape up headlights and take off indicators? Cause I can ride up there (at 70kph :angry: ) if I don't have to worry too much about that

Just tape up glass (mirrors indicators lights etc) you can do that on the day. Also pays to turn off headlights as the heat can melt the adhesive in the tape. For those dudes who can't turn off headlights unplug them. Some folk remove mirrors but I leave them on as it pays to know what's going on behind you. It's not a race and you can't rely on people to take the proper line. I also like to see the look on WT face when I outbrake him.

[Coyote]

I'm gonna have to leave pretty damn early to get there. Upper Hutt to Manfeild at 70kph (when the cops are around anyway :shifty: )

[White trash]

Ride departing WMCC at 7:15am.

Jimbo600 Out break me? Boy, you better go practice falling over, I'll be there in a minute.

Sparky I see an R1/Gixxer track battle comin' on. Shame about all your race experiance versus my distinct lack thereof....

[Motoracer]

Anyone know if it's the long track or short?

[svs]

I'll be there. (providing the weathers not too crap).

Will be taking the race bike up on the trailer so there will be space should anyone need a 'lift' home.

[Coyote]

I'll be there. Dad will take the bike on the tralier, as he doesn't think I'll keep to the 70kph rule

[Quasievil]

mE SUPER KEEN BUT DONT FANCY RIDING DOWN (CAPS) On the day anyone got a trailer for the Quasi ??

[Motoracer]

mE SUPER KEEN BUT DONT FANCY RIDING DOWN (CAPS) On the day anyone got a trailer for the Quasi ??

Maybe, you and Drunken Monkey should hook up?

[Two Smoker]

I'll be there. (providing the weathers not too crap).

Will be taking the race bike up on the trailer so there will be space should anyone need a 'lift' home.

So does that mean that race bikes are allowed??? Also do you have to book in advance???

MR what time do you think you will leave on Saturday morning (2amish) or Friday afternoon/evening?

[White trash]

Race bikes are normally welcome.

[Motoracer]

MR what time do you think you will leave on Saturday morning (2amish) or Friday afternoon/evening?

Hmmmmm, will let you know a bit later. I need to sort out some crap first.

[svs]

race bikes are welcome, they'll be running a seperate class for them. At least that's what CD bloke told me.

Don't think there's any pre-book, just turn up on the day and sign your life away.

[Sparky Bills]

There is no pre booking!
FIRST IN FIRST SERVE!!!!
So get there nice and early!!!
Am trying to get Vid Cam for a couple of sessions, so we could have some fun with that!

[Two Smoker]

Well MR, yourve heard it from Sparky, NICE AND EARLY

[Motoracer]

Well MR, yourve heard it from Sparky, NICE AND EARLY

Yea... so... just what exactly are you trying to imply here? :confused:

[rG-150]

Sounds like fun. I might come up if i can ride up with someone( dont know the way) Ive never been to a track day... is there anything i need to bring? and will slower, inexperienced riders like me have a chance on the track?

[Quasievil]

Bloody long way to go if no guarantee of a go on the track mmmm Quasi think its risky

[Sparky Bills]

RG.. Sounds like we leavin pram bout 8am'ish, So will be coming through Levin bout 8.30ish.
Welcome to join everyone (or whoever im with)

Quasievil..They usually let people who didnt get to go out first time go out the next time. (if that makes any sense to anyone?) so everyone gets a chance to go out.
People can always go Motel styles in Feilding. ("RaceWay Motel")
Would only cost about $20 each-MAX if you outta towners stay in the same unit.
Thats what lot of people do during Winter series. Its right next to the track!
Sounds like MR, RR and TS are needing a place to stay too. So get in touch and work something out!
Just an idea.

[jimbo600]

Easy to find keep an eye out in the forum to see which way everyone is going and at what time, or make your own way to Feilding, find the mobil gas station and take the road opposite. Trackdays have a slow class and it's tailor made for dudes like yourself. No pressure, no dramas, just awesome fun. No one there is out to judge other riders on ability it's purely a personal learning experience. You might have to be in possession of full leathers though. Other than that go for it.

[Sparky Bills]

Thats the scary thing Jimbo, YOU DONT!!
Only helmet and gloves!
NOT RECOMENDED!!

The more gear you can get, the better.
Boy ive seen some nasty stuff. :shutup:

[rG-150]

You mean Cordura??
If so, That'll be fine.
So long as your covered.

[Sparky Bills]

Um I don't what?


Sorry.
You dont need full riding gear.
I wasnt mean "YOU", Just answering your question.

[jimbo600]

Sorry.
You dont need full riding gear.

Primo, I'll be there in a thong and jandals (or as us Pomms say flipflops) then.

[rG-150]

Cool, should be all good to go then :headbang:


RG.. Sounds like we leavin pram bout 8am'ish, So will be coming through Levin bout 8.30ish.
Welcome to join everyone (or whoever im with)

wicked, i'll try and follow you's up then...i'll probly wait at a gas station on the main rd thru levin :yes: so keep an eye out 4 me :niceone:

[rG-150]

and will i have to put all my overflows into a containor and all that?

[Sparky Bills]

OK...
Nobody goes behind Jimbo!!!
No human being needs to see that! :shutup:

Sweet RG, See you then.

[Sparky Bills]

and will i have to put all my overflows into a containor and all that?

Only if you want to.
They dont usually need to have that done to a road bike.
But it is always safer if you do.
Its your choice.
I wont be on the R1, But the Ducati has already had it done. So Im sorted.

MAN ITS GONNA BE A SLOW WEEK!!! :baby:

[jimbo600]

and will i have to put all my overflows into a containor and all that?

Nope, just bring some tape to tape up your glass. Apart from that make sure there's fuel in your bike.

[Slipstream]

Nope, just bring some tape to tape up your glass. Apart from that make sure there's fuel in your bike.

...and rubber on your wheels.

[Sparky Bills]

Holly Shit!!!
Are tyres made of rubber now!!!??
What an age we live in! :niceone: :msn-wink:

[Riff Raff]

Are tyres made of rubber now!!!??
So that's where I've been going wrong!

[Sparky Bills]

Tell me about it!
Ive been getting those eatable ones! :killingme
Next tyre change, Ill have to kick the ass of the partsman who sold them to me! :mad:

[RiderInBlack]

Well I was going to go, but I have just had a call from some of my old BOP CC mates in Tauranga. Seem I've been invited to a brithday party.

Mmm, party, beer, dancing and chasing women
or
Going around and around a track getting my sorry arse kick by all the hotshots.

Na, sorry dudes, but party wins hands down.

Will have to wait until March and do Ruapuna instead.

[Sparky Bills]

Rumour has it, There is another track day on the 5th of Feb.
Was pretty hard choice for you to make.
But ideally, I think you made the right one.
Have a good weekend either way.

The 5th has been binned. National Jetsprints have Manfeild that day now which is just as well as I have to work over that weekend anyway.

[FROSTY]

The glare would be blinding

[LB]

If it's fine I'll be riding up, Hamish can't come as he's working. I'm not planning on going out on the track, happy to watch everyone (esp Jimbo in the thong.......)

[White trash]

The latest Michelin Pilot car tyres are the first tyres to contain 0% natural rubber. The tyres on your bike have sweet FA rubber in them and in 10 years, all new tyres will contain no rubber at all.

Thankyou Dr Trash!
You may now have a lollie pop out of the jar. :not: :laugh:

[Coyote]

How early do we have to be there? I don't wanna miss out

[Two Smoker]

Just about to see if my bike will start... Make sure on the day you watch out for my moving roadblock of a ZXR with me the nana rider on it....

Scrutineering starts at 9.

[Two Smoker]

Scrutineering starts at 9.

AAARRGGGGHHHH, there's scrutinering :eek5:

[Quasievil]

AAARRGGGGHHHH, there's scrutinering :eek5:

Whats that entail (intail err fuck cant spell)

is it a warranted bike ? nah racing bikes dont have warrants, what do they check???

[Blakamin]

AAARRGGGGHHHH, there's scrutinering :eek5:
yeah..... "its got tyres" away ya go!!!

[Drunken Monkey]

Whats that entail (intail err fuck cant spell)

is it a warranted bike ? nah racing bikes dont have warrants, what do they check???

They just check to make sure you don't have any dangerous bits floating around. It's not a fine-tooth-comb inspection. They eye-ball you and your bike on the first run, making sure you're not wearing jandals and you don't have razor blades stuck to your knee sliders.
If you have bits of plastic dragging along the ground barely holding on with lockwire, they'll send you back to the pits.
Strictly speaking they're supposed to do that at Pukekohe as well, just like the 'first timers' breifing, of which I have never seen. I found the Manfield marshals and crew more professional than at Puke'. They also made everyone attend the briefing, regardless of how many times you have been through it, which is probably a fair idea.
You get the idea...

[vifferman]

I hope that means they'll be recyclable.

[Slipstream]

... in a cage :(

But if anyone wants a lift due to whatever reason, PM me and I'll pick you up along the way on Sat morning. I'll be leaving from WMCC aswell, but due to being on 4 wheels and not 2, I'll be showing up to Manfield slightly later than the bikes.:cool2:

[Slipstream]

I have just been informed that the bike departure will be from WMCC at 7.15am ... I'm not that keen for that time, therefore I'll be departing Wellington at 8.30am instead.

Also, my 1.3lr has just been upgraded to a V8 for the day :)

But how do they know your bikes not shod with WT"'s "Claytons" tyres? :unsure:

Yep! they both taste like rubber!.

NEXT!

[Sparky Bills]

The whole day is pretty lax!
Just dont do anything stupid, like...CRASH! and everyone should have a good day!
The check over is usually just checking lights/indicators are taped, no loose bits, and that the brakes work.
Nothing to worry about at all!!! Trust me!

[Quasievil]

wELL i HAVE MY ACCOMODATION BOOKED RIGHT (FUCK caps on I always write work shit in caps sorry) anyway as I was saying I have me accomodation booked and a crew to come with, Mrs Evil, Gixxerboy and me all is almost sought, just NEED A TRAILER !!!!! to tow the bikes down on and I will be sweet as any help appreciated :doobey:

[sels1]

So who's going to the Manfeild track day on the 15th??, and Who wants to ride up??

Workin on it....will be weather dependant too. Will be at Sthwards corner if I can make it.

[Krusti]

I'm gonna have to leave pretty damn early to get there. Upper Hutt to Manfeild at 70kph (when the cops are around anyway :shifty: )
Stupid bloody rule. Alot safer at 100. But then thats nothing new, I know. Bugger them I say!

I think it has something to do with the way we drive in Godzone. Need to teach these young people how it feels to be overtaken cause the rest of us "experianced drivers" in NZ would rather die than let that happen. Only time they will get to experiance it. :killingme Enjoy the feeling while it lasts :scooter:

[Sparky Bills]

If its a race bike, its just the same as any other club day.
If youve raced it before, You'll be sweet.

[Riff Raff]

Aaahhhhh, see i have a problem there :( ....

I'll take a supply of 14 gauge angiocaths with me - if you crash I stick one in one of your veins!! :doctor: That should be incentive enough for you!

One of the big furniture moving Shell ones??? just make sure you pack heaps of foam and blankets..... should squeeze three bikes in no worries....

[Drunken Monkey]

I'll see what I can find at Hirequip.

[Quasievil]

Okay, how will you get it down here though? you got a car tow it here hook up behind the pajero stow the bikes and away ?

I have a 2 room unit booked across road from Manfield I will see if we can sqeeze you in there or do you have other arragements

[White trash]

I might be able to make it along for a look, where at the track do KB people hang out when they aren't riding?

Look for a Silver Gixxer 1K on one wheel. That'll be me.

If you see one with one wheel, I'll be at the nearest hospital.

[jimbo600]

I might be able to make it along for a look, where at the track do KB people hang out when they aren't riding?

Normally around the pits or on the seated area overlooking the dummygrid exit on to the track. If you see a nervous sweaty looking Pomm on a gsxr600 well that'll be me.

[Quasievil]

One of the big furniture moving Shell ones??? just make sure you pack heaps of foam and blankets..... should squeeze three bikes in no worries....

I think thats the ticket for sure Chris will have a look around for a goodin

[V Twin Raver]

I've got a mint dedicated bike trailer if you want to take a look at it and see if it meets your needs. Its Kawaski Green with three rails for wheels/tyres to slot into. Only prob it is really for Moto X bikes so fat rear tyres in rails could be an issue. You are free to have a look and see if it will suit. Also - the middle bike must mount backwards - no biggie really.

Cheers dude, that would be superb. I might trundle over tomorrow during the day if you're not working, otherwise tomorrow night if that is ok?

Quasi - I can take the trailer & my bike down to Hamiltron on the back of the Diamante, then we can swap it over and go from yours.

If it's too much trouble for you Quasi, I can check it over - I can tow it down to yours on Friday. Otherwise I'll try and hook up at with you at Raver's tomorrow night.
Oddly enough, I will be in Hamiltron for at least half the day tomorrow...

Roger, got your number. Thanks for sorting out the 'commo, been all over the show today.
I'm not on a tight schedule tomorrow - not even technically supposed to be working - but there are some things you've just got to get done. I'll make time to catch up for lunch.

Will arrange to get the trailer with 'raver tomorrow night.

[Racey Rider]

Please excuse me interupting your "Travel from Hamilton" thread for a moment, But a question about the classes structure on the day.

I guess most of you guys will be riding in the "Fast" class. And I guess the best place for me and Blue Thunder (being a 150cc) will be in the "Intermediate" class. (which is good as I'll be able to get some video of you lot doing your thing.( Don't crash WT before I get the camera working!)).
Is any one else putting themselves in the "Intermediate" class? :scooter:

I guess most of you guys will be riding in the "Fast" class. And I guess the best place for me and Blue Thunder (being a 150cc) will be in the "Intermediate" class. (which is good as I'll be able to get some video of you lot doing your thing.( Don't crash WT before I get the camera working!)).
Is any one else putting themselves in the "Intermediate" class? :scooter:
You tempt me to bring the RG150 along.... :shifty:

If only it had a new rear tyre :disapint:

[Motoracer]

Woohoo, got the leave approved for Friday and Sat so I am all good to go! I even bothered to go for my Full for a cage today so I can legally take Mr TS and Ms RR down to Manfield and back now. Shit, I am going all legal? (almost) What's up with that? Maybe it's cause I am nearing 21 and it must be that being a mature responsible adult thingie. (Yea right! :laugh: )

Can't wait till Sat, to ride the titties off me baby (bike) :doobey:

[Rodders]

:scooter: Weather forecast is looking great. Few of us are riding down on Friday the 14th from Papakura Autobarn 8.30am taking in some backroads on the way if anyone else is keen. Also staying at Raceway motel Quasi so might see you there. Is the Kwaka being lightened for some quick laps. Will be there on Lucky Strike RGV250 as a mobile chicane to make the track more interesting for the quick guys and I'm to scared of binning the R1.

PM me anyone if you are keen on joining us on the ride down to Fielding.

I was planning on going in the intermediate class, not sure why but I figured the top class will be very fast and full of racers like MR, I will get in their way

[James Deuce]

I was planning on going in the intermediate class, not sure why but I figured the top class will be very fast and full of racers like MR, I will get in their way

I used to think the same way, but soon found out that the only place I was getting in their way was the really fast corners. They were still faster than me everywhere else, but I learned much more from being in the fast group, and eventually clicked that they weren't suicidal braking for a double apex 200km.hr sweeper 100m later than me.

[White trash]

Truth be known, mate. The "medium" class is where most people see themselves, so it's normally the most full.

The fast class will be FUCKEN fast ( I will be in it after all) but the riders also have a better idea of what's going on and how to safely get around other riders.

[Racey Rider]

You tempt me to bring the RG150 along.... :shifty:

If only it had a new rear tyre :disapint:

I happen to have a spare set of Dunlop TT900 GP's here I was going to sell. ($60) 90/80/17 & 100/80/17

They're half worn. Your can have (free) the rear one if you bring your 150 and play cat and mouse with me. (ie. don't just ride away from me).
I'm sure I could learn a lot from trying to catch you TS. (as long as you don't mind me knocking you off in the last session of the day in a last desperate attempt to get past you!).

I also have a Brand new (old stock) front tyre if anyone wants a cheap one.
Dunlop GPR-20F 110/80/17 Never been riden on. $75 If anyone interested let me know and I'll bring it to Manfield for you to see.

The guys in the fast class have probably been to a couple of track days before. Just stay on your line and they have to get past you!
Its not up to you to get out of their way!
Would be the best class to go in, for people with 600cc bike upwards. (providing you want to go fast.)
The racers have their own class, so will not be in the fast class. The fast class is for all the wannabe racers!! (not looking at anyone in particular...WT)
Its just gonna be a great day for everyone!!

[V Twin Raver]

I just went to look at a furniture trailer, it would have done the job nicely but they want like $160 notes for 1 1/2 days hire theiving buggars so if all good I would really appreciate that mate big ups for you mate:yes:

Will clear my PM box now lol

[Coyote]

My dads not going to let me race on saturday cause we don't have nylon bungs 'just in case' something 'might break'. Anyone know where I can get nylon bungs in the welly region by saturday?

We also have to tape up the lights right?

[svs]

I have some that are a bit bent/shorter than usual, but they might be OK for you. If you can get into Wellington tomorrow you can have a look at them.

Saturday is not a race, it's just a track day. The idea is not to crash and if you are going to start getting onto the track for the winter series you will need all the track time you can get as you don't get much in the way of practice on a race day.

Just tell the old man that you'll take it easy. Any yes you have to tape the lights up, but that can be done when you're up there. Plenty of people (me included) should have duct tape.

I should be able to re-attach the brake lights to go over there to have a look at those bungs.
I know Saturday is just a day to have fun, I wanted to use this day to see the track and get an idea of what its like to ride on it.
Looks like Dad is going to let me go, he knows I won't be nuts out there.

[Slipstream]

I will be going up in a cage :( (but the coolest cage around: it's for sale too)
If anyone wants a lift I'll be leaving Wellington 8:30-9:00 and staying for the most to the whole day at Manfield. I will have NC30_chick (The glorious leader :) )with me too.

Anyone else who wants a lift up cos of not having a working bike, or have hurt themselves, or have tyrets (sp?) are welcome to come travel with me.
Give me a PM for pick up time and location.

[bungbung]

or have tyrets (sp?) .

tourettes?

tourettes?

Or more precisely:

"I've got FUCKING tourettes!"

HELP , how the fuck do I tie a bike with fairings onto the trailer ??

I figure around the top of the front suspension each side then down to a tie down point, BUT if I do that the pressure on the fairings will be huger than a huge thing, how do I get around this one ????

Can you go inside the fairings, over the bottom triple clamps??
You dont want ANY pressure on the fairings at all!
Dont put them over your grips either. They will just slide off.
Up inside, NOT over fairings is the best way.

[ajturbo]

shit!
was planing on going....

BUT i have to feed ALL the dogs.. there are nearly 20 running around here and 6 of them are pups .... and there lies the problem.... they need to be feed 3 times a day!!!

so you guys and girls go out there and have a lot of fun, learn heaps and keep out of the way of ..... that's right i'm not going :brick: :brick: :crybaby:

Thanks Sparky Bills, I just spoke to Whitetrash, he says compress the rear through the rear foot rests and hold the front with a strap each side of the front around the bottom of the suspension, this sounds feesable and he should know so will do this and see how it all goes .

You bringing your R1 or the Ducati ?

Hard to explain, but around each handle bar, with the tie down looping over the suspension adjustment peg thingie... And one on the back wheel.

Sniff, sniff, I's don't got nuffin to ride on Saturday. When's the next trackday?
And Slipstream, can I have a lift? I'm obsessive compulsive though, and HAVE to sing "the wheels on the bus..." ALL the way there? Hope you don't mind.

For around $30 you can buy a "handlebar harness" (Oxford make one, also another brand that I can't think of) that slips onto the handgrip and then goes over the opposite side where you hook the tie down onto to the harness. Repeat with other side. We use it on Hamish's bike on the ferry - wonderful for faired bikes.

Most bike shops should stock them.

Sparky Bills: you have some in stock, you might be able to explain how they work better than I have

[White trash]

Get the bikes tied on, Qaus'? I hope myu slightly incoherent ramblings made at least a little sense.

Well I'm used to the girls singing. Since they're not going on this trip, I was actually going to ask NC30 to sing "baa baa black sheep", but "the wheels on the bus..." will be OK ... I guess. Do you do the actions to the song :unsure:

Gimme a PM for pick up details.

At the beginning of the day, someone takes out people who have never been to the track, so you can get to know it before you go out.
And yes there is a slow class.
The slow and Med classes have a lead rider who no one is allowed to pass!
They control the speed.
I think the slow class is limited to 130-140km's.
You should be fine. :Punk:

Our guys left here at 9 this morning. I think they're taking a scenic route to Palmy which will no doubt include a few back roads. Haven't heard from the so they must be OK!! They looked pretty excited about something I still haven't worked out whether it was the track day, being away from the gals for the weekend or skiving off work two hours early while the rest of us still had to work.

I'll be going but not riding as well (on the track anyway) - I think there'll be a few of us doing that. I figure it'll be good to see how a track day works (for future reference) and to hang out in the sun doing bike stuff for the day.

I'm not going on the track...my gear isn't good enough ... :weep: but I'm gonna be there and the BBQ after will be a cracker !! There is space to crash out later if you want to .... so get your sad butt up here or else !!

I'm just sitting here waiting for Motoracer and TS and RR to get in from Auckland then a couple of hours sleep .....and ....then it's TRACK DAY !!!! :beer:

[StoneChucker]

Sheesh, if I had my bike for tomorrow, I'd ride in jeans! Yeah, ok I'll mosey on up. I won't be drinking and therefore crashing at your place, but I'll stay as long as I can.

Then again, I may stay up all night surfing the net, and sleep right through it. Time will tell :whistle:

[spudchucka]

It was great meeting some of the KB crew at Manfield today. Unfortunately I had to leave early to fulfill my domestic duties and look after the 2 year old for the afternoon, I love spending time with my daughter but she has slept most of the afternoon, which has left me slightly bored and wishing I was still at the track. Oh well, next time I might harden up and get out on the track myself.

For those that weren't there, the weather was primo, (though a little windy) and the turn out was huge. Hopefully with such a good turn out there will be more of these events to come.

[Riff Raff]

Good to meet so many of you,although there were many I missed cos I disappeared onto the infield to takephotos. Willhave to wait til I get back to AUckland to see whether they are any good,and if so I will post them. PARTY time now. Yeehaa :banana: :banana: :banana:

Well, I had a good day spectating. Two Smoker is pretty cool, briefly met a couple of you, I was the young one in the blue shirt. Hopefully next time i'm up I'll be racing (in the slow class, of course) Saw MR (pointed out by TS) was tearing up, and WT was wheelying on a supermoto last thing I saw. All in all, a bitchin' day. Now I want to get something like a WR250F or XR250 and motard trim it for my license.

Hope to you meet you guys again!

Haydens bike's all tucked away in the garage with mine.

Oi! Hope they don't make any babies.

Gay bikes don't make babies :devil2: :p :moon:

Well, after a night of sickness I get to wake up at 5.40 ...AM...feeling a tad better and start getting ready to go to Manfield...kids were safely transported to babysitters and after a bit of confusion set off for my first drive to Manfield (as most the time I've gone, I had been looking at the back of a helmet). Got There without a problem .... except for a little chat with a nice young :Police: .... There were a lot of people there eary on in the day...but then I realised there was an auction going on in the front of Manfield :whocares: I was supposed to be up there filming WT doing wheelies and going fast, but the track was dirty and he insisted he wasn't going to do any wheelies ... I shouldn't have believed him :mad:

So anyway, to summarise, I got terrible footage, there were heaps of wheelies, MrMelon rode on track with a roll bar, I started to feel sick again, met some people, left early got really sunburnt on the face, almost fell asleep in the car (driving home) and didn't eat anything all day/night (cos I was scared I'd bring it up again), got home to sugarfied and sick kids.:wacko:


MANFIELD ROCKS!!!

Chain got a wicked kink in it so i couldnt get back out there :crybaby: So i watched for the rest of the day

Sorry to hear you had a stink day 150.
I saw that someone on a RG150 had come off, but didn't know you where a KB member, or that you just needed a chain to be back out there. I had a spare chain there that you could have used on the RG. :argh:

I also had a problem on the day. I got out on the track and got 1 lap done before the flywheel came off on my 150. It muched the magneto and left the bike dead with no spark. At first I couldn't figer out why I had no spark. I had brought my "Spares" bike as well, so I changed every electical component over to try and sort the problem. Finally as a last resort took the flywheel cover off to find the flywheel off the crank, broken chuck key and muched magneto.
Tho frustrating, I had the replacement parts I needed right there on my "Spares" bike. But I run into a problem. I couldn't get the spare rotor off to get the chuck key I needed. I asked around and found two guys with rotor pullers with them, but of course, they weren't the right size. :brick:
Even tried going into ANZA in P North, but they didn't have the right tool available ether.
So after coming back to Mainfield at 4pm after spending the whole day trying to get this bike going again, I put on my best :( face and told my sorry story to a group of club members. There was much violin music and "O you poor thing" to be said, but they gave me $30 of my entree fee back seen I only got 1 lap in. Thankyou Lads (and lad'esses), Very fair of you!
So I didn't get to meet everyone or get any video done of the track day.
But I did see some poser cavring up the track on a GSXR1000!
Gives me a new respect for Homo's that does! :niceone:

Hoping for better luck next time.

We need a sub forum on here. Gixxer stylz.

That would certainly cut the bullshit on the main forum down....
