[FROSTY]

[jrandom]

You'll be spectating with your walking frame, then? Good man, don't let age and infirmity get you down!

Hmmm... in that case, I guess I should bring along a thermos full of Horlicks and a hot water bottle.

I think it might only be for those racing though

[What?]

As long as the world is still turning, I will be there.

[Kwaka-Kid]

Will hopefully be there to support KB'ers (instead of racing for a change, it sounds much cheaper this way!) If im not @ Harrisville on the kwaka.

At this stage looks good :)

[Yarg]

Would anybody know or if there is a website to look at , if the Pre Classic 1982 class is racing that weekend ?? thanks. :spudwave:

[bugjuice]

is the track day on Friday or Saturday? And is it an open track day, or restricted? Either way, I'll be up for it, got a few mates in various classes to support!

Saturday is the official practice and Friday is the unofficial practice. Don't know if anyone is allowed to jump in. I'd say you aren't but I don't know for sure.

Even if I come last like last time, at least I get to have 3 track days in a row!! How cool is that?! :banana:

that would be pretty cool.. and remember, there's new bits to learn on the track now.. They've had 6 months or so of pulling it up, so hopefully it's better than before..

Well guessin that Friday will be the free-for-all, if anything, then Saturday will be for you smug lot.. :yeah:

Yep, I want to do the full 3 days, so that I can go full tits on Sunday.

[Riff Raff]

Does that mean you want me to wear your leathers so I can put boobie indentations into them????? :shake:

[Motoracer]

Hmmmm, I'll let you know. How are your new leathers coming along btw? Do you wear it with the inner linning?

[Riff Raff]

Nah took the lining out straight away - too hot for it at the mo. I find them really comfortable for riding in - and it's funny seeing peoples reactions when I stop and take my helmet off and they realise I'm a girl !!!

[BM-GS]

I see there are no answers to the essential questions of:

1. When does it all start on Sunday?

2. How do you recognise a KB-er when they're racing? (that's a serious question, btw)

3. How do you distract a 2-year-old long enough to actually get to watch the racing?


I should be there, I'll be the one with the wife, kiddie & hassled look...

Good luck to those who are actually gonna be out there doin' it!

1. 10am should be safely before the racing starts - dont know the exact time though.

2. Keep an eye on these forums - The ones I know of (please add if I've missed you) Motoracer - Blue GSXR600 no 15 F2; TwoSmoker - Black/purple ZXR400 (dont know the number) and red leathers in F3 (I think). Who else is going? Curious George? FluffyCat?

3. Speaking from no experience, get them excited about brooommm brooommm bikes.......

Not sure if hoon is going yet....

Otherwise, walk around the pits and look out for KB shirts :niceone:

[Kwaka-Kid]

YOU MEAN ITS SERIOUS!!!??? Im going to be a laughing stock on my rugged bike...

[Riff Raff]

The bad news people is that I'm doing ambulance for this so just warning you all not to crash!
Eeek I've just found out that I've been put down for all three days - how desperately do I need extra cash by working 7 days in a row?

Meh, its been too long, im going to go hard and risk crashing.... what have i got to lose??? Ive got no bikes virtually.... So prep that stretcher for me :)

[Kwaka-Kid]

Amen to that!

I can never do it despite trying etc i always get worried and slow up a touch and run into stuff now with alot more caution esp. with tyres in mind, and to be perfectly honest its a mind-#u$*, Because half the time i bet the worn out tyres prolly would have held on, but i just cant bring myself to find out the hard way.

But after all that, I still get bashed into (twice now in the last few months racing!) and damage gets done! So go for it dude! i loose any which way i look at it.

Damn straight... and ill look at taking off some motard legs for you :niceone:

[FROSTY]

mate Ive got some special tyres to deal with the motard guys--theyve got razor blades on the sidewalls -now lets see ya do a point N squirt with ya foot down -it;ll be his first and last

[jrandom]

Due to extreme arm-twisting from TS, I might be there with Number One Daughter. Mebbe.

If you don't know me because you've spent all your life in Wellington being an overfunded Ducati groupie or something, and I'm not wandering around with someone you do know, I'll be the one in a KB T-shirt running around the pits trying to stop a fluffy blonde overexcited 3-year-old girl from burning herself on any exhaust headers.

I look like the photo in my profile, except without the Zeal.

Good on ya dude!! Why don't you make it a family event and bring Sarah around too with daughter # 2?

If you get a bit lost in the pits, look out for a #15 van with some bling bling chromies!

[jrandom]

Sarah doesn't want to come. There will be Stinky Motorcycles (tm) and Dodgy Biker People (tm), up with which she will not put.

Will do.

[Posh Tourer :P]

As opposed to Stinky Biker People ('s Gear) (tm) and Dodgy Motorcycles (tm) which are ok?

I know I know its not dodgy anymore..... but I hear your gear has achieved at least a half crouch...

[jrandom]

I hear your gear has achieved at least a half crouch...

It has to live outside on the back porch, now.

Sometimes, I think I hear it scritching and snuffling around in the night.

[Two Smoker]

Hehehe those chromies have the ultimate bling factor and look so PHAT!!!

[Sparky Bills]

Good luck to everyone who is racing!!!
Go hard!!! And hope all come out safe!

HAVE FUN!!!

[Two Smoker]

[Kwaka-Kid]

ISADM NOT KDIDING YOU MY SCRESN SHAKING

ansyways iml eb there for youy chriss ksut as soona as this wearsa off

scuks i lost ms motjo

[Riff Raff]

OT... You going to the Blue Watch training day on monday 7th???
Nup .......

[Riff Raff]

Well todays practice was delayed til 12pm due to work still being done on the track. Unfortunately these delays meant that the bikes were the first to scrub in the new tarseal! I'll let the riders update everyone on how they feel about the track - I went round it a few times in the ute and can see potential for trouble in a few areas. There are a few new bumps too - one noticeable one on the front straight that lifts the rear wheel on all bikes about 10cm, and causes a few wobbles leading into the first corner. The track is also very dusty - it should get a good sweeping tonight, but an overnight downpour wouldn't go amiss.
There was only one accident today - fortunately only minor injury to the rider, but his GSXR-600 is fucked! Bike did several somersaults after rider braked on the front straight.
Good to watch Motoracer out there today, and to catch up with Lynda Blair, Hamish and 750Y.
I won't be working at the track tomorrow, but I will be there - you can't keep me away when there's lots of bikes around. I'll be flitting about the place taking photos, generally getting in the way (and hopefully not being conned into being a marshall), and possibly doing a spot of umbrella girl duties for MR if he can find an umbrella !!! I don't have to wear a short skirt do I?

[Riff Raff]

Dont know that we would complain if you were umbrella girl without your skirt on :banana:
Crikey we don't want to scare everyone away, do we? Altho it would give MR the advantage if he was the only one on the track...

[Kwaka-Kid]

:spudwave:howdy lady

:spudwhat: who me?

:love: yes u baby!

:o *it cant be me?*

[FROSTY]

bugger --it woulda been a vouyers dream

[MadDuck]

Well its a given I will be there skulking in the background on Sunday cos i just love to watch you guys race.

Whats a vouyer ? :shake:

[Riff Raff]

Yesterday I happened to whisper something about a special birthday to the organisers, so this morning MR was presented with a cake at the riders briefing (see pic).
I spent the day skulking around the track taking photos, and most of them have turned out ok. I have a couple of MR and TS on the hairpin below - still sorting through the rest.
MR started really well in his first race and was making really good progress - I think he was doing 1.05s, and then his chain broke. So tonight he will be burning the midnight oil to repair his bike so he can race tomorrow.
TS managed to get round the track without any mishaps - I'm not sure of his times tho.
All in all a very good day with some great racing.

[jaybee]

happy birthday MR was expecting to see Riff Raff jump out of a cake in the piccy

[jaybee]

ps ...... Riff Raff nice new wheels , how do you find the over the tank compared to your old cruiser ? take a bit of getting used too /??

[jrandom]

I won't be there tomorrow due to the in-laws competing in the 4x4 enduros at Helensville tomorrow, a rash promise I made, and consequent unavoidable stuff I must do. Woe is me.

Bah, bah and double-bah.

BAH.

Oh well.

[Riff Raff]

ps ...... Riff Raff nice new wheels , how do you find the over the tank compared to your old cruiser ? take a bit of getting used too /??
Surprisingly no - I'm finding it very comfortable to ride and soooooo much fun. I LOVE MY BIKE :love2:

[Kwaka-Kid]

eh boys! :) Just kicks and giggles man!

aint nuffin serious! :D

[Sparky]

Well guys a great day racing was had by all, got some pic's of 2smoker and motoracer, sorry I missed some others but I didn't know your racing numbers.
Also found an interesting use for a L-PLATE!!!! :yeah:

[Joni]

I was on a mission, have never filled a 1gb memory card before, thought today was as good as any

[Riff Raff]

Well another fabulous days racing... I had a shaky start to the day when I threw my toys out the cot, but fortunately that matter was sorted amicably so that I could enjoy the rest of the day. Was stationed at the hairpin for the first races, then at the start /finish for the second lot. Good effort by TS and MR - TS did a great overtake on the hairpin, :2thumbsup: but unfortunately I was a bit slow with the camera. I caught up with a few KBers - nice to meet some I hadn't met before.
Fortunately I was in the right place at the right time all day, and managed to avoid having to scrape up fallen riders - thanks for doing the work today Speedmedic!!! We did rush round the track during the final superbike race when there was a big offski - we struggled to get up a decent speed with all the fast bikes coming round still - Jared Love pulled up beside us on the back straight and did a mean wheelie next to my window, the bastard!!! And of course I couldn't get a piccie of that cos I was all gloved up and ready for action....
At the end of the racing I rushed to get my ambulance back to station and managed to get back to Pukekohe in time for the prizegiving and a much needed drink. I had a terrific weekend, and I have to confess that there is a little part of me that wants to get my own racebike and have a go - I think it's probably not as easy as they make it look!
Have taken heaps of piccies today but can't be bothered sorting through them tonight.

[erik]

Was a good day, but I was only there for the first half.
I didn't take any pics, just a few videos. Here are 5 of them (zipped. they're encoded with XviD and mp3 audio):

[Riff Raff]

KB'ers in action.....
Um yeah thanks for that shot with me in it Mat!! Looks a bit like this :shake: really!
Here's a couple of piccies...

[Maximus]

Man what an awesome weekend, was supposed to go to Welly's but went and had a look on Sunday, AWESOME!

I looked out for any KBer's, thought I mite introduce myself, couldn't see anyone?? How do you guy's "distinguish" yourselfs from others? . . . .

[Rodders]

:niceone: Great day at Puke watching how its meant to be done. Wandered around getting a few pics. The closest racing in the Superbikes for a few years - 26 in the class Awesome to watch . So fast at the end of the backstraight and they brake soo hard. Good to catch up Chris and RR (even while you were hard at work ???) :doctor:
Well done MR and TS

[Riff Raff]

I looked out for any KBer's, thought I mite introduce myself, couldn't see anyone?? How do you guy's "distinguish" yourselfs from others? . . . .
Um the 'sexy' green and yellow overalls easily distinguish me from the crowd.

Good to catch up RR (even while you were hard at work ???)
I don't go there to work!!! Bikers know they aren't allowed to come off anywhere near me. Shame Speedmedic hasn't put the same fear into them!!!!

[ktulu]

There was some bloody awesome racing, just went down for a couple of hours on sunday (had to get home to watch the formula 1)

Two smoker was doing a couple of 1:09 laps by my timing so that was pretty huge and he had a good battle with one guy in F3 but most of the bikes were 650s or 450s so he did well to even come close.

Some great racing in the superbikes aswell, sorry I didn't catch up with any other KB members, (except 6chris6, good to meet you) but it was a bit of a fleeting visit with the girlfriend.

Good work guys, look forward to being there agian in the future

[Maximus]

Um the 'sexy' green and yellow overalls easily distinguish me from the crowd.


Yea, I did "spot" ya, boy are those overalls sexxay! :yeah:

I was also there with the handbrake, she wasn't in the best of moods either. . . . :angry2: Needless to say, we didn't stay long! :brick:

[dveus]

Um yeah thanks for that shot with me in it Mat!! Looks a bit like this :shake: really!

We'll if your silly enough to take photos infront of me.........

[Riff Raff]

We'll if your silly enough to take photos infront of me.........
Ah revenge is it? for me being able to get right up by the track on the hairpin with all those horny bikes whizzing past while you were stuck behind the barrier!!!

[Two Smoker]

Thanks for taking the photos guys :niceone: keep them coming.... gotta admit it looks pretty cool with my exhaust millimetres off the ground...

Will write up a summary of my racing soon...

[Posh Tourer :P]

Looking good guys. Gutted I wasnt there........ I'll send some photos of Brands Hatch or something for you to drool over tho.....
