My mum rides a Suzuki mate, I doubt you'd even catch see which way she went on your little girls tricycle.

[PSYCHO]

Hmm, I'd love to be there, but not this time.

[**R1**]

Fingers crossed, I'll be there.Hire a temp for the day.....you gota come out bro, i recon you could kick WT with one hand tied behind ya back.....I think Captain Ahab(BB) and Moby dick(blue black bird) will be there....

[TonyB]

Well I wont be :brick: No time owing :brick: I really can't see Aaron and WT managing to be on the same track at the same time without some sort of pissing contest taking place, so I want updates on how it's going. Aaron or Dangerous, can you text me with whats happening? Please? Go OOoooon, for us poor bastards that have to work!

[White trash]

I really can't see Aaron and WT managing to be on the same track at the same time without some sort of pissing contest taking place,

Ummmmm, you're just working this out now? Who's a clever boy then....

I'll have me digi camera handy so everyone can see Aaron/Myself (delete as required) crying into his beer later on.

[k14]

Yeah, ill be out there, but due to money shortages i won't be running the rs.

[Kickaha]

Dangerous will be there 'cause he's cooking fucken breakfast tomorrow morning for us.

[sAsLEX]

[Mitch]

I would love to as I haven't had my ass kicked since Wanganui.

[カワサキキド]

What time will you be at Ruapuna intill?

[gav]

Probably until they've both crashed, I'm picking about 30 minutes after they start, got yer wets ready, boys?????

[Silage]

Well I was thinking of heading over to Ruapuna after lunch. Will there be any bits of you guys left by then?

I assume it is not going to cost me to get in the gate (no way the GS or GB is getting on the track).

Cya

[カワサキキド]

I've got uni intill 1 and I'm going out later, but I'll try and shoot down there in the afternoon

Na Jimmie, it dosent even cost at the gate on a club day........ not sure what the Welly crew are planing but the rest of us will be out there after 12.

[PSYCHO]

I won't be there, but have sent out a scout. He may even join in the fun if it's not wet.

[**R1**]

The Sun is shinning, my R1 is sparkling in the sunlight, its just been serviced, and im feelig FAST....WT is going down:shake:

[onearmedbandit]

Its a beautiful day, but my bike is locked up at home currently. I'll see what I can do, I don't want to miss this. I think I feel a fever coming on...

[Riff Raff]

WT is going down:shake:
Oooh er! It's those violaters again, aye?

[k14]

Well I just got back from a very interesting day.

I'll let aaron tell you the deal on the days preceedings.

Dangerous has some pics somewhere too.

[Motoracer]

Oooooooh I can hardly wait!

[k14]

Oh i guess i can say that suzuki won the day (only cause there wasn't a CBR1000RR out there) and i will leave it at that. I'll also say that someone who rode to the track didn't end up riding home.

Ouch bro! Hope you weren't hurt. This sorta shit happenes if you push hard enough. Goodluck with puting it all back together.

Congrats WT, now that you have defeated Church, you can move onto the next round, Welly Vs. Auckland!! :Punk:

[gav]

Thats the stuff Aaron :2thumbsup On ya for havin' a go!!
By the time I got there (close to 4 ) the Welly crew had gone, not use to the sun I s'pose, heard the tale of woe, hope you get it up and running soon. Congrats WT sounds you were doing some OK times for first time to the track (around 1m 42's) 4 sec quicker than Aaron!

[TonyB]

Got cleaned up by Trashman(those fukn suzuki's:angry2: )That fucka can ride...

then .................................................. .................................................. ..............................................
FUCKIN DROPED IT....
Glad to see you're OK Aaron. So you really got your ass kicked eh? Fark, the trashman must be pretty quick then. Com'on mate, more details! Low side? Whereabouts? Dipper, hairpin?
I reckon if WT heads up north and kicks butt we should pass the hat around and send him racing.

He's gonna be crowing about this one.....greeeeaaat.

[TonyB]

4 sec quicker than Aaron!
Shit, 4 secs a lap! Imagine how far that is on the front straight!

[onearmedbandit]

I'm going over to aarons later, hear his tale of woe!! (BTW bro, your crash got me out of going to a party tonight that I didn't want to go to. Come home, tell the g/f 'oh shit me mate crashed his bike, I've gotta go around to his place!').

As to the the 'race', I'm in two minds (which is two more than normal). My mate Aaron lost the day, not good, but SUZUKI won the day!!

[BNZ]

Hahaha, you guys forget pretty fast that WT went for a skate last week! Must be that fresh oil and shiny smooth new fairing? :yeah:

You guys missed a ripper of a day in wellies as well :cold:

[**R1**]

Heres the details

It was the end of the straight, just tipping in2 turn 1

lowside (peg hit the track and leavered the back up)

at first i thought the bike would be sweet.....but no it had to flip didnt it.....

thats bikes for ya......could always be worse:niceone:

[TonyB]

Shit Aaron, thats a fairly fast corner- the damage can't be pretty
Actually, this gives me a cunning idea. OK, so it may not be cunning, but it is an idea: A couple of years back I was on a group ride to Hanmer, the pace was illegal, we were all doing it, and one poor bloke got pinged. At the time I thought it would be reasonable if we all dipped into our pockets and gave the poor bugger a tenner or something, but as it was my first ride with the group I didn't speak up.
Maaaaaybee, we could form a KB crash fund? Ahh, who am I kidding? It would never work.

[PSYCHO]

I'm sorry to hear you went down Aaron.

IM keen for that... i think my bike is the worst, so can i have first dibbs???

Bad luck Aaron :( Glad your ok mate :niceone: Anyone that is only 4 seconds off WT is quick in my books...

Hey WT, bring me a spare tank and front brake rotor and ill race ya at Taupo on my 600 :2guns: (probably still get my arse whooped) otherwise its only going to be me representing the Auckland Crew and my bike has half the capacity of his :(

[gav]

I wouldn't be signing him up for MotoGP just yet! Its a good F3 time, the F3 lap record is 1.38.01, the 125 record was 1.38.86 before the NZGP in Dec and the Superbike record is 1.32.08 !! Stroudy on the Britten from 1995!!!
But it is prettyt good for someone who hadnt seen the track before on a track day, I'm sure he'd be faster under race conditions!

[dangerous]

Both of the lads put on a good show.... so I'm told bit hard to see for my self when I'm blowing into my visor in order to gain more speed at an atempt to keep up, it was good having Deano there too as both VTR's are closley matched.

Heres a few pic's people, not the best tho as it was my camera but K14 was using it so he wasent used to the bloody thing.

1) Guess who
2) Deano
3) Trash

Congrats to all. Shame about the spill, but shit happens. Well done WT, and Im glad to see a gracious loser. :2thumbsup

im just planning its new look now.............Fortuna perhaps??

[Biff]

Big up's to the Northern Possie. It's not true what people say, you really are a nice bunch! It was a pleasure to meet y'all.

Aaron - Respect to you mate. You rode well and took the tumble and beating with dignity.
Dangerous - Thanks for not dropping the Biff Bird.
WT - Respect. Say no more. You're a class act. But next freakin time you pull those stunts please make sure the video camera is pointed at you!

Talking about videos - I've just transferred mine onto the PC and will begin editing tonight or tomorrow. If there's anyone else out there that has some video of the day that they could flick me, I could sure use it.

Well i ordered some TBR adjustable clipons today so the mighty R1 should be back on the road this week:banana: Minus fairing:brick:

And have organised a mate to do the paint (but i aint telling ya's what) so ya can make good things come outa miss haps.

Plus my border has the same model R1 so if i need to go pop some wheelies i can(or just steel parts:cool: )

[BNZ]

Good work to both Aaron and WT for repairing their bikes almost as fast as they ride them!

[Zed]

...Aaron - Respect to you mate. You rode well and took the tumble and beating with dignity.Mr Aaron, sorry to hear about your off man - at least it happened in style! :Punk:


Dangerous - Thanks for not dropping the Biff Bird...BB & Dangerous, what top speeds was the Biff Bird getting up to down the straight/s? Having never been there myself, are there any decent straights at Ruapana to wind it up on? :confused:

[k14]

The main straight is 1100m if i remember correctly, certainly not short but not the longest in nz. Think dangerous said he got it up to 240 odd. He said WT was pulling away on him quite easily down the straight.

[**R1**]

So the mighty R1 *only* manages 270kms or so...were you pushing it to the max? I thought they were capable of more top speed than that.

Zed.... ya right? Now as the bike wasent mine I wasent about to push it too hard, but saw 240-250 (realy prefured to watch were I was going) I entered the straight at a modest speed with WT on my arse, he came around the out side as he had a better head of steam up I sent it to the red in each gear (still pulling) but yes the GSX pulled away.... now were I get soft on it is in the braking dept I have to say when ya get used to the linked brakes they are magic.... but I still through the anchors out early so that is the best top end I got out of it, so for me the straight is too short
By memory I managed 260k out of the Busa but I know that bike better and also have had more than that out of it on the cantabury roads :apint:

Just incase any one was woundering the Storm kinda lacked the top end on the frount straight and the bloody thing loves locking up under braking (shiter than shit suspension) alas 220-230 was the top end there, but once again I have seen 260 on the road. :2thumbsup

Oi, Deano........ what did the SP1 haul it up to???

[dangerous]

Looks like an awesome track!

So the mighty R1 *only* manages 270kms or so...were you pushing it to the max? I thought they were capable of more top speed than that.
They most likley are capable of more, but as long as it is, it still needs to be longer... however in his case...... if both wheels were on the deck causing less wind friction he may have got a higher speed.

Ps: Z flexoplas corner is now renamed R1AaronKDX corner :confused:

[Biff]

BB & Dangerous, what top speeds was the Biff Bird getting up to down the straight/s?

Like Dangerous, I was concentrating on getting the braking right for the deceiving left hander at the end of the straight. On the one occassion I did look the clock read in the high 230's and was rising.

But I ride like an old woman so never really got the best out of the bike coming around the last corner before the straight. I reckon that 260 + is possible along the straight with someone more capable than I as the pilot.

[TonyB]

I doubt most quick road bikes are spending much time in top gear (if they even get there) on that straight. My old FZR has seen an indicated 240 lap after lap, but the chicken shit rider brakes miles too early! That kink in the track before R1AaronKDX corner really tests the nerves at those speeds. The brain is going "AHHHHH- don't want to brake on a corner!!" You can straight line it apparently, but I don't trust myself enough to do it.

[**R1**]

Looks like an awesome track!

So the mighty R1 *only* manages 270kms or so...were you pushing it to the max? I thought they were capable of more top speed than that.

I was pushing hard enough to crash:spudwhat: I only get the R1 in2 5th gear, so i guess if i changed the gearing it would go a lil quicker, i have had more out of it but not dwn the straight(not that i was looking at the speedo that often)

[dangerous]

I reckon that 260 + is possible along the straight with someone more capable than I as the pilot.
sorry BB i'll try harder next time..... and to think I'm the older nana here :cool:

And that the plastics are all there and weldable???

All very true Tony, The Storm was just getting into top for a few sec's but then its time to knock it down 2 gears for the kink hold for a sec or 2 then down to 2nd as fast as one can, shit that bastard comes at ya quick and to think the real lads still have the taps open at the kink.... fuk that.

The Bird I never got into top IIRC but was braking later as those linked brakes are sweet once ya get used to them.

[**R1**]

sorry BB i'll try harder next time..... and to think I'm the older nana here :cool:

I picked up a set of fairings yesterday, and by the time im finnished it will be minter than it was(and look the shit) still might hit up the insu guys depending on how much a new tank, and front bracket cost, but i checked my policy yesterday and i have a $1400 excess so it may just be cheaper to sort it my self.....wont be red anymore tho.......but it will look very prety.

[onearmedbandit]

wont be red anymore tho.......but it will look very prety.

So you are going to paint it blue and white and stick Suzuki stickers on it then?? Still wont be quick enough, but it'll look 10 times better!!

Sounds like a ripper day. Good on ya's for giving it hell :wari:

[madboy]

Only just caught up on this thread... big ups to both WT for upholding the honour of the north, and Aaron for taking the hit (both of them) with such good nature. I look forward to one day being good enough to play in your sandpits!!

And Dangerous - great pics!!

[Sensei]

1st sorry to hear of your Slide Aaron you still have my utmost respect Dude !!
WhiteTrash Well done . Ya gotta love those Silver 03's. Say what you like but they still do the Shit . Great Pic's & alot of fun was looked to be had by all . Will try to get to Taupo if money is not to tight .
SENSEI

[MSTRS]

Aaron - I have to say you must be a real gentleman, the way you graciously accept defeat (sorry about the off). Now it's time to change your bike details isn't it?

[Deano]

Oi, Deano........ what did the SP1 haul it up to???

I saw 237 kmh just before hitting the picks into the bend. Im sure I went through a bit quicker later on but wasn't keen enough to take my eyes off the track to check. The front end starting moving about on one lap when braking into the bend, which is a bit more 'feel' than I usually like. I was thinking to myself is the front going to go west, and at the same time the corner is looming quickly so I daren't let go of the brakes. Great fun.

I am glad we were quite evenly paced so I had someone to play with - also helped me sort out better racing lines.

Oh, and I really liked Ruapuna cause the fast pricks on multi thousands didn't lap me for a change.

Aaron - I have to say you must be a real gentleman, the way you graciously accept defeat (sorry about the off). Now it's time to change your bike details isn't it?

Done:done: :brick: :cry: :crybaby:

Well fuck me!

Where the hell you been hiding?

I've been quietly reading this thread and progressively choosing larger and larger sized helmets off the shelf.

Big ups to Aaron, a truly good sport, one hell of a tough competitor and not too shabby in the ol' wheelie department. He told me later he biffed the R1 so I wouldn't feel bad about having the only "rat" bike in attendance.

Top bloke :niceone:

I am currently guilty of totally sacraficing my social life for a straight A average at school :shake: ASS I say.
All work and no riding has left me in need so have just got back from a weekend away on a 748 with some great Jetsprinting in the middle :niceone:
I vow to get it all together and become social again in the near future!!
Miss you guys. :apint:
