OK so first shakedown for the 2026 season.
Yamaha V4 testing started, is the biggest story to date.
Toprak also now on the new Yamaha V4. I see he has front end feeling "they said he would have to get used to" if he risks a Toprak stoppie in the pits :)
No MM til next year
Test FP1...
For me this is an odd one, I found the original models to be very, very boring. Surely Honda could have picked something from their history more exciting to retrofy?

Mainly on sealed roads with 3 days of soft adventure riding, Molesworth, Nevis and Hakataramea. There are 3 of us on a 1250 GS, V-strom 800 and me on the R1. I was going to buy or borrow an adv for the trip, but decided to bring the R1 instead as it enjoys the SI and I can do some good rides on...
Check with Debbie that she received the email sent her on the 20th of August,There is a new procedure for street events in place and it is no longer in my domain
Permit issued yesterday, we all go now. I think emails have been sent to past competitors.
I'll try and post an entry form up here later, I need to print some off for Debbie, but if you want one emailed
either PM me an email address or send an Email to greymouthstreetrace@gmail.com
This is a great event, give it a whirl if you can manage it.
I've done it a couple of times - Not sure if I can make it this year, but I've been doing some overtime so ya never know
Your always welcome Warfy, entry's are flowing in nicely, a bit of interest from the North island motard boys as there is a supermotard round at ruapuna the weekend before greymouth, two weekends of racing in the one trip down south with a public holiday to drive home makes it a bit more appealing I guess.
Not sure I want to get mixed up in the f3 class and be a moving shicane lol.
Why not, I will be raced in F3 in Nelson on my Pre82 GSX400 twin, and managed to keep out of the way of the fast buggers.....i'd be less game to go Pre89 to be honest.

OK Steve - a question. I'm told there's nothing in the supp regs relating to the recent rule changes - 22.6 and 22.8.
Rumour has it that street meetings are the same as nationals in that 22.8 applies - this would mean "shark fin" extra lock wiring etc as well as a tail light if you wish to race in the rain. It would be as well to clear this up early if only to aid the classic guys....
