Hey Steve,

I'll drop mine around to your place on the weekend, give them a clean and put some air in the tyres for me while I'm away.

Three more sleeps, this is more exciting than Christmas. I said after having a ball in the rain last year I wouldn't bother looking at a forecast this year, but did have a peek, I'm picking a damp start to the day and improving as the day goes on, pretty usual Greymouth Street Race weather conditions, bring it on Yee-Ha.....

What a great day, had a bit of everything weather wise, but it was mostly fine.
I only had one wet race, was pleased the hail stones didn't get any bigger when waiting on the dummy grid. A huge thanks to the set-up and take-down crews and all the flaggies, fire and ambulance people, the people manning the entry gates and track crossings and the marshalls, starters and crew in the caravan, stewards and the commentator as well.

Thanks to all the competitors and the spectators who braved the conditions just to get there.

I hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as I did.
It was a bloody good day, roll on next year.

Cheers

What an awesome day/ weekend. Just got back to Gore an hour ago. Thanks to all concerned for an awesome day of racing.
Like you said Muzza, roll on next year.
And the 2 dudes that were doing burnouts in front of the cop shop after the last race.

My vid from the same race. Not as exciting, but you get the idea. The W650 is a bit heavy for a race bike but a hoot to ride.

[Muzzab]

Lots of pic's here:
