    Wellington it is a glorious day to get out there

    Thread Starter: F5 Dave

    Sorry in advance to those experiencing inclimactic weather. But Dogam! It is the perfect day to paint or trim trees or wash the car. Don't do any of those things. Don't even call a friend. Just get out there and ride while you can. You don't work all week to mow the lawn. I'm not...

    Northland ride

    Thread Starter: Laava

    Had a mint ride with the IMOC boys over the mangamukas, both ways, to Pukenui for a pie. There was a mint 1983 MHR which I had the pleasure of following for a while at a brisk pace.

    A fairly Compelling Leathers vs Synthetic Safety Gear Test

    Thread Starter: sugilite

    I like a lot of Ryans Videos, for the production values alone. The below comparison video was an eye opener for me. I don't have synthetic safety gear, and won't be ordering any after watching this. :shit:

    When:
    -Friday 26th February- free practice.
    -Saturday 27th February- practice/racing.

      AS Kick said, SOT has always beent the last weekend in Feb- very handy for moi because it falls on or near my birthday (instant guaranteed spousal approval).

      Results can be found on MyLaps, but not all results are there at the moment.

      Interesting reading I haven't been to the SoT or Ruapuna for over 20 years.
      The Norton Rotary mentioned wouldn't be the old ex police bike would it?
      I remember it blowing my old Bonnie away down the main straight.
      Pothole being the turn before the hairpin to my memeory that makes it the turn at the other end of the main straight, a corner formerly known as Rothmans. I know Ruapuna has changed as I've seen it whilst on short finals landing approach at Harewood airport.
      One particular memory I have of the SoT is being blown away by John Britten on his old cast iron Triumph 500, I thought how can any body ride that fast? A few laps later I saw him sitting on his laid down bike watching the rest of the race. So I was pleased to know that you can't ride that fast for a whole race. RIP John.
