    The 6am VUW satellite for this morning makes it look like there is less cloud over the North Island. Keeping fingers crossed.

    So the questions on everybody's lips - how did dpex go with his new riders? Did he make it? Did the delinquents make it? Is his bike still in one piece?

    bike is fine, and riders had fun, so all was good. Big ups to david for giving the guys a chance to do something like that. I have not seen anyone else in a long time do something from the heart and not for proffit. well done dpex.

    He created a new thread somewhere... saw it a little while ago.

    My report: It was wet.

    You weren't standing in it every session...

    I ended up being in charge at the hairpin training a couple of newbies (ie... their first day ). Way to start for them, I think I rank that as equal worst weather in several seasons.

    Only had one chap try out our services, with a relatively minor highside, which he trundled back to the pits...

    Anyone taking pictures out there yesterday?
    I would love a pic of me on my Multistrada - probably the first & last time on track with it!
    It had a comedy No.7 on the front...

    Well what a day that was!
    The forecasted big wet arrived with a vengeance at 2:30 ending proceedings for the day. Standing water and a small river running across the circuit made it too dangerous to continue. Discounts and a BBQ for the next one guy/gals.

    The standard of riding considering the conditions was excellent some gaining an understanding of what a sliding bike feels like and the importances of smooth lines and throttle control.

    We had a massive contingent of track novices which was fantastic to see and we hope you gained a lot out of the day. It’s rewarding to watch individuals improve there skills, taking note of what is being advised and putting it into practise out on the circuit.

    Thanks to Gremlin and his team for looking after us out there and testing the efficiency of their waterproofs.

    We are always looking to improve the way the day is run so if you have any suggestions/ideas please contact the club or one of us with them and they will be discussed and considered.

    See you all in November.
