    Frosty, we were more than happy to help out on Saturday night and am glad we had some room left in the truck for the bike and all your gear (You haven't told the community about your voyeurism incident ).Thanks for the accomodation on Saturday night. We got the last bike delivered at about 1.30am (Sorry to your neighbours Rodders). We got held up at the accident on H'way 2 so made it a long one.
    Wanted to say thanks to both Bugjuice and Loosebruce offering me there bikes when our clutch cable gave up and Quasie frantically trying to fix it so I could get out on the track, but managed to get a couple of rides in which was good.
    Was definitely a great day Tony and surely a good sign for the future of Kiwibiker track days

    Yeap Awesome day was had

    The first ride on the GSX400sp and I really had some reservations about the bike being old and all compared to the nice new 636, but I was stunned as to how awesome the old girl went
    Tight lines smooth ride all good, I thought it would be wobbly and bloody horrible.
    I started out on 58 sec laps and with confidence i Got down to consistent 52 sec. Some wise words from WT and tutoring from XJ and MR (thanks guys) I got faster.
    I went out in the last fast group session and got down to 50.2
    I was loving it. I will try and get some more grunt out of the bike and get sub 50 next time
    I hade my mate time you frosty at 58.6 so look out sone the gap is shrinking

    Really good day XJ, a damn good credit to you, ON YA
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    Thumbs up Nice of you to think so Frosty

    Try telling that to my shoulder! Bit of the old rigor mortis setting in today but I'll go get some physio to ensure it don't join the igloo brigade.

    Oh, and those noisy forks? Come on! I reckon the noise you heard was the cable rubbing up and down inside the cleat. Surely you know a bit of rubbing increases the effect on the cleat auras !!!

    Thanks heaps for all of your effort to ensure everything went smoothly. I'll sure put my hand up for being a marshal next time. And let me know if I can be of any help towards getting that van sorted eh? Tell me the motor model, I might be able to find one down the road.

    Cheers mate, truly one of the GOOD GUYS.

    Well, a really good day, and thanks to Tony for his drive and organisational skills - (mine definitely need improving). that provided the driving force to make this all happen.
    And a thanks from all the marshalls for us having a boring day. - minimal spills is good news and it was good to see everyone out there enjoying themselves (well, most of the time), going as hard as they wanted and not being dickheads! Good to see everyone generally loosen up and gain confidence as the day wore on.

    And after Saturday, thanks to whoever sacrificed (fill in appropriate number) virgins to the weather gods!

    A great day.

    I was at work this morning so was brief with the thank yous. I have a bit to add...

    It goes without saying thanks a million Frosty for making it a "fun" day. I big thanks to MR and the boys who took time out to let us follow you to get the right lines for the track.

    A big thanks to AJ for getting us started without any drama (I know you loved the power). A big thanks to Karen and Lynda for the most important thing - lunch and indemnity forms A huge thanks to the marshalls!

    A big thanks to my pit pony...next time you better bring an umbrella Zapf cos it got kinda hot in the beautiful sun that the biker gods gave us. Also to Stroker Girls other half for helping with the chain tension...

    And lastly a big thanks to DSS3 for taking us from Hamilton thru to Taupo on an awesome ride despite the rain and to Drunken Monkey and Swanman for letting me sleep on the couch due to lack of a bed.

    I just have to add (yeah I know I rave on) I LOVE my bike now

    Thank You!

    First and foremost, thank you Tony. You're organisation, professionalism and execution of this track day was second to none. I really appreciate the amount of effort that must have gone into this, as I'm sure does everyone.

    Thanks to the Marshals, for your keen eyes during the day. It must have been rather boring out there, but it was great knowing help was a radio call away! I thanked a few of you in person, but couldn't get to everyone

    Thanks to Motoracer for taking me around 3/4 of the track to learn the correct lines. You'd be suprised how much that helped me, especially on the sweeper and hairpin. Next time, you must show me the "esses" and entry into the corner at the end of the back straight. Also, I had heard heaps about you being a good racer and all, but I wasn't really all that aware/impressed until Sunday! You really know how to handle a bike. You knowledge of lines is obvious, since you must have got out of the sweeper with ALOT more speed than me, because you passed me at the end of the back straight when I was just about "full tits"

    Thanks to everyone who rode on the track, for riding so safely and making the day enjoyable for all

    Thanks to Subway, and Gixxer4eva. Even though I never did get the two orange juices I ordered and paid for, I took two bottles of water instead. Healthier and more hydrating! I also had subway for dinner that night, as well as breakfast the next morning (monday morning). Subway - Eat Fresh

    I have sent mail to Linda about that. I didn't get mine either. I note someone suggested a BBQ next time so we would interact more. I like that idea as well. Roll on the next track day I say. I will post S/W's reply when I get it. Good to meet you.

    Mate, it reallllly is no problem. Like I said, I ended up preferring water anyway. If I must moan about something, it would be that noone was all that bothered by the fact that I never got them. I asked like 4 times and didn't really get an answer to what was happening. Kinda felt like I was nagging, didn't mean to. But, don't complain on my part alone, nice sandwich and friendly service, what more can I ask for
