How often do you get that close to the action!

No shame in being lapped by Shirriffs eh! He made everyone else look as slow as a wet week.

He's a freak!!

Another great day. Thanks to Kiwifruit and Big Steve for letting me have a go. The Brutale sure handles well on track! Thanks to all the team at MotoTT.

Great to see a whole lot of MVs on the track...and not one of them broke or leaked!

I'd have to say getting passed by a gaggle of MV's down the back straight sounded freaking awesome

Much thanks to Sue for allowing us in at the end and to the rest of the field for tolerating us barging in on your track day!

For most of us it was the first time out on the track and i must say there was a couple of "slightly" nervous riders amoung us, me included... but once that first lap was done I was all "This is Freaken O for Orsome!!"

Will be back for more!!

awesome day, despite the flu that I got just in time for the double track day, on Friday. Not even the sauna helped: I was sweating like a rapist under the gear, but nothing adrenaline could not fix...

Added challenge in the shape of much narrower line (in places maybe half a meter), due the the oil spills. But luckily, extraordinary scrubbing by motoTT crew helped, and by midday it was all but gone, and track was back to its usual glory.

Absolutely awesome! The grippy patch through the turn 9 removed the psycho barrier in my head, and seconds were shaved off during the double-trackday weekend.

In for the 5th Dec! Still some work left to reach Sloan's 1.30 lap record...
