Mid-week rides

[86GSXR]

Had a GREAT ride yesterday. I heard there was an afternoon at Taupo at a good price so I went up on the Daytona. Got to the track, there were only five bikes there, magic. Introduced myself to Shaun and quickly got into it. Wow, Taupo is quite a track alright! Quite a few of the corners (read most of them lol) took me by surprise the first time around and it was very soon apparant that my tire pressures were WAY too high. That is the rear spun up and I almost lost it about three times before saying fark that and coming in. It was great having Shaun there to offer some fantastic advice and after letting about 10 psi out of each tire I was back into it and loved it. Still a few slides but that was due to the surface repairs and a bit of dust. A few more pointers from Shaun made a huge difference and I can't wait to get back there. I have to say this was an amazing day due to the complete lack of crowding, expert advice, and 3 hours of tracktime totally to ourselves. Had an amazing night ride back home too

I likes the look of that shed - although it looks like it needs a few more bikes in there...

A shed full of bikes is a beautiful thing alright. Actually, that one is at PN Motorcycles, the Gixxers are in there for a few health checks atm. The old one started first time the other day, and the newer one took a bit of 'persuading', but she ran. It felt good to dust them off.
