Arse, Arse, F*** and bollocks!! Enrolled for group 3 on the 18th. Bike due its WOF back end of last week. Took it to Cycletreads and found a steering stop missing off the lower triple clamp (I knew it had had a spill at some point in its life but this have never been picked up on). Fail :-(. Rang around all the NZ places and nothing so had to order one from Oz. Fingers crossed it arrives intime otherwise there is gonna be a group 3 space going begging!!

FFS take the bike to a second place for WOF and hope they miss it...

And NEVER take your bike to cycle treads with a looming deadline - they are WAAAY too careful and fail you on minor tiny stuff. Like shaky miorrors. Nice if you want a thorough inspection done, but not so nice if you cannot ride to the ART day.

Im more excited than a school boy in a hooters bar. KG has created a special group 1/2 (thats 50% of group 1) for me so I can go out at my super slow pace.
I just realised the last time I was goin round Pukie was the 2007 TT. I "think" I remember what direction the track goes.
Ill be out there on bike number 20.

so um how does it go--start finish straight -turn left then around the sweeper then onto castrol then--Ohh wait that was the REALLY old track -would be good for the tard riders though

Really looking forward to this one... Just hope the weather holds , this will be my third ART this season, and so far, I've missed the sunny ones !!

At least the Mrs is highly unlikely to drop another sprog to stop me coming to this one

Now I just need to find some time to give my bike some loving before the day, a good clean, a chain clean / re wax etc etc.

Thanks I 'd really appreciate it - are you going to the ART day?

Not this one - send me a PM if you want to grab it.

So long as it comes back

As a matter of interest, the HMCC just contacted me to say my application has been declined because I ride a Honda CBR - and sports bikes aren't allowed to come to the training. He said (Steve Parker) I was about the 7th person that had been declined on these grounds.

LOL they accepted me

what time does this day wind down? I am coming to help but have plans afterwards

We can run to 5pm. If you need to leave earlier thats cool also and we will be very gratefull for any help you can give us.

Of course it would. UPDATE: I have managed to source a back protector from a mate at work, so I am "sweet as" now (picking up Kiwi lingo)- but thanks for the offer anyway.

Looking forward to a great weekend.

All groups are now full and reserve lists are running. If you still are hoping to get in contact Colleen in the first instance and you will get an 'up to the minute' state of play re any cancelations.
If you still want to come we can find you something to do, Angela is always looking fo new blood to learn the art of marshalling.

See you all on Sunday.
