Lookin forward to it.......................... have done a few laps in the van................ couple of "interesting" corners.......... will be interesting to see how the straw bales alter the existing road lay-out. The motards will have a "BALL".

Hah - keep us honest, I reckon it may be the other way around as a big bike might be a disadvantage on that circuit having seen the map. We could be chasing the smaller nimble bikes, it looks like a hoot circuit for motards. wonder if I can squeeze the DR into the van as well. So is your bike back together?

Dunno about bein out front,
I will probably take it a bit easy for a start as i havent had it out since dropping it at levels lol.
It does seem a good circut though but im still on road tires, but i am picking a new rim [4 inch] up in christchurch that i hope fits on the rear but wont have any tires for it.
At least if it fits on i will be able to get some decent race tires.
Yer the dr will fit so go to it.

...looks like a lot of serious street racing in all classes,25 classics more than Ive seen at a street race in along time a few fast ones in the field should make the older bikes look pretty impressive, more pre 72s than Ive seen in a while too,about 20, and amazingly enough we have cracked about 20 pre 89s, huge field of 82s , the appropriate amounts of Motards,too many, ah fuck!..shot myself again....and a bunch of very competitive riders in the Formula Methven class....and about 30 of the keenest racers in the country, the BUCKETS.....yeeha!....
