    Just to be clear in case anybody missed it. Do I feel ANYBODY should do one of these days. HECK YEA.
    For racers its good for shits n giggles and lots of track room.
    For everybody else the very nature of Pukie as a track is a lot closer to the road than any other track I've ridden on.
    A mid corner bump or some mud on the surface happens there and you are able to deal with it in an enviroment so much safer than the "real" world and with helpers able to show you how you could deal with it all better.

    Geez Tony - you almost make me want to get back on a bike around Puke!!
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

    After a bit of feedback Hope ya don't mind if I make myself clear here. As a RACETRACK in my opinion pukie leaves a bit to be desired. But for rider training its fantastic.
    The very thing racers (quite rightly) dislike is the stuff a road rider is likely to encounter on a daily basis.

    The layout of Pukekohe is one of the best in the country , and for me it is a close second (next to levels of Timaru) as the most challenging and interesting and fun places to race on. Obviously the only concession is that it requires a large amount of resurfacing and a D8 bulldozer is needed to create the run off space required when coming into and over the hill.
