TRACKDAY!! 19 JUNE

[Sparky Bills]

Was a good day,
I found myself sliding a bit too much so slowed down and just played round doing wheelies and basically being a tosser. Just having fun.
Still had fun.
Tried a drag down the back straight with LooseB, but he pulled away like I wasnt moving!!
Whats up with dat!!?
Oh Well, Him, Jimbo and Hayden were flying!!

[Sparky Bills]

Oh and i got 205km's on the back wheel!
and 248km was my top speed.
Not too bad for an old Yamy, aye?

Where's the wheelie vids?

Note to self.

Never ever, EVER take the old Guzzi to one of these days...

Where's the wheelie vids?

I didn't hang around long enough to see the sheenanagins.

And I'll rename that file tonight, damb the Suzuki GSXR1K for being so common

Like arseholes mate, everybody's got one.

I chose to customise mine a little with some shonky paint work on the side of the fairing. Just rub the fairings on the road a little and the paint falls right off.

Mine's also normally the one out in front, pissing off into the distance while Honda/Yamahahaha/Kumandsukme riders wobble in its wake.

A Kiwi Biker guy called Shawn was there wanting to get some pictures but the people running the show weren't letting anyone into the infield.

After watching one of the drifter events I can sort of understand why with cars "drifting" off the track at an incredible rate.

Slingshot Good vids bro, but rename "Hayden" to Loosebruce. Looks like everyone was having fun and shaking their thang.

See you boys (and Flame) at the next one.

Incidently, anyone know how fast Flame was? She was the GIRL on the 600 kicking half the fields arse......*snigger*

Contrary to what I told her in the pits at lunch time ( I fooked up ), Flame was doing 1.30s pretty consistently in her last session.

On the way sunshine Just waiting for the upload to finish ...

Got some of both GSXR's on the back wheel, the R1 on the front straight .... and some random biker who is unnamed so far ....

[Slingshot]

OK...Here are a couple more vids:



Turns out that I didn't get any of Hayden, so I won't rename that other clip and him and LB can share it.

Hey Jimbo, ummmmmm ever heard of a gearbox?

Deano, way to overtake the bird on the little six hundy.

Edit: Actually Deano, on reflection, I've inexplicably followed Flame for quite a few laps too.......

Three groups ran: Difters (who should have had their meeting yesterday), Non Drifter boy racers. And Bikes.
Quite a bit of crap on the track caused by the drifters going agricultural.

Why do they do that? Surely it would make more sense to have the drifters going last, because it sounds like they almost always leave crap on the track. Makes no sense for bikes to follow that.

Definitely a worthwhile trip that was. For interests sake, I was the very upright green bike being lapped in the background on the odd vid. Nice to finally get the confidence to get rid of the chicken strips on the new tyres, but no leathers yet so no danger of getting a knee down!

Thanks to Bruce for slowing down to give me a better view of his wheelie down the front straight. Even my best efforts saw only 215ish on the front straight, and I can assure you there was no front tyre economising at all through my efforts.

Now bring on the Kiwirider day in July so I can do more damage to my ego!!

I think they were putting the drifters out just after us so that there was a "sensible" car session or two before we came back on again. But didn't stop the shite on the track as LB & GH said.

Got a gp style quickshifter mate. Keep the throttle pinned and when it bangs off the limiter snick up a gear.

It's supposed to scream like that.
