Yes the boys and I enjoyed the day out. I was pleased with my performance considering my brakage from the Slipway 8 weeks ago. I thought I would try to give it up but not just yet. Pleased to see no real crashes and everyone fairly happy.
Was good to give Richard a hard time about his cut the track on the moving chikane (Bayden). He took it well. Good on ya Rich. Nice vid also.

That was a much better day with the Sunshine out.
Pity my best race was the first practice, crashing in both the points races. I did enjoy the restarted race 1, I was angry with myself for crashing and rode really quick (for me), catching and passing a few people, just not able to get Skunk (good riding)

I really enjoyed watching the A grade racing. Fast, close and real competitive, awesome!

Sorry about the confusion with the points race 2, I thought the order had changed. A good learning for next time.

Race one if anyone missed the updated post before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suI0RyRy_Is

Its a bit blurry need to adjust the focus. Must say really happy with how my bike is going these days the bigger airbox volume seems to have helped a little. Might even change the oil this week.

Yeah it was a great day , cheers to Koba and Trudes for blasts on their bikes. Gotta say that Rangi has got some go.

**Skunk** · 4th July 2010, 22:02

Not a bad today considering how I felt when I got there...

Cheers to Mudflaps for the bangers and beers and to Trudi for the cake, Nigel for the organising and Hels for the Clerk of the Course duties.
Lastly to everyone that set up the track and packed it up. I reckon at Slipway rounds we do 5 points for helping set up and pack up.

That was a great day out, glad no one really crashed too badly. I had loads of fun on the drz, however perhaps its time for a proper bucket.

Yeah, I'm getting real tempted to run over your leg when you stick it out...

Mate that Rangi has some serious balls. Couldn't believe it wanted to flip itself on me! I didn't expect it to come up much at all so I sat sort of upright and when I clicked into second it just roared skyward! So impressed, fastest bucket I have ridden so far (infront of Glens which was also a friggin rocket!). Thanks again Trudi!

Gonna have to come up next to me first before you can do that. ahaha.

On a serious note , i'm more than happy to ride it road race style.

No worries guys, I get a kick out of watching other people ride him (how he should be ridden instead of my Sunday Cruising) and the stupid grin most have on their face when they come back! Sorry about not warning you about the iffy brakes and the way he trys to wheelie Hamish, I've got so used to it that I forget his little "quirks". Hopefully the new forks will improve some of that.
