Bike only Open Day at Puke

[SpankMe]

Friday 16^th January 2003
According to the Controlled Testing Dates timetable for Pukekohe racetrack, they are going to do a bikes only Open Day. They have done cage only open days before, but this is the first bikes only open day I've seen. If you find Track Time too crowded, controlled and expensive, this is a good opportunity to get your bike out on the track.

Also the people who run the Open Days at Puke are not too concerned about what riding gear you wear. Although I would not recommend riding without full leathers, you can get on the track if you don't have any.

i'd go further and say that riding in anything less than leathers is asking for trouble, especially on a circuit as fast as pukekohe.. if you do bin it, you'll probably be going a decent speed.

Bikes only day is too good to miss! I'll definitely be there

sweet, will b there

Why is it on a friday...?

[Hoon]

Because during the Summer months almost every Satruday is booked out for a race meet.

Someone oughta check that is still on because they might decide its not worth running without the numbers. We should tell them a decent bunch will decide to pitch up and not too change their mind at the last minute

Was at Pukekohe today to confirm that the bike only open day was still on. They said that they are gonna do cars as well since last time they did a bike only day only two bikes turned up, but they are still advertising it as a bike only day.

I told them Kiwi Biker is organizing to get more bikes there on the day, so let’s try and get lots of bikers there on the 16^th. Then maybe we can expect more biker only days at Puke.

Hey Spankme.. im guessing that was your bike in mission bay yesterday? i was parked up next to you and when i went to leave i found a nice KB business card on my bike bloody good idea that is.... get more people to the site

i saw spankmes bike going up queen st yesterday! and only 1 problem, BIG DAY OUT is on 16th january right? i gotta ticket and all... :S

KK going to the BIG GAY OUT, what have i missed at that last KB bbq?

[SpankMe]

While I was there I was told that the Puke track is for sale for $2million. Well if I win power ball tonight, I'll buy it for Kiwi Biker.

Butt apparently the horsey people are going to buy it because track events make more money than horsey events and they want the extra dosh it makes to support their part of Puke. According to the people who run the Puke track, this will be a good thing for the track.

At the recent open day, I was told the bike open day was off. There is racing in Mansfield, so we dont need the setup day.
Best check o see at a later stage, but we can still ride

False advertising! We should demaned half price entree if they do that to us!
But I guess we're in no position to rock the boat and create bad feeling.

That does it , cars and bikes on a "bikes only" track day. Its on at the same time as When Metalica will be playing. How many people are going to this "bike only" track day on the 16th anyway? Shall we go the next day on the 17th? There is a normal practice day on that day for the usual $80. What do you say guys? Who is with me?
