    There are 2 differnt type of road closures too, Cant remember what the diff is but it in the MNZ rules of local council regulations

    Did you get to the track last weekend?
    Sure did! Got burnt to shit but had so much fun... going to try find some leather pants that zip to my jacket before the nest one so I can have a wobble on the track by myself.

    Did you and Henk establish what size you are?

    It was great to meet you and when I was in lap scoring I did spot you heading out to flag quite a few times (thanks for that).

    As for the burnt bit, went to speedway to spectate the week before, left sunscreen at home, got burnt, peeled, buckets Saturday same scenario, same result. Can't believe we both forgot that stuff.

    Na we established we're "About the same size" and that's the closest we got

    I thougth the view from the first straight was good, then I went to the flag post atthe infield (number 3 I think) and THAT was cool!

    Really? Should really put the front wheel down then

    Nah I found the Speedo was about 10-20% out (depending on where you are on it). When I was doing 180, the 955i was doing 175. Had it radar'd once at 174 (long walk home).
    The guy that worked the engine reckoned it was good for 200, but I reckon 180-190 is more realistic. Was a bummer they stopped the route pkj sprints - would have been keen to know.

    I miss that bike........but not the lack of torque below 10,500.
