    Oooh Err.

    Very tempting. Any ideas if Kiwibike Insurance will cover it? I may ring and check tomorrow.

    Some insurers have in the past when I have discussed the nature of the day with them. I need to give Dave a call and find out for myself as I am hoping to take my Tuono for a fang. If Dave has any questions tell him to get in touch with Clive at the Vic Club.

    sounds great. How does the ambulance ensures that noone will fall over ? Clearly the ambulance officers at sin city have been holding out on us with that essential information.

    DO TELL !

    Last I heard we leave Fri AM, traditionally go via paraparas and points west.

    Home via east cape Sun/Mon.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Good question young person. It works on the same principal as buying spare rims with wets. Thereby ensuring that it doesn't rain at the next race meeting. I believe it's the ying to yang of Murphies Law.

    Hell yeah. As long as you don't pass me. I have had the honor of being passed by a Harley (while on my Tuono) through the Manfeild infield. He still thinks it was funny.

    Trouble is, I loves my bike and don't want to risk damaging it. Catch 22 eh.

    Looking forward to it.
    Am gonna do my very best to be there on my speed triple MR , so if yr into it, come search me out and we'll go have a chit chat to the clivoris (or whomever is in charge of group therapy on the day) and see if we can't get put in the same group for a couple of sessions, will show ya a couple of lines and brake points without putting our machines at risk if ya like !
    I aint hard to spot ! Short, fat, more hair than clive and lots more style !

    Look forward to hearing the result of the call (can i bring a harley too hehe)
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    I called today. It sounds like it will be covered, but you'll need to send them through an e-mail with the Track, Date, and who is organising so they can confirm back to you.

    That would be awesome. I should be easy to spot too - short skinny and on what looks like a much smaller speed triple.

    Also, I've emailed Kiwibike insurance and they do provide cover just let them know who it's run by and the date.

    Hi Robbie. PM sent. Have a think about asking your questions here as there may be others who are wondering the same things. Glad to see that you're keen, but be careful. There are people here who will have you bucket racing that FXR before you know it. It's the start of a life of addiction to lean angles and motorcycle fettling.
