Hey Cruiser group riders there is a Prorider Cruiser Day at Pukekohe on Fri 18 March

Count me in Mr Toaster.

Big thanks to my insurance company for covering me for the day (increase in excess is a small price to pay I reckon)

Good stuff! Yep did that to me too for the trackdays and training days I have done. The main thing is peace of mind that if the unlikely did happen that you don't end up with a hefty repair bill. I have done this day before on a Hayabusa and found it extremely valuable.

Where will you be coming from? If I get to go on the day myself you can stay here in the guest room and I will ride down with you... although I do live well North of Pukekohe... over an hour North... a good warm up ride and stop for breakfast at the Autobahn on the way. Nothing confirmed at this stage for me though....

Thanks for the generous offer!

It's a shame (for me at least) that it isn't at Manfeild, since now it looks like I will be in Palmerston North that day.

The reason it is on rain or shine is because "every-day riding" is in any weather. I would encourage anyone thinking of going to go in the wet (if it is wet on the day) as a good chance to hone skills in more challenging conditions. The upshot is better confidence in the same conditions on road.

I'll be there even if it is snowing! My main concern about the weather however is that I am there to improve my dry handling skills and a fear this may not happen to the same degree if it is pissing. I understand though. Karel has a business to run and the wet is a challenge all of its own.

Well, it will certainly be raining, if the forecast is anything to go by!
