[QUOTE=Zed]Hehe, so Bruce did exactly what he said he would do!! Glad to hear you guys had a *successful* trip down to Taupo Motobob, did you take your 600 on the track too?

Yeah gave the honda a spin there and managed to make a prick of myself by getting red flagged from the Novice group. Just to show them I really am a novice I binned the bike when they let me out again

I thought Bruce was quick in the rain on Saturday but he was on another level on Tuesday. Had a good time though, expensive but fun.

**bugjuice** · 28th July 2005, 15:15

yay, could be in after all.. and with the tank cam.. I've got laps of Taupo, just need Puke, then Manfield and the rest..

Oh no, you binned that beautiful Honda, sorry to hear it! Much damage?

Damage is all superfical, all panels scraped cause the bloody thing managed to flip. Could have been worse. Funny how it managed a lot of "track time" before it slid into the dirt. I got the impression it wanted a complete set of new clothes and a change of colour. You will like the bits of rope I used to hold the fairing on. Still able to ride it after but at a slower pace once the chickens took over.

Oh and I'm OK

Zed thanks for the concern about my damage.

Of course my main concern was any damage done to you bob! You have a good spirit about the whole thing despite your newish wheels taking a tumble.
So in hindsight was there anything you could have done to prevent the bin you reckon? Apart from not riding of course...

The track was starting to dry out nicely but it started to drizzle and I badly misjudged how quickly the track got slippery. The lose was so fast I didn't realise there was a problem until we had parted. They reckon I gave it a handful because of the tyre mark left but I was not giving it to much and generally running around 6 to 7000 through turn 1. However when I last rode Taupo in 87 I binned it in the same spot. Still better to have a "smooth" crash than a nasty one.

Alrighty! Bit of interest going on here, mint stuff.

8 people expressed they'll be there, unfortunately, no Jimbo, Deano or any other Welly clown other than myself for that matter.

What's the hold up boys?

**dss3** · 28th July 2005, 22:03

Will be riding up to whangarei to see the girl tommorrow so might drop in on the way....

**Two Smoker** · 31st July 2005, 19:58

Hey everyone,

Ive got a moddified shock in the ZXR now so i have to test it at the track... Hopefully i will do a couple of sessions, but not keen on frying my rear tyre...

So 10am at Pukekohe Raceway, $90 entry fee. Track closes up at 4pm...

Im not confirmed, but it is looking very likely...

Whos keen???
