Well the weather turned out good at the track, it stayed generally dry and in good condition except for a couple of dusty patches and a wet spot

coming out of Castrol.
I skipped the last session, but had some good, consistent laps today.

Nice day, nice weather. Enjoyed it out there. Highlight of my day was managing to get through Jennian without lifting off.

I hope I didn't upset anyone or hold anyone down, Deano (I think it was you on the Repsol??) nice rubbing shoulders with you bud

Look forward to more trackdays with you guys.

Oye - stop complaining at least you weren't on a bike that can't do more than 150.

Rider of the Day would have to be Keystone19 - she only did one session but did it

**750Y** · 12th August 2005, 19:28

looked like you guys had some fun out there. my boy & i watched the second to last session from the stand at castrol which was cool, & awesome to see 2 of my old bikes going round there...

What a day!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to all those there that made it a huge success. Once the spannerman, imported from Welly, fixed the electrical gremlin on the TL, we were in fine spirits.

Vast range of riders and abilities, some great pit work and cool friends.

Highlight would have to be the final session, dicing and rubbing shoulders with me good mate Hayden at 240kph on the back straight. Funny how a K3 Thou' will out accelerate a TL1000S while only using one wheel. Bastard.

Bruce, Hayden and Grunta had to be the star performers, I got a really good view from the side of the track at turn one.

BIG thanks to Quaz for the lap on the 636.

Buggy: You're on drugs ya cunt. 275 was as fast as I saw on the clock and by Christ I was surprised.

Thanks to all and especially Riff Raff for the amazing (as usual) shots and lunch.

I eventually got to watch the riders at about 1.30 after taking Deano to pick up his new baby. It was great to see everyone having such a blast, and such good weather for it too! Good to catch up with all the KBers there.

I took heaps of piccies - I wouldn't say they're great, but give enough of an impression. Here's just a few.

**Quasievil** · 12th August 2005, 20:38

What a great day alright, thought it could be a crapper weather wise but no rain all day !!

Well Im loving the ZXR awesome bike, I didnt ride it that hard certainly not the blinding 275kph hard like WT rode it. But it handled it great and I was very impressed.
Rider of the day would have to be Two Smoke Boy oh Boy can he make that 400 fucken fly, fucken amazing chris

Torque and I headen south and ended up coming behind a dude in a Kia 4x4 who thought it was a chance to have a couple of bikers on, well like fuck I thought so took it to 140 kph and passed the prick, but the prick ended up poking his ugly Mug out the window giving us the fingers, it was V twin Raver

so that called for a mandatory stop at the Rangiriri tavern for a well earnt and lusted after Beer.

All in all a really enjoyable day.

Oh and interestingly after many of us fuelled up at the Challenge gas stop in Puke the attendant pointed out to me and Rob (torque) that we were the onloy ones who filled up with 96 octane, all you others filled up with 91 octane, whats with tha ya cheap bastards
