    Also if I see a noob I offer (give/force upon) them tape and suggest they tape stuff up, if they argue I explain why and most see the logic, I think 1 guy ever has ought right said no, but he was a muppet and not in my class anyway.

    Also if you go to a proper track day run by MCI or some other organisation expect to do the whole paperwork, scruitineering/tech inspection thing, but again, new zealand, she'll be righ'

    If you're racing you have to wire the oil bung, tape things etc and those organisations from above will have a fact sheet.

    Keep an eye out cause I'm going to try do a few organised track days this year with the university (not motosoc for those of you who have been before)

    AAAAAAnd I need to get out before the 10th of feb, but have a lot to spend money on/repair since november.
    Do you have pink tape?

    Mint day out on track. Got the ten introduced nicely to ruapuna bringing it back in one piece. Started out doing 2.06 and got it down to 1.57 steady. Happy as. Next time I might even tape my mirrors up and go fast

    Another couple of sessions and you'll be able to beat the Buckets

    Fastest Buckets are about 1.54, I've done an outside pass on my Bucket at the dipper on a GSXR1000, he toasted me down the straight, next lap I passed him around the outside onto the straight, I couldn't manage it 3 laps in a row

    What can I say? Some were given talent.. Others if us have to put up with striking good looks

    Took my daughters road going fxr out for a session one friday arvo, just for the hell of it, spent the whole half hr harrassing a guy on a 600 GSXR track day bike ( not a regular race guy though) . Drove him nuts, nearly the best fun i've had on the track
