    New rules are out now and in place. My bike sitting in the SI though so just need to know if I need to take a drill down and a shark fin etc. Only reason I asking is im sure someone said those only apply to championships

    Yes she is mending nicely. But some titanium would have sped things up. And her broken finger works too, as she often gestures it to me.

    3) Add to that the day to day business costs to run operate the track, (on average staff with vehicles are $100K ea PA)
    4) Add maintenance on track and buildings + specialty equipment etc
    5) Add to that a profit margin for the owner/investor, at between 7 - 11%
    6) Oh and the taxman will be wanting his share too

    It all adds up to a very big number, just to cover your arse, and assuming it is impractical to have a track hired out for more than 80% of available days, it makes it even tougher. Plus we wont mention what happens when some knob builds a house nearby and decides he/she doesnt want to hear the track vehicles in the far distance......

    Result, - A high risk investment "if" youve borrowed a lot to make it happen.

    Only way it works is if the likes of the super rich fund this sort of stuff out of cash in the bank, or governments / councils tip a bunch of support funding into it with no expectation of being paid back.
    You could also just build a motorsport park in central otago for shits and gigs.

    There were various types / sizes on bikes at the HAGD at Ruapuna on Sunday. We tried static and flashing modes to see what was most visable. It seemed that it would be preferable to go towards the larger end of the scale. While a small 25mm light may give of heaps of light at night........ in wet / spray conditions became much less noticeable. Where as the larger lamp was VERY bright in wet but sprayless conditions it was definitely better once the rain got heavier. The smaller lamp was more visable in flash mode........... but the larger was very distracting in flash mode. So there is some feed back........ in IMHO go for 40/45 mm lamp.

    Only Chopper (I mean Choppa) can have one of those! (if you are old enough to know what I mean).

    I was trying to work out which to use and what mode would be best.
