Kawasaki "Good Times" Drag Day, 3 November

[Motorcycle Recovery]

Brake fluid either boiled over today or I suffed some sort of extreme brake fade followed by a sudden lock up.
Been over the video a few times and can't figure out what went wrong. Bike is in good shape apart from the plastics. I rode it home.

Hey Jay, good to see you made it home ok. I kept and eye out for a big pile of busa panels sitting on SH1 Give me a call during the week and I'll organise getting that cover back to you.

Yeah Kev,

She made it home no sweat. Felt like a slow ride though after going so fast all day. I will assess the damages tomorrow but it all looks ok and she still rides the same.
Video on its way chaps. The edited version...



Posted it up in the racing section to

Any pics of the event or more vids ?

Fastest I did was a 10.9
There were plenty of chaps running faster

looking at that vid when it went bad it seems it went as well as it could, no horrible flips and looks like it just grazed the wall.

certainly looks like the front end locks from the video. glad your all good.

Na left the Z1000 cosy in the pits. Was a good event to watch. I'll get on the track next year (with new front rotors and pads). Still working on getting the bike how I want it, running low on $ and time lately.

ill chase it tomorrow, got the bill, so it can't be far off,

[scott411]

there has been a slight issue with the hit list being deleted, they will have to go back and do it manually, hopefully ill have it by the end of the week

[scott411]

Sorry for the delay, the hit list just arrived,

Woohoo 9th

Its crazy how low the trap speeds are of the two fastest riders, there are others .3s slower with 10mph faster traps, must have been getting an awesome launch on those bikes.
