Track day crashes!

[vinducati]

The School is really great done 3 levels, changed completely how I ride.

[nzspokes]

It's still rider error but the track design is an issue.

The track changed from the lap before?

He would have been round the track a few times before this to learn it.

[Shaun Harris]

there is no good reason nor reasnoable excuse for what happened, the rider fuked up and that has cost others a lot. This shit happens in Racing on occasions, but very rearly.

[vinducati]

I think that sums it up.
We are lucky someone was not killed.
If you are at a ride or trackday, please respect your fellow riders.
Follow the rules, stay cool.

Reckon, looking forward to it! Lev will be run at a normal Playday but get more coach time, mint... will leave my mirrors on I think.

It's actually nothing like the playday with more coach time.
Prepare to be sitting in a classroom for periods of time and be prepared to be riding very slow for many sessions.
But you will still enjoy it immensely. Take it all in as it is worth it's weight in gold.

Yeah all good Grubber. Looking forward to it. Is Lev 4.

CSS is scheduled for Mar but invite to bring one class forward for a small group to run same day as Playday instead of the scheduled day. Incentive being it's sooner and more time with your L4 coach(s). Bargain!

Yup, lots to work on.
The best bit is a course is only $50 thanks to ACC and www.rideforever.co.nz

Much more constructive as making a pile of mistakes on a track day.

Looked them up and realized this is the road training run by Prorider (up here). A couple of friends have already done it and thought it was great! Lining up mid Feb to do it with them.

Awesome.
Funny old thing you can go straight to the ProRider site by clicking on the big banner in my signature block....

The Rideforever link is to enable everybody to find their local training provider.
Good on you SPP for getting amongst the motorcycle education system.

hmmmm. Housten we have a problem....

Passing can only be done under acceleration, so no passing under braking is allowed If a car catches you we ask you let it pass or if it is slower on the straights get it to move ahead of you in the queue for the next set of laps.

From what I see about Playdays (and a quick squiz over the web site) they are Cage Focused....

Ed and Mandy (I think that's her name) are both ex-Hampton Downs Ride Days staff, I've never seen either of them turn up on 4 wheels unless it was Ed's van with a bike in the back and they've both worked at a huge number of track days (for Ed that's almost all of the Hampton Downs Ride Days as well as almost all of the Play Days that have involved bikes, so a good couple of hundred I'd say).

Ash was also part of the team but left due to other commitments.

Play Days are also the crew that run the South Island 4 tracks in a week for bikes tours that are coming up in February/March

Website doesn't show much in the way of bikes cos cars bring in the money.

You can't and should not blame the organiser unless it's a blatant negligent e.g. releasing 200 riders at the same time.

The rider trying to pass on the inside made a mistake.
That's where the buck stops.

If you keep trying to blame someone else; then you're not much better than cyclist lobby group who're trying to change everyone else except improving the cyclist themselves.
