nice eman i catch you down there
i dunno cajun.... Jon can peddle that rf![]()
turkey strips?! they be "blued" strips, from other trackdays/matawai ridesi don't like turkeys.
peddling? who me? ever heard of an italian peddling? that's wot i thought.
was gonna pop in on you lot at Taupo today, but ended up coming home Sat night, seeing as the day finished early-ish & we still felt ok-ish.
nah, the paddock stand found itself a perfect lil pozzy at the front of the trailer; bikes were more stable 'rubber down'.
The write up part.
Asked Todd from KiwiRider to show me some lines (i'd been watching him trying to get ppl in Novice to follow him). Figured it'd be best to learn the track 'properly' from the 1st session; it was the best thing i did all day.
He followed me for a couple laps; then i followed him & he learned me; then he followed me to check i'd been learned & we had a wee chat in the pits about it. He reckons i was pretty much on the right track (), just pointed out stuff to try on 1 & Higgins & the final turn.
Poor ol' RF had herself a workout; hit the limiter a couple of times, and (Tboy'll be proud) regularly had the needle buried in the red stuff...
Stoked to see Shirriffs out on his new bike and enjoyed the 'group chat session' with him afterwards.
We "pitted" next to manxkiwi & his mate peter; manx was over at the TT this year too, so you can imagine wot we gas bagged about. Followed him in the last session; he gets reeeeet over on his RGV!! and is quick through corners!
In the 2nd to last session (my best one i think) i even had the old girl a little sideways under brakes into the final sweeper...Started trying to counter-steer even more to make it go out more, but then figured i'd better just enjoy what it was doing as it was...Awesome feeling!!
So yeh,a great day out...look forward to the new surface, and look forward to warmer track temperatures!
