    It reminds me of the (one and only) time I went for a blat out at Puke... I got that feeling of standing still/going backwards as some dude on an R1 went past with his arse on fire...

    I thought I was ding ok till that point.

    I can imagine the same will happen if you got out there Frosty LOL!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Hmm.. maybe that last comment was a bit too subtle for KB. Possibly quotation marks around the word friend or even a or might have been appropriate.

    I simply want to condense 3 years of wear and tear into one day of riding on a Coleman's GN. Is that too much to ask?

    If you are really serious about a good GN250 race (which is very possible), it has to be at the Mt Welly go kart track and not at a race track like Pukei!!!

    It might be a bit much for a slow coach like me to go racing. I dont think I will come to auckland and try to keep pace with MR on ANY track

    pump gas only.. no nitro-methane, ethenol, Avgas or race gas.. no turbo's or NOS, no trick $3000 carbon fiber fairings


    just you and your mighty GN

    I sense a cunning plan by the Suzuki salesman.....

    Lots of GN250s, going flat out around Pukekohe, spewing out engine and transmission bits on the back straight, running off the track as puny brakes fade and skinny tyres lose traction.....= selling more GN250s!! Am I the only one who senses the deviousness of his evil plan?

    Could be worse Kerry. Waint until AMPS announce their Sportster day at Puke...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    So tempting. Must resist urge, no money to replace anything at the moment. Allready have to see Dan tommorow to get that taillight screw off him at Colemans. ARGH.
    I'd be really interested if it wasn't my GN250 that I was potentionally writing off.

    Oh well, can I come as a spectator?

    Ill give it a go if someone gives me a GN250... I reckon i can do the entire track at full throttle in 5th (it only has five gears aye?) with only a slight dab of the brakes at the 20 metre mark on the back straight...
    See Robert Taylor for any Ohlins requirements www.northwest.co.nz
    Thanks Colemans Suzuki
    Thanks AMCC
