Sorry to hear about the crash Andrew. Motoracer told me that it happened at the same place that I crashed my KLX650 a year and half ago - I think I even told you about that incident when we were in Paeroa - coincidence or what?

It really sux I know but like I was saying before, you got away with it pretty lightly and it could have been way worst. I know it still hurts the walet and pride etc but like KK said, it happens to most of us at some time. Besides being the 45th one to bin it there must say something about the corner itself.
I'd rather be thinking
I still don't know exactly where it happened.Originally Posted by Motoracer

I could draw you a map on paper but since I am so lost for names, I'll leave it for someone else to explain.

So where was everyone? I went up with a group of late risers. Stopped by the RSA a few times but never saw any KBers. I did manage to see Vladi, Andrew and Logan just before heading home.
Too bad I missed the KB gathering place. Would have been nice to meet up with some of the others I haven't met yet, especially the non Aucklanders.

I apparently missed it as well. :confused2

Hi Guys. Sorry about not organising the meeting-up better. Bumped into What? (KB t-shirts are great!) and chatted for ages (nice to meet you!) and then got carried away with guys in leather. We were sort of helping out a couple of our mates racing and the time just got away on me.
I did see a couple of KB t-shirts, but they were across the track.
An excellent day's racing.
The demo laps by Tony Rees on the standard 04 R1 were pretty good too.
Yep, Jason McEwen's crash was pretty spectacular Zed.
Motu, also saw Eric Bone's - I'm so glad he was okay, he's a neat guy.
Did you guys see Steve Bridge on the Duc go down - highsided coming out of the esses - ouch.
MikeL - I'm SO SO sorry I didn't get to meet you too......we'll have to organise something sometime....
And we met up with ching_ching at Turangi Saturday AM on the way north, he rode with us (behind our car she says rather sheepishly, eyes downcast....) and we spent a very pleasent time at the McCafe in Taupo chatting over brunch. Lovely to meet you ching.
I'm now trying to catch up on 75 posts!
OK, so who's next?
Yeah,us too.We got stuck on the outside of the track for a while and by the time we got there we couldn't see anyone......

Good to meet whoever I met, though I'm not really sure who for a few of you. Ride there was damned fast. Flat on tank and throttle pinned clutchless redline changes the entire way. Stupid straight roads.
Was just behind andrew for his crash on the way back. Saw his slide through the gravel on his back. That road is in pretty bad shape, I was getting some good steering shakes through there. When the sour looking old codger came lumbering up his drive I was sure he was gonna give us a rolicking, but he was pretty sympathetic, and on a crusade against the council by the sounds of it.
Damn it SPman, pretty sly with that camera huh :eyepoke:

Yeah, finally figuring out how to use these new fangled digital thingies!10x optical zoom always helps

Met up with KK, Andrew, Georgedubya and others at the Autobahn, (see earlier photo), Duke, (dummy grid marshal)l and Bestfun, (grid marshal) were our KB workers (see (crap) photos)(eventually worked out how to get around the shutter delay in digital cameras - after lots of shots where bikes and faces, had BEEN!). Also saw Spank, Nhuahn (who made it this year, but then lost his keys and had to get his flatmate to drive down from Ak with the spare!!!
), Duckman (or was it Dave - I always get them mixed - not brothers ,are you?) and, after the end of racing, Wonko.
Other than them, not a sausage.

I don't suppose anyone's got any photos of either the post classic races (the 82 forgotten era ones) with #142 (black/yellow GSX1100), or Formula Streets with #17 (black Duc)?

Anyone get any shots of "Peoples Hero" Bruns on his #66 GSX-R600? Blue one. He's the guy that goes all red and looks like he stands to loose a few pounds.
(Sorry, Jo)
