Tony Rees at KR Ruapuna Track Day 10/12/05

**chris** · 22nd November 2005, 09:01

Reigning New Zealand Superbike champion Tony Rees will be making an appearance at the Canterbury Rides/Kiwi Rider Magazine Ruapuna Track Day on 10th December. Tony has agreed to come along and offer advice and riding/set up tips throughout the day and as he has more titles than Whitcoulls, he knows what he is talking about!

Canterbury Rides, Christchurch's newest BMW and Yamaha dealer are sponsoring the day and will have examples of the following models on display: BMW HP2, K1200S, K1200R, Yamaha MT01 and hopefully one or two bikes formerly ridden by Tony Rees. Rodney Faulkner of Canterbury Rides will have a bunch of entry forms on the counter for anyone interested in coming along, otherwise e-mail me for forms.

KB'ers pay the subscribers rate.

We spoil you lot.

Chris

Yup a Saturday indeed...

I might make my way out there, if I can find Ruapuna

man..... that's pretty cheap - okay not as cheap as tues / fri track sessions but Tony Rees doesn't turn up to those.... and i figure we won't be sharing the track with tin tops either.....

now if Tony could get me round in under 1:50 - that'd be the speed where i'm freakin out and he's riding with one arm on the bars and looking backwards at me....

Group? I guess I need the form, what are the groups? is there one for wheelies?

and dude if you want to get around faster than 1.50 you should hold on to the back of my bike

Start there and see how it sorts itself out.... the last day i ended up in fast cos the "fast" guys were running in the 140's/50's... but it's possible that guys could turn up who run high 30's and don't want me in the way....

but i don't wanna be lapping with Nana's either.... that happened at the last one and these poeple freaked out cos we were taking then on the outside on the sweeper and they wouldn't go out again.... meh!
