I look forward to see you out there again and hope the ride back to Rotorua was ok.

Hey Kiwistorm, when are the pictures going to be up and ready? Man your bike has some mint tricks lol... Hope you get 300 next time

Hi ya TS - good on ya for coming along. No probs with getting over 300 - thats if you believe the speedo but I hit red line in top gear, (and have it on film) so who knows?

KiwiDan is working on getting the pics uploaded. He has about 30 good ones?

Hey Guys here is a small teaser of the on-board video, I had to make it short and of poor quality to reduce size and be able to post.
Full video will be available on the server once I finish editing and get it to Spank.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the short movie KS. Man it will be hard for you to downgrade from your Gixxer 1000 when the time comes, knowing & experiencing how much grunt that thing has!

But still looking forward to the next open day. There is going to be a Bike Only Open Day on the 23rd of April. I will post a news item on the homepage closer to the date.

so how many bikers from this site turned up?

)

Thanks to KiwiStorm and Harley for the photos of the day. Images are now in the gallery.

Also a movie has been compiled by KiwiStorm is available in wmv (8.5MB) and the higher quality (but same res) mpg (42MB).

**Two Smoker** · 21st March 2004, 21:52

Great to see the photos up!!!! Are there anymore? Still waiting for the download to finish

**Two Smoker** · 21st March 2004, 22:13

Both Videos seem to be stuffing up

Is it because they are still being uploaded onto the site???? i can only end up seeing about 50 seconds of it, and its sooooooooooooooo good,

Bloody good job Kiwistorm

**SpankMe** · 21st March 2004, 23:55

I just downloaded and played the wmv file with problem. Also all the days images in the gallery have been reduced to 1600x1200. If you would like the full res image, just send me a message to have it emailed to you.

**kiwistorm** · 22nd March 2004, 13:21

I'm pleased you guys liked it.

It was a good test day to see what would happen on film.
Next time I will be able to get much better footage without all the messing around.

Enjoy!

wmv (8.5MB) and the higher quality (but same res) mpg (42MB).
