wow, great video! you guys have some sweet bikes! looks like a helluva lot of fun....
it gives me the itch to take my machine down to Puke for some thrashing

i take it you don't have to lockwire the sump-plugs (etc) on a test day? just make sure she's fit and healthy?

LOL there was footage of your wheelie but unfortunately it was a bunny hop and didnt do your wheelie skills justice.

Next time!

you could have just cut it off at the top of the bunny hop! I did some better ones coming out of the hairpin at the end of the back straight- that's where ALL of the action happened!

Thanks again for your efforts KS & co.

Yea mate i should make it (hopefully), aslong as i finish work in time..... (im starting really early for the day as well lol). Who else is going???? KK hurry up and paint your bike, i want to see it flying down the straight and through the corners...

Finally got the video downloaded.... Fucking mint job Kiwistorm

some great footage, are you coming again this friday?

**White trash** · 22nd March 2004, 16:26

Awesome work guys

Please please be there on the 23rd of April as a few of Wellingtonians are coming north to meet a few of you.

**Kwaka-Kid** · 22nd March 2004, 20:05

right, WILL TRY MY BEST to be there. Sorry i didnt make this one guys, and wont make one this friday, like, in my mind i see it as such a cost when ive been there like a number of times and raced properly and the problem i find with trackdays is u get out SOO much and i cant help myself, so end up clocking up hte K's and just circulating without improvement just wearing out the old girl and her worn shoes that have to last the next 2 races (this weekend taupo, next weekend Pukekohe) i really am hopeing they will last.. because im going to make them wheather they have tread/grip or not

sux2bpoor.

**Coldkiwi** · 23rd March 2004, 11:21

man.. i'm gonna still be skint for cash come the 23rd but i'm am SORELY tempted to get sick that day

**Coldkiwi** · 23rd March 2004, 11:41

ooooeeeer dear!! just downloaded that video (absolute pearler KS!! maybe we should pack a tripod for shots of guys dissappearing down the back straight on full zoom?) and now i'm having trouble justifying not coming out again... specially if there's a good bunch of fast guys on fast bikes cause its always nice to have some targets, albiet ranging from realistic to dreaming, to set my sights on!

Do it!

It'd be cool to see you there. The more Alstare reps there the better.

**Motoracer** · 23rd March 2004, 12:04

P.S. Ching, we saw you shoot past us going the other way when we were driving up from Wellingoton.

if I am there, I will have removed the alstare fairings for the day and be using 750Y's old blue/white race fairings to save on any spills. the tank will be the same tho so it should look a right ugly hotch potch and stick out like dogs bollocks!

**Kwaka-Kid** · 24th March 2004, 00:04

Hey Greg! long time dude! yeah cant wait for taupo it will be fun, and no dude, i think ill be following you

Well the bikes mostly painted now! just getting last coat on thursday then ill paint hte black nubmer boards friday then stick numbers on saturday and race sunday! she should be looking mint i hope

rough job yet still many many hours spent in prep

dealing with really bad examples of fairings
