Puke open day. March 29, 2003

[SpankMe]

With Track Time 4 coming up, many people have been asking about orginizing a trip to a Pukekohe open day. A Saturday open day would be the easiest for everyone to attend and there is only one before TT4. So myself, moose and PlayerX and going on March 29. Hope to see many more forum members there.

Oh yes... I'll be there!

Can't make the track time but I've just got some new Pirelli's mmm... very sticky ... so you can count on me to be there giving them death!

 

[perryd]

Sounds good.... I need some more track time!

[Coldkiwi]

Hey spankme, (no, not like that)... How do we pay for that? Do we need to pre-book or just roll into the office on the day? How much is it again?

 

 

[SpankMe]

$80, pay on the day.

Questions:

1. Learner riders are allowed at the open day?

2. Cordura Suits etc v leathers - track time is stricter than open days

3. Is this a bike only open day - or will there be car classes as well?

 

I'll be there to absolutely shag my rennsports - yee hah.  Just got new footpegs that have no hero blobs and are higher - bring it on

[SpankMe]

Any rider with a license can attend.

They are not as strict on bike gear as the guys at Track Time. I've done open days with leather jacket and wet weather trousers.

The day is open to all vehicles. They usually give each vehicle type (v8, bike, jappa, porche) 10-15 mins each.

[Coldkiwi]

right... so don't tell any car owners!

I'd just like to say though... for any learners going out there... wear the best gear you can.. beg or borrow cause I don't want to think about coming off in jeans at the best of times, let alone at over 100k

Can't wait.. just got the new sliders sewn on too. I might have to do some sneaky work with the sandpaper though if I get to chicken on the 6R

I am going down (need to shag the Renners seeing as I now had a plug in the rear from my recent flatty)...

Who else is going from KiwiBiker, coz it would be a good show of numbers and a chance for everyone to meet one another........

I will be there, Yellow VTR........let's make a day of it......

I am trying to tee up a BBQ to be there for the day as well.......

My Advice to those going:  Take a bikes on a trailer, with plates etc off, if you stack, back on trailer and it appears on the road having an accident a week later - no insurance hassles

Do you know what time of day for the bikes and cars etc. or do we find out on arrival?

[SpankMe]

The track day will start at 10:30am. Since it's a Saturday, it could be busy so I have no idea when the bikes will be let on. I suggest meeting at the Autobahn for all those who are going down from Auckland and we will leave there at 9:45am. I also suggest taking some food and drink. At previous open days, none of the food stalls were open.

This is assumimg the weather is good, but the forcast is looking bleak. It's its raining I ain't going.

For anyone interested , I will have my GSXR 1000 at the ride day ( Sat ) for viewing, Bring ya $$$$$$$$$$$$$

one careful elderly lady owner right Dan?

I'd rate the use of a BBQ quite highly on the day! Is that still a go-er Wkid?

[bluninja]

With the comments about trailers to get the bikes there....it would be great if people going with spare bike spaces would post for those who want to come to some arrangement to fill their hole (so to speak). Not decided if I'll pop along yet, depends on the weather (both track accidents have been in damp or wet weather so I don't fancy adding another damp mishap to the list).

I'll be going unless it's pissing down. Does anyone know if they charge $80 per person or per vehicle? I

 want to take the 250 and 600 (but if that's the case I won't have any room for more bikes) but not if they're going to sting me $160 for the privelege of using both of them. Otherwise I'll be just riding out there
