Manfield track day, 14th Jan

Make yourself known Oil Boiler I'll be on a yellow Sv650 that has considerable gravel rash. The Welly crew aren't quite as easy to spot but I can point them out to you. Its good to have some KBers coming from the north.

Weather's looking good, and I can't wait to get out on the track. Love to meet up with all the KB guys heading out. Will be wearing the good ol' KB t-shirt so should be easy spot. And the bike's pretty distinctive too.

So....... how many people were foolish enough to lend WT their bike for a session today?

**kiwifruit** · 14th January 2006, 18:18

thanks to all those who made the trackday possible
i had a fantastic time!
twas my first time on a track and sure wont be my last.....
looked like it was going to be wet for a while there,
turned out to be a ripper.
All those who have ever considered having a go round a track
i can highly recomend the Central Districts Motorcycle Touring Club Incorporated trackday, they do a great job.
No mucking round, track time was well used.

What more can i say.....
THANK YOU!!!!

RR - I think poos was the only one. WT and Jimbo600 looked like they were having a good ol battle out there for a sess.

I met Fatjim but apparently some KBer aged about 50 was looking for Beemer - he spoke to Loopy but she told him I was in the shed when I was actually out watching a session! Sorry I missed you, whoever you were - you should have left a note on the Goose!

Speaking of the Goose, here is my husband out for a play on it, just passing the VTR!

I was going to go to this trackday, but I had to dip out. But lucky I did as my aunt was rushed into hospital with bleeding on the brain, so I'm not unhappy about missing some track time this time. However, she's fantastic and already making a miraculous recovery from the op.

**kiwifruit** · 15th January 2006, 10:47

damn! im sorry to hear that Mental-Trousers.
I hope she makes the speedist of recoverys.
Regards, Allan.

was a good time. Enjoyed watching the morning sessions so much i gave in and signed up to do the afternoon ones. Gave bugjuice a good run for his money up the front of the mixed group at the end.

Looooooong ride home today but not achey or anything, i think buggy and kelly are gonna be a different story though.

**bugjuice** · 16th January 2006, 08:46

fuckin ache. post more later. just got to work. going to sleep.

**Bartman10** · 16th January 2006, 11:41

Had a great time. Nice to chat to some of the Auckland KB'ers.

Unfortunately, at about five minutes to four I managed to highside the 250.

I felt like I'd been though a heavy duty washing machine cycle.

Only a bit of bruising though, my leathers and back protector did a great job of preventing any major injury.

Has any one got a spare handle bar and foot peg (RHS) for a ZXR250A?

PM me if ya do!

**bugjuice** · 16th January 2006, 12:05

I didn't see that happen! I assume that was on the track etc?
The only orklundurs were Gareth_d and moi with the gf on the boot.. The rest were pussies.

**Bartman10** · 16th January 2006, 12:14

Yeah, that was after the 'public' part of the track day had finished. A few CD members decided to have a quick fang for 15 minutes, including me. Turned out to be a big mistake, I was tired and loosing concentration.

Nice little battle for a while there by the way bugjuice! Power vs low weight. Of course power was the winner on the day, but I still had fun while I was next to you under brakes (while it lasted!).

**bugjuice** · 16th January 2006, 12:32

there were so many bikes, that I just tried to learn a bit from one and move onto the next if I could. I ended up just trying to move on! You should have said earlier, and we could have had a real nice little battle! I would have tried a bit harder. But that was the first time on the track so I was trying to find the lines and trust the bike/surface, and I had to get home on that bike too, so I was just finding my feet. I should have followed you for longer!

But yeah, was a good knackering day. Well, for next time

Few shots of the day and way back. Racked up 1128kms from 6pm Friday to 6pm sunday.. not too bad I guess.
