If someone passes you he is a nutter and you expect to pick him off the blacktop round the next corner, if you pass someone they are a slow and have all the gear and no idea

I like soft compound tyres for a bit of grip but don't know if they would last as long as they do in scotland, due to the weather difference, and heat in the road, so maybe something a little harder wearing may suit, not that I ride like Arron Slight.

That is Aaron Slight.
Anyway, welcome to NZ (when you get here), and I am sure you will love the roads over here (well most of them).

Thank you!

I went in to one local Pirelli stockist, saw those prices and asked, "You don't seriously expect to sell many at that price do you?"welcome sennandy
list price is around $500 for the rear, $350 front, as far as i know
He came straight back with a price somewhat over half of that, and more or less comparable with Bridgestones etc.
I don't know why they have that silly ticket price, it must scare a lot of people off.

Great link, my house was right at signpost corner great view, we had a few kiwi's in at a BBQ we had one year when Honda sponsored a few and Yer Man(Joey) was also there, I think it was Honda's 50th Birthday or something? I had my own Building company and we sponsored a few racer hence the contact with Honda and my house had a big BBQ and was track side.
My 2 kids are Manx, great place but after 5 years gets a bit incestual. Moved back to Scotland and now 5 years on over to Kiwi land.
I didn't know you guys had road races, this place gets better all the time and so close to Phillip Island(well closer than me, for now). Are the raod races yearly? When and how far from Auckland and everything else lol.
That must have been some trip in 04.

wikkid! all that heavy braking as they come flying up towards ya!
we stayed at Barregaroo (sp?) X-roads, at Cronk Aashen - top spot, great people, real laid back like.. and a great spectating point too!
Ian Lougher came out a bit wide once, while we were sat on the bank @100m down the hill: he was on the back wheel, leaning over the front & to the side, trying to get her down and over.......and all this up on the footpath!!! went flashing past right beneath us....awesome!
yeh, you're right, '04 was a good vintage! some cool trips were had.
NZ road racing is cool, shorter circuits generally, but no love lost!
Paeroa races are coming up in Feb, after that.....the KB trackday is where you wanna be!!
