Attendence Required 23 April @ Puke

**RiderInBlack** · 25th April 2004, 07:53

Awesome Day. Hope the Yamy FJ1200 is fixable and the rider is feeling OK today.

The Diablos went great on the CBR. Still need to work on my cornering, but getting some better lines. Must get to one of those track training days (when I can afford it)!

Had 2 punchers at the same time in my back tyre on the motorway heading back to Whangarei. Trying to use those tubeless repair kits in the dark was fucken hard. Still had a leak in one of the punchers, so ended up having to stay the night with friends in Albany! The Dude @ Leading Edge was surpised that the new Diab got punchered, until I showed him the nail!

Aye, I was thinking that as I was trying to repair the tyre. It was comforting, but I am sure all the "cages" I pass on the motorway were having a good laugh as they passed me sitting on the side of the motorway

Ya, but the Diab's and alinement were well worth the wait, and I tried hard to make up for lost time.
Good to see you there to Zed, even if you were seriously kicking my ass

Good fuck bike, Zed

keep it up!

Sorry RIB and every one else who I didn't manage to see or meet at the time. I couldn't tell who was who there. I was with the blue on white leathers with BAYLISE written across the back btw.

yeehaw! i saw yah there sudeep, doin well, doin well my friend! cant wait for us all to catch up again but TS i think the 8th is out of the question for me, i only blimmin came to this one because of you! it costs so much when you add everything up, its cheaper for me to enter a race and ai get a place in that AND NOT a whole load of bigger bikes just whizzin by and lappin me.
oh so did anyone have a vid camera?

**Motoracer** · 25th April 2004, 09:45

Thanx KK, you on the 400 getting a 1.11 is bloody respectable as well. I got a few things that have now thought out well so if my next day at the track isn't too far in the future, I should be able to improve my time a bit.

I just wanted to continue our disscusion here about that braking thing. You get a WSBK and a MotoGP bike. You can flip both straight away if you try to. But in racing situation, the GP bike will out brake the SBK by quite a bit (its not just the weight issue). The key is trying to brake as hard as you can without flipping the thing. This should be the same as trying to put the power down without doing an un-intentinal wheelie or a wheelspin. Both will do a power stand in 1st and flip you over if you put the power down real hard. However if both bikes were to take off just right with out doing a wheelie (not a big one anyway), the GP bike will obviously be way faster.

P.S. Fuck, I know eh! I spent 161 dollars and thats with only spending a dollar for lunch (One nice lady at BP was kind to me and gave me some free food for some reason).

Well given your awesome performance (first time you have had that bike on the track) (1.07) I would have said money well spent !!

I got an e mail from the owner and he's fine.The bike really wasn't that bad
new mirror,pegs,handlebar and an indicator and its back on the road.
needs a bit more but not much to be pretty again

Thanks for your concern. I have vague memories of a rider in black hovering near me when I was writhing on the ground.
I just hope the Armco is cracked & hurting like me ! It cracked my helmet & would have broken my back if it wasn't for the back protector. I have a fairly swolen lower spine & parallel white stripes going up the back of my jacket accross my shoulder & up the side of my helmet.

(I very much appreciated the help of (xjxjxjx & babyb), peoples true charater is shown at times like this. Also my thanks to anyone else who assisted with me or my bike. I don't remember much of the rest of the afternoon, even if you did see me walking around. I think you will find that my eyes weren't focused.)

KwakaKid, As for videing, I came to watch & do exactly that on Friday... (I was not intending to ride for reasons some of you may know. Temptation overcame me and I was enjoying myself as I always do riding, That corner was my favourite as well...) I tried my best to get lots of different people on video, it was quite hard work. I think I got WhiteTrash ((Mr Fast) I was going to intoduce myself & fall at your feet later, But I went riding instead, Great Wheelstands!). MotoRacer I got, & RiderinBlack, & several others. KwakaKid I don't know what you were riding so I don't know wether I got you or not. But I will give what I have to spankme in due course.

By the sound of your stunning performance on the track, perhaps we should be paying you for the entertainment next time. Well done!!

1:07's for a first time gsxr 600 rider at Puke means free entry??? where do we sign up?

interesting comment about the back protector XRNR. Glad you had one on. I bought one after a few track days (Hinged R-jays with locking plates; at $125 its pretty affordable) but I don't see many other riders wearing them. Who else uses them and if you have one, how often?? (mines only for track or day fanging)
