    Cool

    I had an absolute blast. the first session was not long enough. i was just getting into my stride when we had to come in. Luckily I was following someone as I did not see the flag. C class was brilliant as there were only about half a dozen riders in it. D was with us as well. 2nd session and I was into it, moving around in the seat, getting my knee out etc. I even pulled away from D on the home straight - made my day when he told me!!!! I got up to 210 on the straight once during the day - fastest I have been on the track. I was buzzing. Could have done with a bit more time on the track - a little longer each session, but then we would have had less sessions so you can't win!! 30UTD is my hero, he was only coming out for the morning, too pissed off about not being able to ride to cope with a full day. When they called for volunteers to be a flag marshal so we could use the dipper he put his hand up without any prompting. We were all told by the organisers to thank the marshalls, so 30UTD got hugs allround!!!
    Riding the Buell was an experience. First time on the Buell and I found it soo completely different to the R6 - of course. Couldn't get to the magic 200Kms, but did manage to redline it by mistake!!!
    I was hoping hubby would get some photos of me on the track, but as he was a marshall didn't get any of me. At least Rashika got a couple on different bikes!
    A dog will do what you ask
    A cat will take a message and get back to you later

    See even Gwenda is faster than you

    Yeah should mention Nipper, once I could keep the bucket ahead of his 150RG but not a shit show now
    Have to thank his old man tho, after his speach about NO wheelies at riders breif... in the last race were I was on the Buell I was getting a bit carried away, Nipper senior looked at me in the pits and said ' I saw nothing'

    Many Thanks to Sportzone Suzuki and Motorcycling Canturbury members and volunteers for an excellent day out at Ruapuna. I`ll definitely be back for the next one, that was the best fun I`ve had for years.

    Yeah... we usually rely on the in house KB photographer, but she ws on the track, so not many pic's this time round.
    SF usually take a week and a bit to get the pic's on line.
