Two clues:

1) Used to ride a 999
2) Is known for wheelies

That should make it fairly clear for the Wgtn riders.

Slight correction, he still owns the 999. Lucky sod !!!

And he's got black Dainese Ducati leathers. Lives in Silverstream I believe. Has a brother who rides a Duc as well (a 900SS?)

Has been photographed in the Dom Post doing a massive burnout.

OK, Mr D picked up his blade last night (Fri) so we did a quick dash over the takas before if got dark. We are two stunned mullets! Words fail me to describe the performance, totally mind blowing stuff. Dion was running his in but somehow sneaked in 2 wheelies. I've done a few but its so well balanced its reluctant to lift. practice practice as they say. Here are the happy chappies.
ps: WT- I'll bring it in this week to WMC and introduce myself to you.[IMG]

No can do this week, Mark. I'm off for a week.

Why don't you, Dion and Steve come for a ride to Pukekohe with me on Thursday? Get some kays on the new bikes!

**Motoracer** · 17th April 2004, 12:47

Sooo love that red! It would be so mean if they brought out a Rossi rep version of it.

Thanks Jimmy for the invite but I doubt I can get off work (plus I've no leave left). The others might be keen. I'll pass it on. Dion tells me you are damn good on that rear wheel. We need to get together with a video. Dion's got an ace mini bike cam.
I just got back from riding and pleased to report the wheelies are getting easier. Enjoy your week off.

Thanks Mark. Tell Dion I'm chasing his record.

If you're keen, we'll try to catch up next weekend or some thing. We've already at Manfeild a couple of times, I'm usually riding Johanns race bike (now Motoracers)

Fucken' horse power those things of yours have got, you'll be wheelying away into the distance from us apprentices on our baby sixxes

Where's my 750?

Track days at Manfeild start next month, you fast guys'll be there?

I need someone to follow!

Paints cheap. todd Moffat would do the micky job with one of those!

**White trash** · 17th April 2004, 13:54

Why the hell aren't you out riding that sexy machine, Mark?

Company just too good on the net I suppose.

Tony Sampson and his mate were just in the shop, Tony on his 04 R1 and his partener in crime Fireblade mounted. They don't wanna come to Puke with me either!

I'm beginning to think the Wgtn people are scared of Aucklanders or something! :disapint:

Yep, should be there next weekend. Usually mornings- family stuff afternoons. Lots of Guys up the hill this morning. I meet Johann at some of the public days over the last 2 years until they banned race bikes. Don't talk about little Sixes- everytime he blew pass me on the racing 600 I'd check that my motor was turned on ! That must be the bike you mentioned. Bugger me it screams.
Are you talking about Vic. bike days starting soon or the public car & bike sunday sessions at Manfeild?
