Marshalling at Pukekohe 1.4.06

I don't think abusive was the correct term, And I was really impressed with your riding (what we could see of it from there) but you put on quite a show!

We were a bit scared you were gonna smack us with your gloves, or kill anything within swinging distance!!

Glad you were OK, and it was good to see you jump straight back on and out. Exhaust looked like it was bent in over the wheel, did that cause any problems?

Sorry if it seemed I was being snarky, maybe it was a long day or something.
It was seriously cool to watch the racing, I was only sorry I didn't get there a bit earlier, and have a chance to meet you guys!

Yeah, as Motobob would say - I threw a bit of a tanty! I was very lucky to be able to get back on.

No, the exhaust didn't cause a problem thankfully, but we did need to rivit it back together and push it back into place before getting the bike rescrutineered.

Was it you riding with Classics or whatever the heck they were? Are you buying the bike, or just blatting it? Thing had some serious power off the hairpin (sorry if I bugger all the corner names etc up, my first time at Puke, and my first time as a marshall)

[Keystone19]

Yeah, Clubmans were riding with pre-89 classics but started about 2 seconds behind so we seem to work up through the pack 'cause mostly we seemed to be on faster bikes.

I was just borrowing the bike which is also why i was so pissed off when I binned it.

So now you are telling me on a borrowed bike, hence unfamiliar, and you did that well? You were kicking ass out of the hairpin that race! thats bloody good, I'm impressed!! I'll shake your hand when I meet you, as long as you promise not to tear me head off or whack me with your helmet?!!

lol, I promise, I'm really quite mild mannered most of the time...

[kickingzebra]

Just for the record everyone, I stand corrected, Mild mannered person found at bad time. My bad judgement.
All in all it was a kick ass day...
and I want an 06 r6!!! Was it worked? or stock? Sam was coming in soo damn hot, I could have sworn he'd lose it so many times, always pulled in and through! Respect to all out there!

Another question, the guy on the GSXR that crashed out early on, and was ambulanced away, was he OK? seemed like concussion, but hard to tell. He did a good (demolition) job on the bike anyway!!

Then GSXR dude crashed right in front of me, Speed medic said he thought he may have bruised his lung a little as it sounded funny (not the medical way he put it) so they sent him to for an x-ray to be sure...

What a sweet day, I had an entertaining time on top of the hill with SPB and Gazza, here's a few photo's,

We had a few laughs at Billy Idol and his storm trooper boots, I also included a photo of him in action to prove he didn't spend all day posing

A very worth while day if anyone is keen to come along.
