On a GN125 bucket bugger all,on the F1 sidecar in the wet as much as you can get,only raced there once in the 2001 nationals and wasn't very impressed with the place,but i'm spoilt with Ruapuna not far down the road.On a GN125 bucket, how much run off do you need

Soo-deep
Is that where some bike racers have lost thier lives? Hmmmm, best not to think about it. I even had a front wheel slide on the GSXR comming over the hill on Friday, luckily I haven't given the dangers much thought so a bit of push on the knee sliders into the ground and it came back nicely.Armco is that steel shit so good at hauling up V8 super cars but very unforgiving!

Aint it funny how 2 people at opposite ends of the country, having only met once have such a similar sense of humour.
Want to go on a date, oh that's right, you're getting married.

You big Softcock,if you haven't been out on one then you don't know what you're talking about,its not as bad as it looks and its amazing the number of people who say you must be mad,when they've never tried it.
If you're ever down this way I'll organsie a ride for you,promise I'll go slow
Can anyone find crash,death,injury statistics from the different tracks? had a bit of a look but the only track I remember deaths from is Pukekohe,all tracks have accidents,but I think the layout and what precautions are taken can lessen the risks

I wanna ride on the shiny outfit too! Don't forget the "Trash Man"!
And I can give you a ride on the back of the Gixxer. Sounds like a good trade to me.

Recovering from Friday nite most likely
.
I know of three people have been killed at Pukekohe: Cal Rayborn, an American out here in the '70s (1973?) at Jennian Homes corner; Ian Slater from Wgtn (WT: he worked for Wgtn M/Cycles) in about 1979/80 I think it was, and from memory it was on the start/finish straight; and a guy I think called Rene at a club-type day a year or two ago, I understand on the back straight towards the hairpin.
At Manfeild there's been a couple: a sidecar rider or passenger about 1979 on Denny Hulme Straight going into Higgins; and John Marsh (aka Huggy Bear) from New Plymouth, in about the mid/late '80s, in the sweeper.
At Levels one of the Ramage brothers (I think it was Grant) was killed in the early '80s.
There was a death at the Gracefield races we ran in about '83 - Carey Larkin from New Plymouth.
These are only the ones I am aware of, there may well be more. I guess when you think of all the riding/racing hours done on the tracks, it's pretty good odds.
Being frustrated is disagreeable.
But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

I know the PR lady at Ruapuna and can pretty much get the track booked not just for bikes, but just for us queer lot. Cost would be about $80.00 for three hours and that's plenty of thrash time if the track is all to yourself.Aha! Let us all know when the next open day is at Ruapuna is will ya?

So could be a run down to Chch. Get on the track, then get on the gas.
Lots of purdy gurls doon chch too.
I'll get my people to talk to their people etc

Best you do that!
Question: $80 each for three hours or total? Good value either way.
