[wkid_one]

A chance to go balls to the wall around the track with only 8-10 others bikes on the track......what rock have you been hiding under - Spankme posted it on the front page of the site!!!

Poor boy......I even offered you a ride on the VTR!  Oh well......

i hate life now

but tracktime on this sat? ill b there, will you?
how many rides did u all get?

The Japanese police have got a few nasty tricks up their sleeves like they used to fire a net out of a flare gun. Duck net thing and they only did it to the last rider so as to minimise the fatalities to the following banshees. But they had progressed to a thing called MAD Motorcycle Arresting Device. This consists of a pad that is pulled away by the front wheel then it uncovers a sticky pad that sticks to the back wheel and attached to that is a lanyard string then rope that wraps around the rear sprocket and gradually brings the bike to a controlled stop.

nice!

I did 4 20 minute sessions......wicked!  Fecked my renners tho!!

I won't be at tracktime, a little steep in price after the open day only being $80!  I am going for a blast around the Coromandel!!

In the UK they are trailing GPS chips in vehicles.  As the chip is constantly monitored they can measure you distance and time travelled, and hence your speed, if you go over the speed limit at any point in your journey - a tickets comes to you in the mail!!!!  Wouldn't that just kill motorcycling if it caught on.......

That really would be like 1984 gone mad. I'm not normally to reactive but if they proposed that i could well be down in Wellington baring my cheeks to the nazi that proposes it!!

Lets hope NZ stays a nice third world backwater 40 years behind in police technology (well, certainly in this dept)

I agree it sounds horrific but let's not forget today's date...

[wkid_one]

Nah - it is true

[MikeL]

GPS tracking - sure (we're bound to get it sooner or later). The Japanese motorcycle arresting device, on the other hand....:bigthumb:

[Coldkiwi]

yes yes, alright... i'm an arse... lets move on!!!

 

[wkid_one]

Cold - what does your employer pay you for again??  I have an excuse to be on here as I am 'between jobs'???

[Kwaka-Kid]

hahah cold. :P

i work, then work and work and work

TODAY I SPENT HEAPS ON NEW GEAR!

New Helmet, New Diadora Boots (with racing teflon rub things), new cheap thin gloves

all for scrutineering for racing, because apparently they dont like cracked/grazed badly helmets with bad visors? pfft, ill show them :P

[Coldkiwi]

you're a strange one kwaka! mint boots and then paper thin gloves??

I want the thickest, toughest bastards possible (not the cheapest) that don't restrict my movement i.e armoured on all fingers, knuckles, back of hands, palms, sides of hands (amazing the injuries you can get crashing at 90 kph and the ensuing wishlist!)

I reckon you need to crash more. But then, so do you, so it's not worth us worrying about right?

Seriously though, gloves are an important part of the gear and I reckon they're worth spending some $$ on. I'm using some mid range teknic chicane gloves for summer and I think they're retailing at various stores for around $90 now.
