Yeah, turned out to be a really good ride. Impressive watching Tristan in the carpark. It was nice to ride with some equally powered bikes. We must do it agian sometime!

How bout posting some of the pics up?

No pictures on the ride, didn't have my camera with me. Some of the best pictures of the "after-ride" sessions are here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/gallery/t....php?album=346

Was awesome to have a good fast ride again... hadn't been to the edge of the tyre for a little while. Some parts of it were wet - and had the bike slip sideways once, real good. Also had it kick out on me once very fast as well, when overtaking a car, hard on gas, and I hit a puddle or something.

Mostly though, the weather was fantastic, especially when you consider it was raining on and off all day.

edit: I can get the front wheel of the 7 off the ground.... just, I wasn't exactly expecting it, when trying a fast start for dragging. Boy, that front wheel came up fast and high (Rayza said he found it amusing... I didn't really

). I stuck with fast normal starts after that (no high revs when dumping the clutch...)
