    Yeah, it was live on sunday night and monday morning. Not too bad races.

    Apparantly Vermeulen got disqualified from the second race after coming 2nd. Something about his tilt switch, that cuts off the engine when he crashes not working. Sucks to be him, did really well aswell.

    Mate, that is RANK. Doesn't help his cause at all. Im hoping for a win for him at the next one - he won there last year on the 600 and apparently loves the track.

    I'm dead jealous, Marty, if this thread implies that you've got the day off and can follow up watching the superbikes with a blast round the countryside, in the sunshine, while we're all stuck at work!

    They didn't care a while back when Bayliss' bike did that, but ah that was a Ducati in a series run by Italians.

    well i went into hamilton m/cycles earlier this week to take a duke 900ss and 750ss (both with the under seat pipes) for a ride - after being ignored for 10 minutes while the sales dude was talking on the phone about the upcoming weekend i was told 'you can only take them if you are serious about buying'

    well until then i was serious. walked out, with my $ in my pocket.

    and i've ridden everything 1000cc and up at road and sport and boyds (except for a v-rod - would it be worth taking one for a blast??)

    If you want the coolest cruiser available today, YES! Even just for a hoon.

    How about you jump on a plane, get down to Wellington and I promise you, any bike shop here will be happy to offer outstanding service.
