    Emergency braking practice locations

    Well now that uni is on holiday and the weather is reaaly crap I want do what any biker wants to do and go for a bike.

    Im looking to practise some 100km/h emergency stops and prefereably not on a urban road so i don't kill any little girlies or get stung by the coppas but equally id prefer not to get arse raped by a 4x4 when they come across me stopped on a 100km/h rd.

    Anyone know any carparks or similar that would have enough room for the GN to get 100 and 0 again in the wet, yeah i know maybe a carparks not quite big enough for the GN

    Oh btw i live in auckland out east (just a bit past remuera yea i know way out west) but an excuse to go a bit further wouldnt be half bad either

    Thanks to anyone who can give me some locations

    Cheers

    the best carpark around auckland i know about is opposite western springs zoo enterance. right by museum. I think it's schools carpark or something like that.

    flat, reasonably remote, fresh nice and even seal, no kurbs/etc - it's one big flat piece (perfect for learning to drift your cage )

    it's maybe not the biggest i know of but it is definitely THE biggest, flat, reasonably level wihout any obstacles carpark i know of.

    getting GN to 100km/h might be a bit tight there tho... i dunno... never ridded GN....

    it's like next ot my house, if anybody wants to go and check it out I'm keen to come along for a burnout

    it's usually full durning the day but usually empty aftrt 7, 8 pm.

    EDIT: right off that carpark there is big long straight and on the other side there is a very long and steep hill
    EDIT2: I think it's by Western Springs College and Pasadena Intermidiate.
