Glad to hear you're getting the bike sorted SD. Will this be your 1st track day?

My bike started making a rattly noise last week - currently in at Colemans and they suspect but won't confirm (yet) a problem on the crankshaft. They think it will be off the road for a week.

I have been SO looking forward to getting this bike on the track!!!! Had a great run on the weekend and though I enjoyed it the first time I rode it, it's so much better now...... This is SO disappointing!!

So, if anyone wants my place for Friday, it's available.....

Kiwifruit: If someone takes my place, could you put my payment towards the next trackday?

Aww no!!!

thats gutting man.... u wana make sure its a major before you pull out completely.

Regarding transfering your payment to the next trackday: give Peter an email on ride@motott.co.nz explaining what has happened, im sure it wont be a problem to simply put you in the paid collumn for the next trackday.

Remain optimistic, it might not be a major

EDIT: would colemans prehaps lend you a bike for the time yours is getting repaired?
a 750k6 or something they have lying around....

He is a Firewall specialist. And my long suffering friend/race mechanic. We have unfinished business, one day I'll finish my original 1st newbie post and people will understand a little more what I mean by unfinished business...
