Good luck KBers, have a safe ride, hope the weather gets better for you.

What's the word from the battle field?

Are you guys still thawing out or has frostbite set in permanantly?

Let's here all the gosip and hopefully someone remembered the digicam.

Your public awaits.

I did meet up with a guy with a phone camera so there will be some shots of

a Mad Max impersonator/maybe the real guy doing a burnout on his rim. the video (see it to beleive it) will be on www.hoons.com at some point later in the year when the site is running.
a CBR 900 with both tyres/rims rooted after hitting potholes from taumaranui
maybe pics of the 10m wide bonfire?
hopefully pics of the guy on a GSXR 750 doing a hill climb with a knobbly tyre and a pissed guy trying to spray everyone with mud from his old moto guzzi.

but sadly no pics of the ZX-12R's number plate cut clean in half by the steel belts from the tyre when it exploded on the burnout pad!!

awesome time... saturday morning was THE time to ride down: no rain, clear roads, not too cold and had sweet ride back in the sun until 20k out of matamata but it was only patchy squalls.

Missed catching you Coldkiwi... Saw your bike (I guess it was your ZX6R) Never mind, some other time

What was the big bang late at night? - I was up in the trees at the time. Gotta find me one

Fuckin loud, wasnt it? Think it may have been an LPG bottle - but Im only guessin..Guys were laying Primus cylinders in the drums earlier on........

Yeah, the guys beside us were putting butane cylinders in their fire-very cool-until one of them came and stuck a suspicious wrapped object in our fire and then fucked off (claiming it was a spud).
Still, it didn't blow up so that was a save. specially considering the petrol station we had going-20l unleaded,10l race gas and a bottle of nitromethane. all to keep the A100's performing all weekend.

if it was green/white, turned up saturday mid arvo and looked like a pack horse with all the gear I brought down and was up in the trees by the old hill climb site, then yeah, that was mine!

were you near the bloke with the Blue RSV who was having a backfiring contest with someone about 11pm on saturday?

**Pickle** · 9th September 2003, 19:59

Yea CK That was us up in the trees camped next to the guy with the GSXR valve bouncing with headers , collector glowing red & flames & other shit coming out the exhaust. Very Impressive, next year can I borrow some ones bike please?
