    DB is the new Porridge. Cause most of the mods must be sucking his cock ..... Or his giving them some oral help? How else can you explain it?

    I see.

    I originally thought they were repairing the corner near the hill - as that off camber turn scared me the most even at the slow speeds I do compared to you guys.

    Pukekohe...

    As I ride at Pukekohe often... very often... this is much better than having the Armco along side. Sure the replacement is essentially head on but it's a long way further down the track than where you would have hit the Armco as it was up until Gary's unfortunate accident(?).

    Once it has the tyres etc. in front of it it has to e better than it was and, from my point of view, it's still a far better/safer place to ride fast than on the open road...

    They are also going to put a chicane in on the run out of the hairpin to slow down people over the top of the hill.

    ok then, why not make the grass a sandtrap and then have a tyre wall 3ft high running halfway between the track and the 'new' wall, that'd provide a lot more stopping power than the grass thats there at the moment.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    they need tyres right around the whole track on the inside of the armco. causes so much damage when you hit them. im still rebuilding my bike. should be finished this week
