Re today @ Puke

[That Guy]

Hey guys, I was there too with Curious (team RGV?) - my first track outing for yonks. I only managed 1.20 and tried not get in the way of some seriously fast dudes (1.05!!) if nothing else its the best seat in the house to see how it's meant to be done.

Anyway there were three RGVs including mine putting around learning the basics - so don't be scared if you want to have a go - you won't be worse than us! The fast guys are so fast you don't get the chance to get in their way - just hold your line so they know what you're up to and prepare to be impressed as the ride round the outside, knee/pegs scraping etc.

Cool.

Yeah I couldn't believe it. I'm so use to being the solitary 2 stroke and now that I've upgraded to a ZXR400, four RGV250s decide to show up on the same day!!!
Good stuff tho, I can do 1:15s on my RGV and that is pretty much full throttle everywhere except braking for turn 2/3 and the hairpin. Good corner speed on jennian and turn 9/10 is the secret to good times.

Saturday was my first time on the track with the ZXR400. Main objective was to sort a good suspension settting as I have shitty cheap tyres on at the mo. Riding like a nana and short shifting 1K short I still got down to 1:17s without even getting my knee down. The suspension doesn't instill the same level of faith that my RGV did so its going to take me a bit more practice to work up my confidence.

However this week I'm replacing the fork seals/oil, rekitting the front calipers, throwing on some braided hoses (thanks Motoracer!!) and slapping on a set of super corsas so should be all good for this weekend!

Hang on a mo--OYYY MR -are those like the braided lines Ive been waiting for for the last month?? --The ones ya forgot when ya dropped my zxr off??

[Hoon]

Nah nah these are different ones....Didn't MR tell you, some dodgy looking maori stole your ones outta the back of his van!!

Hard luck dude!

[FROSTY:Me]

Thats ok dude--I've traced my braided lines to some maori boy racing a zxr400. Its all good cos if I cant beat him in the first race Ill just hafta repo my braided lines.
Winning by fair means or foul is still winning.
-shit first ya steal a slick then my braided lines -
Still spose its a fair swap--in exchange Ill steall all ya lines at the track

Did Carey Brier have his ZX10 out there racing? Then hopefully he'll have it at Manfeild on the 24th - I can't wait to see some out on the track. Was Glenn Williams there on his too?
