You comparing my riding abilities to yours and Sugilite's - a couple of racers?? WOW - I'm stoked!!!!

No comparison whatsoever! Owning the lastest, greatest, fandangled machinery does NOT give you riding ability!

[Deano]

It wasn't me on the Repsol !!

[Fatjim]

It never is.

You sure?? Cos that's what the salesman told me..........

Damn... wait till I buy a Hayabusa - then I'll be faster than you


...... eh, just to calm a little indian's curiosity - what were your lap times around the full 3.5K Taupo track??
I did it in 3 minutes, fifty one seconds....

[justsomeguy]

It wasn't me on the Repsol !!

You sure?? Don't lie now.....I could swear on my dairy reciept book it was you.

[Fatjim]

Sorry, can't resist.

Q. Why don't Indians make good racers.

A. Cause every time they get to a corner they open a dairy.

Lap times are irrelevant. I'd just like you to be aware of how dangerous riding like you did that day really is. You're not only risking your own life and safety but the people you are overtaking aswell. If you rode like that in an actual race, you'd be blackflagged pretty quick....so why do it on the road?

Dammit it Fatarse..... I'm fookin pissed off at you posting that...... and me sitting here at work trawling the damn net and not being able to come up with a better Indian joke.........

Can someone help out puleeessseee???????

[justsomeguy]

I know......blackflagged and blacklisted too.....funnily enough these were BlackBuell's words..... very black scenario huh.....

The thrill is visceral...... I ride for kicks, plain and simple.... hence the break for a while to go get my kicks somewhere else, before I really run out of luck.... sky diving or maybe competitive kick boxing ..... then wallet depending a return to bikes later......got 50 years left to figure it out....damn.... must hurry.

Shit.... are we in PD yet?? I better start talking bout cages then, cos I seem to be in a shit stirring mood.....

[ajturbo]

Have you ever seen me ride dangerously? I'd like to know if you have.?

shit matey.. i would lucky just to see ya in the distance... or when you stop and wait for me.... if i am even that lucky hahahah

[boomer]

Did you just try to crack a funny?

If there were any passing manouvres going on that people were concerned about, did ANY OF YOU bother to tell the organisers? They have a hard enough job keeping track of all of you during the day without standing on every corner watching to make sure people obey the rules.

I've been a member of this club since 1999 and EVERYONE gets told the rules at the riders' briefing. If complaints ARE passed on to the organisers, they ARE acted on and anyone they deem to be riding in an unsafe manner is asked to leave - and trust me, it DOES happen.

I find it hard to believe that you were actually passed in an unsafe manner on the inside during the slow laps, in fact I am more of the opinion that you were slow going into a corner and someone got there before you. Would you rather they ran up your arse? I've been out in the slow laps myself and I have been passed on both the left and the right. You may have been in the wrong position - too far to the left or right for a particular corner - and someone who was riding a bit faster than you had to alter their position to ride through that corner. There is no rule against overtaking in any of the laps - you are just not allowed to overtake the leader.

If you believe you have a valid complaint, pass it on to the club president. But I would refrain from making smart comments about the guy who crashed as he happens to be one of our members. And thanks for alerting us that you are riding a CBR 600 without a valid licence, I'll be watching out for you around Levin, as will - no doubt - all the cops who read this forum!

No one bothered to complain about hte guy on the repsol who binned it who was carving up in the slower group, did i mention he crashed? A member of your precious club? pass this onto him. HAHA SHOULD OF KNOWEN BETTER COCK

an pass this one onto yourself, then slap yourself to for being a stupid woman.

You WERENT AT THE TRACK DAY,
you did not hear what was said at riders briefing,
you did not see anything at all of the slow group that day
your in no position to comment.
iwas there and not riding, was watching, with eyes....
they saw a few people being passed up the inside.
so shut the fuck up.
no one cares if your old an been i nthe club since the 60s. or if your a really nice person when your not bitching.
how do you no sally rode her bike up there? she didnt. someone took it up there for her as its not in road trim at the moment. and she doesnt have the right licence.
make up your mind, are you speaking on behalf of your club or just prattling your own shit, we both know its your own shit so dont wank on about being part of the club. if your "club president" ever gets on here and does reply im sure it wont read anything like what yours does. bet ya a box of beers to be drunk before the next track day.

Right, let me clarify a few things - NO, I wasn't at our track day on this occasion because I had a prior engagement. Usually you are allowed to overtake in any of the sessions - you are just NOT allowed to overtake the person leading each session, who is always wearing a reflective safety vest. Obviously this year it was decided that there would be no overtaking in the slow laps, which is fine, and as people have stated here, it WAS mentioned at the riders' briefing. Therefore, as everyone in the slow laps was aware of that rule, you can be damned sure that if any of you who say you were overtaken had bothered to bring this to the attention of the organisers (it's not like you had to identify every rider who overtook you), this rule would have been mentioned again at the start of the next session and people would have been keeping an eye out for anyone breaking the rule. The fact that NOT ONE of you bothered to mention this means you forfeit the right to complain about it later. Rest assured, any offenders would have been left in no doubt that they would be asked to leave if they had not obeyed the rules. It's not just YOUR arses on the line at these track days, it's ours too.

And with regards to Sallo's comment about why have the "front end charlie" going at a much faster pace than the rest of the riders and why didn't he fuck off into a faster class, I am assuming she means the CDMTCI member leading the laps? If so, it is his job to LEAD the laps, so of course he will be going faster than the rest of the riders, who are then able to go at any pace they feel comfortable with, as long as they don't pass HIM. The laps are usually led at not much more than the open road limit to allow novices to go a little faster than they can on the road. If he led them at 100kph or less, he would end up with a huge bunch of riders right on his tail, all complaining that they thought the whole point of a track day was to go a bit faster and have a bit of a play on a race track.

If there were that many people overtaking in the slow laps when they had been told not to, then this is an issue that definitely should have been raised with the organisers ON THE DAY. I would place money on this being stressed and monitored closely at subsequent track days.

And thank you to all of you who have supported my stance on this matter. As a club, we try our best to host events like this and they have always been well patronised and enjoyable for riders. We go to great lengths to ensure we have marshalls, ambulance staff, crash rescue, etc and it does cost a lot to do it right. If it rains on the day and hardly anyone turns up, we would have to wear the loss.

But I cannot stress strongly enough that we are unable to act on any complaints of dangerous or stupid behaviour AFTER the event. If these two (and any others who were similarly pissed off) had raised their concerns with ANY of our club members ON THE DAY, they would have been taken seriously and dealt with. We all know what it's like to be a scared learner and we want to encourage people to increase their skills, not put them off returning. Maybe Sallo could bring her mum along to the next track day so she could speak up on her behalf if there are any problems.

oh so you werent there, hmmmmmmmmm
your speaking in we terms again, are you talking on behalf of the club and calling sally an kendog liars, insulting them, surely not speaking on behalf of the club, going a bit over the limit, have a sherry with dinner?
lets say someone rapes you. you dont mention it for a few days. does that mean you lose the right to complain? ahhh NO! etreme case butsame thing.
the fact that no one mentioned it doesnt mean you cant complain, and i dont think its complaining, people were sharing there experiences of the day.
mine was mint.
i got drunk in the sun an smoked ciggies watching bikes go rrrrrrrrrrrrrm

if you read the comments on the front end charlie shit, it was the idea is flawed. front end charlie laps people, he goes around them quite nicely, round the outside or powers away down the straights, but every other person behind them doesnt pass as carefully, dives up the inside at end of pit straight every slow group session, and naturally there passing all the slower people. get it??? wanabe racers in the slow group getting there first kills..... get it????/
maybe you could bring your mum to the next track day to watch you be a bitch! oh no shes probably been underground for the last fifty years so its not an option....

Excuse me, but it seems I am not the only one who very much doubts the accuracy of Sallo's recollection of events, and no matter what, making smart arsed comments about people who crash, no matter who they are, is pathetic.

Perhaps Sallo (is it missing the 'w'?), seeing as she apparently lives in Levin, would like to join the CDMTCI and put in the hard yards required to run an event like this. Or perhaps she would rather come here and whinge rather than taking her concerns up with the organisers, ON THE DAY. It's a bit pointless coming on a forum like this, days after the event, and moaning that someone did something wrong. If she had approached any of the club members ON THE DAY and raised her concerns, they could have been addressed.

And, this is MY personal opinion only, and not that of the club, but I think she's full of shit.

ill make a smart arse comment about repsol boy (whos a MEMBER!!!!) who should know better, going out in slower group to get some extra laps, riding like a cock. bound to happen, im just gald he didnt take a newb out with him. was possibly the best looking bike there an then he goes an biffs it down the road. dumbarse.

fuk joining a club, you'd have to put up with cunts like you, all in the name of helping. id rather help myself, if ya know what i mean. and ill do all the nagging an whinging i want. dont stop til ya get what you want.

anywho see you on the 3rd/4th, if you can make it to your own clubs track day and dont forget my beer.

[Kendog]

Mikey, you have hit the nail on the head. Well said.

Didn't catch up with you on Saturday, hope to see ya at the next one.
