For those of you who mentioned they are considering the have a go class at Teretonga some info from what I have seen them do in the past. Sign in starts at 9am. The cost in the past has been a bargain $30 and you will probably get 4? 10 min sessions. Don't miss the riders briefing or you probably will not ride, newbies get an extra chat after the main riders briefing.
If you are timid the track is fast... with high speed corners but its wide enough not to cause hassles with faster riders passing.
If you want to check details the SMCC website is http://www.southlandmotorcycleclub.org.nz/
The contact person is John Beck and there appears to be heaps of extra events scheduled this weekend with...
South Island Cup - Round 2
SMCC Winter Series - Round 2
Sportzfotoz Junior Cup
so if you want to make sure there is a 'have a go' section might pay to check first.
I will be there anyway Motard #78 so say hi!

EDIT::: I see from the South Island Cup regulations that Scrutineering is at 8am and riders briefing at 9. So if you are expecting to have a go then phone them first to check that its included in this Sundays events.

If anybody does call to check why not post the answer for the others who may be considering the trip down. Should be good to watch anyway.

Yeah good ride. Those tight corners are always interesting at night when you have nfi whats round the corner because your headlight sucks. Was nice and warm with my new addition to bike too

Yeah my bike is all good for the weekend, just needed to get my touring tyres changed to my super sporty 208's.

I have emailed the guy from southland, he usually gets back to me pretty quick but not till after 830 im guessing.
