March trackday at Manfeild?

[GSVR]

My day at the track lasted four laps...

Exhaust valve went to meet the piston. Ended up with some of it in the can.

Wow that must have happend less than ten minutes after I was talking to you before your session.

Looks like your repair bill will be less than Sallo's one. She had a bit of an off. She seems fine but the bike got a little roughed up.

That was another great day, will put up some pics later.

Hope you are ok Sallo.

Bugger! What happened Sallo? Hope you're OK.

[Kendog]

Shit, shit.

Just realised I left the camera bag in the pit stall (canon bag)

Did anyone grab it??

[Trudes]

Great day, thanks to CDMTC, awesome!!!
Hope all is fixable Sal!!

Once again CDMTC put on an exemplary track day. I managed more than one session this time too. Great day. Wobbly head of the day award must go to Fizzerman who put in some quick times. Man his head was wobblin' so much he looked possessed. MDs Beemer 800 surprised a few jap multis too. Good work.

[Fatjim]

Yeah great day. Thanks guys.


I've been asked to pass on apologies from a mate for passing the marshal in the last session. Apparently the marshal had a pillion on and was mistaken for "joe bloe". I said it was a poor excuse and have personally castigated the prat myself.

[MSTRS:Me]

Twas indeed great day. My tyres have some cred now....Nice to catch up with some of you 'orrible lot :-/

[Kinje]

Wow what a great day. Had so much fun in the medium group- and improved throughout the day.

Scraping pegs and boots on last session, yeah tyres got some cred now too.

And theres something quite satisfying passing bikes much bigger than yours

Yeah great day. Thanks for the company there and back Jimbo, bloody good idea having that beer near home.
I'm more than pleased with how the F800 performed. Those Conti Sport attacks did the job well too. Brakes were excellent blah blah, wheels went round and round blah blah and all that good stuff
Flame dragged me off in the sprints - go girl.

What dick head build that tyre wall cicane as you enter the pits! %$#@* Almost ruined my bril day plowing into them as I ended my last session for the day. Forgot the thing was there until too late. I guess I proved that it makes you slow down one way or the other. Atleast you bouce off them which must be better than hitting the road. It'll take more than a stack of Goodyears to bend a BMW.

Thankfully someone pointed out the forgotton camera and it's being reunited with its owner later this week. If it had been a 5D it may have been a different story! We also had a set of keys handed in but the owner noticed them pretty promptly.

Glad you guys enjoyed yourselves and nice to see only one crash - would have been better to end the day without any, but at least the ambulance wasn't required.

And good on Angie (who may or may not be a KB member) on the GPX250 (I think) for getting out there and having a go. She was a bit nervous but looked pretty good in a couple of shots I got of her. I saw her riding slowly around the pits and she was very good at the slow stuff, so I think she just needs to get a bit of confidence.

[Wasp]

great day everybody, thanks

[cowboyz]

My day ended early. I was keen as to get the 9 out on the track. Thought I would take it real easy in the slow group to start with to get a feel for the bike. Bike is so easy to ride I felt like I was crawling in the slow group so upgrade was in order. Unfortunately the muffler bracket that stopped me going on the ride for life broke AGAIN and that was my day done. Stayed to watch the big boys show how its done on one wheel. Awesome stuff MD and Fizzerman. Headed for home after that.

Surprised and shocked to hear Sallo binned. Hope you are ok. When you offered me your bike after mine was a no go I didn't want to ride it because I just dont like riding other peoples bikes. If I knew you were going to throw it down the track anyway...................

Got the lawns mowed.

Holy crap. That was my 1000th post. Hope someone enjoyed it.

All sorted. Good on ya Bruce, thanks

[Beemer]

All sorted. Good on ya Bruce, thanks

Yes, you're very lucky that someone told me a camera bag had been left behind in one of the pit bays. Bet it wouldn't have been there tomorrow. Shame there was no one from Wellington still up there and you have to make a special trip to collect it. But at least it's still intact and it hadn't been run over or anything.
