There was someone on the last corner taking photos, I'd like to see theirs..

Yeah I wouldn't mind either if anyone had some pics of me.

I forgot to take any pics of my new paint job and now I've put my bike back to road trim so can't. It's pretty hard to miss. Yellow with purple writing and a purple arrow saying "This side up"

Well it worked anyway. Everytime I forgot which way up to ride the thing I just had to look down

. It turned out a lot better than I expected and I didn't know what else to put.

Pretty sure that was "urbanmagpie" taking shots at the corner of sweeper onto front straight (in the afternoon sessions). Has anyone else ordered photos from "urbanmagpie"? I got some photos off them from the February trackday and Gunner got a couple of A4's off them on Sunday (really neat that they were able to download and print on the spot - cost us $5 for 6x4 and $25 for A4). We are impressed with their work and appreciate the service that they offer - I think we should all support them if possible. I suspect they will have lots more photos than are currently in their gallery: http://www.urbanmagpie.co.nz/gallery/catid,10/ at the moment so I suggest you email them a description of whoever the rider/bike was and ask if they can find them.

Hey Malcolm, my tyres were pretty good out there with the settings you did for me, so thanks, but where did you get your little pump thingy from, that thing is magic (and small!!).

Just to make this quite clear in case anyone gets the wrong idea......... what we are talking about here is a tyre "foot" pump with a gauge on it. I got it from Repco (sorry can't remember the brand but is made in England) and it was around $60 - well worth the money because I have found the gauge to be pretty accurate (the ones you get on the cheap models are a waste of space).

)and without being told I would've carried on and possibly lost control!My confidence has been severely knocked after my crash but I did it!!!!BIG thankyou to all who gave me the courage to carry on..

facing your fear & working through it can be one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself ... onya hon for getting back out there & to see the grin from ear to ear when it went great was sure worth it

& the courage was all yours ... awesome learning experience huh
