It took me a long time pondering on what I should do about me tyre so I decided it wasnt worth it I would get a new tyre, but sorry Steve I got it from Hastings Honda so I will have to have a scub in session on the way up.

Twas a great day at the track.
Session one and two were just disasters for me. No I didn’t drop it but I was so slow and out of practice I nearly dropped down a group. It just didn’t happen. Mary Mooo talked me in to going out and giving it another go. She was right and the ride got better and better. By the end of the last session I was feeling really good and pleased I had done the day. As SP said, I left it too long to pick up and run with the track, after my last bin, on the track.

Not everyone had such a good day and some bikes got dropped and some have go faster stripes on them but as I know that happens from time to time and the track is the best place to get them. I did see some really great riding today. Makes me appreciate how good so many people are on these bikes. Well done you lot.

Sounds like we have some interest in the South Island trip so I will post info in the next few weeks. In short we are looking at 11 days down south in 2010. Starting on or around the 7th Jan. Will keep you posted.

Thanks every one for a great day. I love the track. Time for sleep…………………..

What an awesome day it was yesterday. I finally started to relax and enjoy myself. Sorry about the Feng Shui, it appears it messed up someone's riding a little

Thanks again Mary moo for feeding us and helping me remove all the tape and but the mirrors back on and then tape it up again. Also to Marty, you guys have an awesome son there. Roberty dog, next time you bake a cake, you wanna make it Banana with Lemon icing so I can at least try it?

I hope the fallen rider is feeling ok. Speights_bud, I'm sure that my wets will come in handy for my ride home today.

Triumph day today a disaster, pissing down, and the guys on the track were real brave, but looked to be only going at about 30%, and a few motards were running rings around them.
Left at 11 this morn, and it hosed down half way home too, torrential rain.

First time at a trackday yesterday, good turnout by HB KB, and even tho I did'nt ride, enjoyed it immensely, learnt a lot by watching, can't wait till I get out there very soon.
We have a good crew here in the bay, small in numbers, but good none the less.

Anybody for a ride this arvo...?

**BigG** · 18th January 2009, 15:30

Well I just got and did I enjoy the ride yesterday was having so much fun in the slow group it wasnt that slow when you got guys burning up them knee sliders around you. When we got back to the camp site we took out the X up on da bike and that seemed to stop the knocking I was getting, but on the ride back it started knocking again, needs further investigation but it aint the motor thank goodness, wasnt a good day for the Yamahas eh! The photo shows why Steve was a bit out of touch on the track but not off it.

Mary Mooo is not amused. Hahahahaha

It is true G. She distracts me all the time. I must have been over her by the third session cos I got focused and it all came together. The track that is…….

The only thing that I would trade a bike for. Mind you she can cook so that helps
