Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[Dooly]

Sounds like we all had a good weekend on the bikes.
Way it should be in this great weather.

Dale and I have an idea for a ride around the bay including a lunch & dinner stop, within a few weeks.
Will post up details when we sort it.
Hopefully a chance to get us all out as a group.

Wow! What a weekend at the Nats! We marshalled on point 7 so had an awesome view of the whole track, esp the hairpin and the sweeper.
A lot of argy bargy, elbow shoving going on in the superbikes, but the racing was so exciting. I can't believe the speeds those guys reach, and how close together they ride.
Sketchy racer was superb...really nice to see him give Glen Williams the learn. He had to work bloody hard for it tho.
Didn't catch up with many of you guys, but glad you enjoyed your day.

You're good at that arm waving stuff though eh?

[MSTRS:Me]

Yes, indeed. It was a mint weekend. Point 7 at the end of the back straight, with it's brilliant view of the esses and hairpin, is a great spot to spend an hour or 6...
Superbikes display scary amounts of tyre slippage and shock bounce (with front off the tarmac) when they lay on the power out of the hairpin.
Glenn Skatchell is definitely one to watch. How he managed to win on his F3 450 and then go straight back out on his 600 S.Sport...and still do well...I don't know.
And what about that young lady, Avalon, on the GP125. A new track record....

Sounds good.

I also have been thinking of a longer Sat or Sun tutu. The Weber loop.
Have you guys done it, or interested in it as an idea ?

Like the sound of a planned ride Tony. Post your info when you have a plan mate. We need to get out as a group. It seems work and play is dividing our riding group. Still as long as people are out and doing it

That sounds like a reeeeeeeeeaalllllllllll good idea.

nephue didnt fair to well int the 125 GP but road well :

Great to hear G. Good to have a bike to watch. Well done G and your Nephue

Will meet you there

Just seen the weather forecast for the weekend. Not looking good for bike racing. Good for farmers and ducks but not bikes. Will see what happens.

Sold blacky today.

Escorted the buyer from my house to BP Bayview via Puketapu about 5ish. Off to Tauranga he was
Tooted out to ya Warwick.
Pissed down whole way back home, torrential in some parts.
Wind blew my whisper kit out of my fucked helmet, lost forever down Swamp rd.
Have to buy a new helmet, had enough!!!

Did'nt mind the rain, keeps me on my toes and a chance to use my limited wet skills.
Ducati ran well in the wet.

Room for another bike in shed now.........
