Nicksta's VMCC round 5

[Nicksta]

Awesome work out there girl. You were looking good apart from when the bike was laying on its side in the gravel. was great to see you give us the thumbs up though. Keep up the god work.

thanks dude! Same to you! your flying
I know how much i worried when i saw people i knew off their bikes... figured a thumbs up would let you guys know i was fine....
nursing some sick looking bruises and driving stick with my fingertips but i'll be back out at taupo... if Aria can ride with a broken arm, i can handle my silly little damages....

Nicky, thanks for the offer. That's very sporting of you and all considering you know I'll thrash you :-)

hey, you know i'm a sporting kinda gal who thrashed who last time? and who'se home track are we going to in 2 weeks? lol

hahaha judging by my body, it may pay to ignore any riding tips frpm me

dude... your tips have helped me a lot, from my first session on Taupo almost a year ago.... I really appreciate all your help, support, encouragement and wisdom!

Methinks it was Kapiti Ken!

Actually I didn't but I know now. I wouldn't mind a shot of tweety though. Been repeatedly told that Honda made the wee VFR's with very nice handling

who thrashed who last time?

I still beat you twice that weekend on my "cough" air cooled CBR400 and I'm not going to let you live that down.

and who'se home track are we going to in 2 weeks? lol

Yeah...I'm quite aware that I'm $hite at Taupo thanks very much. Hopefully this time I'll manage more than 7 corners before binning her.

Took the CBR for a quick illegal spin today. Seems to be OK and I don't think I've caused any lasting damage but then again I wasn't caning her.. The braking stability problems have me completely stumped. I'll try and annoy some of the folk who know about suspenders and head bearings and that sort of thing next time I'm trackside.

Tweety handles pretty good... she manages to corner pretty good even with me piloting her!

I beat you twice that weekend too dude! so i think it was a draw.... (plus dont i get a bonus for crashing and coming out next race?)

are you going to count the corners you make it around? i'm so looking forward to Taupo, i cant think of the right words to express just follow me and you should be fine

Only if I get a bonus for motocrossing at >100K's a couple of times in one race.

Hopefully not I'm gonna take it a bit easier this time. If I struggle to hang on to your exhaust then I'll just back off a little rather than pushing it.

On the bright side. Took the ceebeerar to Pukekohe (by Gawd that is one boring track, especially on a 400) yesterday. Mate of mine helped me (ok, he basically did it) replace the rear shock with one "acquired" from Econohonda. Old shock was umm....fucked. Seals gone on it totally and even the spring was shot. New one is worn but miles better so I'm happy. Seems to have jacked the rear up a wee bit too (hard to tell at that track but I think it may have fixed the slow steering). Braking stability returned but I won't push it for a few races. Coolant problem fixed too (if it was gonna blow then Puke's long straights would have done it), ickle leak whilst it warmed up but seems to be sealing once pressurised. Fuel starvation (I believe) towards end of both straights at Puke so might increase float heights next service (maybe this year lol). Shouldn't affect it at any of the other track though (I hope).

I reckon there's gonna be a lot more entries at Taupo so hopefully some new 400's to play with.

Just wait till next year when Nicki is on the CANBRACE 400, then you wont have an excuse for anything. It will be like production racing with matching bikes hehehe Remember that CBR = Can Brace Racing
Great to hear your shock is going to behave better as your bike was lookin real wobbly last time i watched you.
Cheers Paul.
