18th Nov - PMCC or AMCC

Haven't ridden Puke but Taupo is nothing to get excited about on a bigger bike and it's exactly what the 748 was not designed for. Slow speed 1st/2nd gear corners are not what a Ducati is all about and that's what most of it is.

Don't get too carried away there Tom, I am going to Puke (ZXR400)

At least then I have a good excuse when I get my arse handed to me in F3..."Oh nah it was not my fault, they were all 650's on Puke, I had no chance from the start"

And if I come mid pack.."Yeah I could have just gone to Taupo with all the other 400's and cleaned up but I wanted a challenge"

haha nice you will probably get ur ass handed to you at puke by the sv650s i would rather go to taupo where i know i will have a decent chance and fair competition. so that way i learn more even if i loose, i would know that i tried my best and im not worried about saveing face. So come to taupo i need some competition

Yeah they called everyone who got a top 3 finish in the VMCC. They told me I had to do 3 "formula" or "post classic" races first.

I think Taupo is a $hite track myself but not quite as $hite as Puke. AFAIK it's just the new bit of track they're doing at Taupo with the 2 straightish bits and the left hand sweeper. I'm concentrating on the 400 for the time being (I need to get the learn from Tom

) and thus not bothering with Puke. Will be pootling around on the 748r till I get used to it and until I have some decent spares for it. My CBR doesn't have the top speed of the VFR's and especially ZXR's so Puke is a waste of time for moi.
