    I think Mitch was pushing a bit too hard and came unstuck in the straw.

    Hi Fran, Thanks for that, you certainly got quite a selection there, thanks for sharing them here.

    Just got past Chris Ellie for 3rd in F1 and my lanyard tether switch came undone on the start finish straight hence the park-up at the bales

    Thanks for reminding me

    Yep. Red Ducati Monster, Red/Black/White Spyke leathers, grey helmet. I only did the first round though because the front disc warped as it cooled and I ended up with zero brakes.

    And I only got there as they were running the last race of the 1st round.

    Don't they know we expect them to start late not early.

    Another bucket meet totally dominated by mighty MotoFXRs, the podium was filled with FXR150 riders. This is the bucket of the future

    I really need a KB tshirt...

    Holidaying in sunny Nelson getting sick and tired of listening to the young neices saying "I'm bored...I'm getting sand between my toes...I'm all beached out..." I was thrilled to hear about the street races! Cruised along and thoroughly enjoyed the day. I tried looking for other KBers but it's kinda difficult to pick them out unless they're wearing a KB tshirt...

    I saw NordieBoy across the track but he disappeared before managing to cross the track...I really need to get myself a KB shirt, then others can spot me...!!!

    Enjoy the holidays people...

    Also saw lots of signs for the motocross but doesn't say where...too late anyway, back home now for a rest... Does anyone else find it hard work holidaying??

    All they need to do is open up the inside of Rogers St (like it used to be) and it'd be sweet.
    I talked to a couple of the organisers today. I don't want to quote what they said on here as I don't want to miss-quote them, but it turns out there are very good and well considered reasons for closing off Rogers Street, and for running the track clockwise. The reasons are many, and fairly complex, (hence I don't want to risk getting it all backwards on here), and I can see why they do what they do, and I now fully agree with it.
