How about a quiet run on your ZXR on the Tuesday afternoon before that?Originally Posted by Mikkel
I hope my plans for a little first out on the 8th of December is going to come through. I met this bloke at the bike shop who kinda promised me that he'd take me out there and give me one of his bikes to take onto the track
Rest In Peace
Cheers mate...Yes, I can't wait!Good on ya V. I hope you'll have a lot of fun
...but I'm sure you will!

If yours happen, please let me know how it went. It would be a good heads up, as we generally seem to think the same way.

Was tempted to say "suck it up big girl" but that could be miscontrued, I'm afraid.
Get well soon

*te he...don't you love that kind of female change of direction on the argument? Always thought that was hilarious...*
anyways, make sure to take lots of pics on the day. 007XY will actually be a bystander this time, and take some photos for me. Also mentioned he's looking for a video camera
Hope I don't feel so self conscious that I ass off in the process...

I have done about 20 or so track days in my time and it is the most fun you'll have on a bike in my opinion, so here's my 2 cents worth
If you are reasonably confident on the road and have been riding a while don't go in the slow group start in the medium, if you are quite new to it all then go for the slow.
There will always be people faster and slower than you. Know your pace and just try to build on it in your own time. You will find out how much you can really brake, how quick you can actually corner and get on the gas it's a great learning experience but again you need to do it at your pace.
Following peoples lines these days I find can work but it has to feel right for you. People and bikes ride differently so what works for one doesn't mean it's going to work for you.
Above all have fun and remember it's a great day when you and the bike come home

Not me, it's open practice every Tuesday (and Friday?) at hoonapuna. Once the tech year has finished, we'll be heading out there (because of one of the other guys, I work but I've been given an unlimited supply of Tuesdays offI'd love that!)

RIDE FOR THE CONDITIONS WHEN THEY CHANGE INCREASE YOUR SPEED
Rest In Peace
Awesome, thanks Taz.

As far as the first lap is concerned, I am quite confident on the road, but will still probably start in the beginners group, just to get a feel for the track. I am very aware that I am not at all that confident in very tight corners, so will be taking it very easy to start with...
And yes, I will stick to my pace...no ego here, that would just be stupid.
Rest In Peace
Pete...I hate to break to you, but the 70's are well and truly gone!

I'd PM you if I could. Since I feel bad about hi-jacking the thread. I just have to ask though - and it may be relevant for V as well.Not me, it's open practice every Tuesday (and Friday?) at hoonapuna.

What do I need to bring, gear wise?
What do I need to do to my bike to allow it on the track?
How do I sign up?
Is it open all day?

It's not a track day, it's just a day at the track, so very relaxed.
- You'll only need a helmet, but a smart man wears leathers/gloves/boots as well
- You don't need to do anything to the bike
- Sign up when you get there... give the man your money and sign the waiver
- Open all day afaik
