Wicked wicked day!!! First time round Pukie, LOved it, so fast. was a bit shocked by how much more gas the little 400 used compared to Taupo.... Quite a few bins to. Roll on the 20th??

Fuckin' GREAT day. Highlights included not getting overtaken by any of the usual crowd, a great fight with a SuperDuke, putting a hole in TwoSmoker's fairing and someone timing me at 1:08 (cheers, Dan!). And thanks Tom for letting me have spin on your GSX-R750. I hate to say it, it being a Suzuki and all, but it was a damn good bike.

Oh, and Boomer: Fookin' neeeeow!

Indeedy.

Great to catch up with one and all. I met a few new names and faces and had the pleasure of finally meeting Mr Taylor. ( who was very busy tending to NZ's one and own.. *nice pitting Poos )

Started of slow, got gradually less slow and finally got round in a pedestrian fashion. The rear shock showed the weakness in the front forks; the rear is so stable and gets better the fast you go!! so.. maybe an easter present for me


Logan backin it in.. albeit in a straight line.
The slicing and dicing i saw ( some i chuckled at ..some i inhaled deeply )
the fun and games i had with a few familiar faces and by the end of the day i started to block my lines; preventing easy passage!.. so the buggers that got past either deserved it or did so in traffic


WHAT A BLAST ...

Nice work, Steve and the boys and girls at KiwiTrackdays!!!

Merry Christmas one and all and SUNNY SIDE UP !

[cowpoos]

My bike is my race bike! Goes all right for a chook chaser....well in the corners anyway

really??? wanna race??

I had a good day.

I didn't enjoy the first session much, the track felt dangerous and boring, 2 long straight-ish bits with a couple of corners in between which didn't feel like they flowed nicely like taupo, plus the lack of run-off at the corner on to the back straight and over the hill onto the front straight.

But as the day went on I got used to the track, figured out what line to take and started getting faster. The Jennian homes sweeper was interesting. I'd heard that the outside line was bumpy, I never actually tried it. The outside of the track looked like it had a fair bit of gravel and crap on it.
But if I had the balls I could probably have taken that turn at full speed on my bike. I don't know what would have happened if I'd drifted wide, I should have really tried taking a wider line at a slower speed first just to see what it was like.

By the end of the day I was getting my knee down on castrol corner and at the hairpin. The sport demons were looking pretty chewed up which I was pleased with.

The proximity of the armco at castrol corner wasn't bothering me so much, but the barriers on the right side of the track after the 2nd left hander after the hairpin, then the lack of run off on the turn over the hill kept me thinking "shit I really don't want to fall off here".



It was nice being able to ride to and from the track in an hour or so, but I much prefer the track at taupo to pukekohe.

Roll on Hampton Downs!
