    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - doctor gave me all clear to ride this week........well, not that I was entirely following his advice anyway - but that's a different story. 

    Apparently, I had done an extremely good job of fucking shoulder in a royal way - he was telling me - but all good now.  I can now start physio and get that much closer to racing.  WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    KK it's a look you recognise with experience, or a vivid imagination. Anyhow why let truth get in the way of a perfectly good write up?

    Yep had a great day, prob one of the best track days I've had and clocked up some serious K's.  Beautiful weather, started wet but from the end of the 2nd session on was bone dry.  Also only 2 classes there so it was bikes/cars/bikes/cars all day long.  Gary left us out there extra long too close to 20 laps which had lots of us shagged out and running out of gas.  My legs are super sore now, I got a sore right arm and even my clutch fingers are complaining!!!

    KK improved steadily and went from "easy meat" to "barely keeping up with" by the end of the day (you line theiving bastard you!!

    Hopefully it'll be dry for Sundays race and if I can equal my best of 1m15s I'll be happy!  However if it rains I'll suck again!

    Hey Guys,  AWESOME days racing to say the least and my dad was there for the first time which made it even better for me.  I Qualified 16th with a 1:16.  First race i finished 11th/28 running a 1:14.43, they red flagged it and decleared it @ 3-4 laps because Leo right infront of me coming onto the front straight looked to get wobbly and cartwheeled her bike (i literally went by as it flipped thru the air, pissing my pants..not laughing.).  Second race i said i would cool down a bit a try regain some sort of smoothness, unfortunatly in some ways i got a piss poor start (think i bogged it down in 1st) but i managed to have some fun dicing with greg on his GSXR, oh and i did slow down as i ran a 1:15.51 but i must say i enjoyed the race ALOT more as i let the pressure off and just made it smooth... The third race definatly proved this worked as i had an average start and finished 12th, just going around the outside of mark robinson on the last corner (coming onto front straight) and beat him by around .17 of a sec to the finish line (and damn those 125's hold corner speed!)  oh and that one i ran a Fucking amazing (for me!!) 1:13.38.   I really couldnt believe it, loved the third race, felt nowhere near as stressed as the first race and everything fell into place and ran smooth.

    All in all a great days racing, i can honestly say its been the best yet but i have a few bike setup things to attend to "Fluffy Cat" is going to "redo" all my suspension, apparently its way too soft, hence the constant scrapeing of everything and really kinda wobbly feeling coming onto the front straight.  Also must say Mitch did great in her races, as did craig (for someone who hates pukekohe)-oh and greg that friggin funny welshmen.  Si i didnt get to see you during the racing which was unfortunate but im sure there is reason for this and everything is going to fall into place sometime in the near future

    KK, you are doing fantastic and will be just getting better and better. The only way you are likely to see me is if you improve another few seconds and start lapping me I had a good day, if slow but I've plenty of time before the next round to work on me and my corner speed.

    RU going to tracktime on 21st Dec?

    Yes on Sunday KK went from the "barely keeping up with" dude to "pisses off into the distance"!!  1m13.38 is very impressive, you seemed to grab another second with each race!

    My best of the day was a 1m16.7 and that was with Mitch spooking me when she dived in front of me on Jenian like a crazy woman!  But I think I'm going to have to buy a new bike to keep up with the rest of you guys, its frustrating outcornering people only to have them eat me back up on the straights.

    But yeah a great day.  The first couple of laps are hellish as everyone is weaving/cutting off/fighting for the line.  I learnt heaps and was amazed at how brutal I could be with my bike mid turn grabbing handfuls of brake or tipping it over even more to avoid/pass people.

    Also learnt a little more about my suspension because as the pace increased my rear started sliding out on the big turns and hurting my confidence.  I checked my setup and found my preload was too high in the rear and after lowering this 2 notches I only slid the rear two more times that day!

    good stuff Hoon, you did well and hell yeah i reckon a 400 is what ya need!  Cheers for the compliament there Si but i think i have a fair wee way longer yet before i quite get anywhere near there.

    Well im going to check my front brake pads today, remove my rear brake resevoir(just run the fluid in the line and blank it off) and change my rear tyre to a old 2nd hand hardend Dunlop GPR80  150/60/17  with about 90% tread.  Although i have learnt alot about new tyres and how awesome they are, i have also learnt that i cant afford to replace the back tyre every Sub-1000K's -and thats on a fairly hard compound Bridgestone BT90.

    Hee hee KK, don't go any faster or you'll be embarassing me next time, I was only 0.8 secs quicker....and you'll pick that up easy with your suspension sorted...looks like you got heaps of talent hidden in there

    And What? -thanks for that mate, im just happy you left when you did and you didnt have to cry @ my 2nd start... sheesh it left everybody out front and me stuck at the back, and i still dont exactly know for sure what went wrong, think i just didnt have enuf revvs and she bogged down... this is why i need a louder exhaust i think, i cant even hear my bikes revv's over everyone elses    but its all fun and games!

    Yep. I think that's why they call it a "sport", KK.

    Top day, too, was it not? Good to catch up with some of you guys and girls. Roll on the December national points meetings
