Hey mister some one stole your windscreen!
kin fast around that corner before the straight mang

Well done erik, its like that. you just learn and learn every time you go out. I wish my tyres were bald enough to justify putting new ones on. I saw your bike in the wild west while getting drunk and annoying Sam, new tyres are amazing

i'm jealous i didn't get my arse there. i was packed up and ready to rock then changed my mind

looking good mate, and as far as i'm concerned... looking good is better than going fast.

i'll see you at the next one

Yeah the forecast of 25 degrees and sunshine all day almost put me off too...

WTF!!!

Was a mint day. Didn't actually get a heap of track time, but the heat had me shagged anyway. Got me a new PB, and scrubbed in my tires for Paeroa!

Well while you lot had a great trackday, I had a horrible one..... I got a flat rear tyre on the way to the track, lasted 2 sessions of slipping and sliding on corners before I realised the tube was absolutly fucked so I missed my next session and went to darryl augest motorcycles to get a new tube in my tyre. When I got back to the track I went out on my next session and after 2 laps the oil light came on!! Then on the last session of the day and the bike decided to pack a sad and wouldnt speed up as well as it should and was boggy in lower revs!!!

Was not happy at the end of the day when I got home and just wanted to either throw it off the top story of the house or just go to bed :mad2:

I got plenty enough track time, by the end of the 5th session I could feel my arms getting tired braking for turns and wasn't as focussed as in previous sessions. I even hit reserve half way through that session, haven't had that at a trackday before!

Here's some of my footage from the day. I was in the blue group (group 3).

the first video is a few edited clips, got a couple laps following jrandom at the start of the first session, then a lap (almost) following DMNTD in the third session and finally a lap from the 5th session where I had a bit of a slide (slo-mo of slide at the end of the vid).

The 2nd and 3rd videos are the complete 4th session.
