Taupo is one of those track that go with your confidence. In the morning she can be slippery but as the day go on she seems to get better grip and so does your confidence.
Im not going to lie to you there will be one or two occasions where you will get a surprise but if your in the slow group the only real passing is allowed on the straights or on the outside as long as it is safe and plenty of room Kiwifruit can confirm but i dont think any passing is allowed in the infield (tight stuff) You will hear people before they pass you and thats the other thing you have to almost ignore as you will want to look back cause it sounds like someone is trying to get pass you as there revs is most likely higher than what they should be on the road
On the day come and have a chat to me or shaun or kiwifruit any one you see having a good time (you will see what i mean) and one of us will take you out in the slow group and show you the lines well our lines at least. Soon soon you will be happier than pig in mud

Trackday Addict
Did the HRC trackday at Manfeild on Monday with the CBR600 on BT015s. I thought they gave good feel and grip. 30psi front and rear, Suspension set to Seb Carpentier's settings as seen in Superbike Magazine. Although they wore nicely, unlike 014s which I've torn up in the past, I probably wouldn't get 2 trackdays out of 1 set. If it's your first trackday I'd leave the suspension standard, drop the tyre pressures to 30psi, and remove the mirrors!! And go in the slow group!
Can't make it to this one.... be on the HRC South Island Tour. Look forward to the one in early April!!
Who you gonna call!
Yip i find the first thing to get right is the tyre presure
If the bike feels good at the start but shit at the end too soft
if it feels shit at the start but good at the end too hard
if it feels good after 1 or 2 laps and sort of stay the same or just gets better spot on!

id run 32F/33R with 014s or 015s
but im werid around bikes, and like werid number combos...
i also like seing 600s bin behind my 400...(dont give me that satisfaction will ya)
and id say jsut go in whatever group you want, put ductape over your speedo and pretend its a road with no traffic or unexpected shit...(exept binned bikes coming into the last turn before the back straight)

Will definitely look you guys up and get some tips on the day.
Wow 30psi!. I run them at 36/42 on the road as per the book.
Haha if it works it works! Guess I'll have to experiment a little.600cc...

This 600 ain't binning if I have any say in the matter. Not quite ready to upgrade a 2 month old bike
e mare libertas
Not at all. The trick is to figure out how to brake into it and where to turn so that it becomes a single-apex corner. Nothing quite like getting hard on the gas and shooting past all the guys trying desperately to find some more lean angle so they don't run off into the kitty litter at the start of the back straight.
I ain't spilling any secrets, though.
kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.
