Well, here is a one of me in happier times....
Yep, I couldn't see for the red mist I guess
Possibly something funny with the bike too, but not sure yet.
I'll get ya next time Guy!!
Frosty was his usuall kind self and let me through a couple of gaps he was leaving, so I repayed him by running wide and off the track. (so what if it was practice, it still counts, right? )
Hoon, you seemed pretty quiet on the day, didn't see much of you at all, how was it?

Huge thankyou to the guy with two young kids who picked me up with their trailer and brought me back to home base. Much appreciated

Sorry I didn't meed up with some of the other KB'ers, perhaps we can paint frosty's new bus with the KB colours!

[Riff Raff]

Sounds like a great day. Wish I'd been there instead of being thrashed at work.

Craig said that using those tyre warmers for the day was great. He could get out there & go hard right from the start, instead of taking it easy for a lap or two until his tyres warmed up. Great booster for his confidence. Craig's bike is 48(1) and #3 is Steve Fultons.


I reckon that was excellent being able to take Luke out pillion during the fun ride/open track/whatever-you-call-it. Seems he had a blast too!

Craig?
Steve?
hahaha
you'll have to put their web name up also sorry.
i have trouble remebering my dogs names (4 of them) let alone the neat people i met yesterday!!

i was great to met you all, in a way it was a pity that luke and i flaged, as we could've been a great hinderance in the pits for you.
but luke enjoyed that alot anyway, specialy when he had to hold the bikes on the start line, !!! :cool2:

talking of hoon? he was a blouse out there...
i had to let him pass me on the fun ride time,.....

In the sweeper shots, im the first bike just infront of the camera on MR's GSX-R600, and MR is the bike infront of me on my ZXR400

Cheers for the marshalling and photo's andy

Neither of them has web names. Craig & I were both wandering around in bright red Ducati jackets (not to be confused with Linda Blair, who also had Ducati sunnies & sweatshirt & g-string & .... ) Craig had mostly white leathers with a red lid on racing F1/F2 and F3 races all day.

Steve Fulton is brother to Dean (Beanie) Fulton who's racing the Nationals this year on a CBR1000. Finished 4th of 5th over the weekend down at Teretonga I believe.

Haha!! Only coz I was in shock going "Who the hell is that nutter with the kid on the back waving a camera around!!!"

Yeah it was a great day and luckily the weather held off (and the wind too!!). Good to see such a great turnout especially from the KB crowd in F3 and the "have a go" thing. Good to meet for first time Scroter, ajturbo, and Mrs Frosty too!

Wasn't one of my best days and for some reason I just couldn't get my race face on. Might be because I haven't ridden in over 3 wks, most that time was spent fixing and repainting my bike from the various mishaps I've had during the year so I was very conscious about the new paint/tarmac magnetism factor. Also a new rear tyre, forks dropped another 5mm and lowered clipons had it feeling like a totally different bike which knocked my confidence. With clear track I managed mid 48's with tonnes of room for improvement on almost every corner however most the day was spent following the bike in front of me unless a gap the size of a bus opened up.

Two Smoker took to it like a duck to water and got into the 47's in his first visit to the track. Sudeep knocked a good 3 secs off from the last time I saw him race here too (did a 43.98 when I timed him). All I saw of That Guy was almost mounting his back wheel with his lousy 2-stroke starts before he pissed off into the distance never to be seen again Curious George was flying too - saw him pull a nice overtaking move on the outside of Turn 1 passing about 6 bikes (me included) however that was the lap right before he crashed on the very same corner! Craig and Keith Brock were looking real fast too!

Frosty must've had even worse starts than me because every race he would pass me on the final laps!

Ohh and Mike 21 (won F3 Race 1) is selling his immaculate 70hp ZXR400H for $4800 as he is moving to F1. It does 43s at Taupo and 1.08s at Puke and it comes with WoW's as well.

Haha. So true. gotta get my starts sorted; damn peaky 2 smokes! Every start a motard would wheelie past me while I fumbled about with slipping clutch/rev limiter/bogging/aww feck it. Pity the 125 rider! More practice needed.
