    Taupo today

    Great day, marred by me getting rained on over Pyes Pa, and a few ambo calls on the track, but the weather was great.
    Met up with 6Chris6, KK, Frosty and Hoon - good to meet you guys. No Lynda Blair to be seen?!?!?!?
    A few interesting bikes; an early 70's Laverda, an original, tidy and unrestored 1966 BSA Hornet and, on the track, a hand-built Guzzi special which began life as a Centauro. Was quite quick, too, especially considering the motor is completely stock...

    What a weekend!!

    Wanganui and Taupo, no rain, great days.
    Great effort all the KB racers, MR got into the 42's (42.84)
    And then promptly had a near high-side experience but managed to hold it together.
    Great to meet What for the first time, and always good to see the usual suspects.

    Yeah good day of racing, bloody top effort for MR, KK, Hoon,and XJ.

    Got Mrs Quasi down on the back of the bike, she enjoyed it as well.
    I was a bit disappionted there was no track time but oh well was still a good day.
    Bloody knackered now though ,I must be getting old the ZXR as great a bike as it is is a real yucky tourer especially two up, Im winging now, I may have to grab a sports tourer so me and Mrs Quasi can go in comfort

    Anyway good to see you all again
    Lynda was there with Hamish in the main stand most fo the day I think.
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    Dude, you should have got Lance's Mrs's pics!! I thought a certain stunt pulled by her was more entertaining than his wheelies.

    Well let it be said there were a few jaws dropped as she walked past in her Half a dress lol.

    Shit I had a good day -The best part was being timed and Im as fast as KK and Hoon -I just need to get better bloody starts.
    Ohh and leaving big black streaks on the track exiting the hairpin meant I couldnt accelerate harder if I wanted to.

    I haven't seen any results posted on Silverbullet. Was this part of the competition?

    Just the bike. I believe the rider is OK, albeit with a sore arm.

    Shouldn't be allowed. There were lots of blokes being distracted from the racing! (I misses the "stunt" - you going to elaborate?)
