Well here goes.... Me and koba rock on up to Dangerous and Rashika's place at about 10 pm on Fri night. AJ and Luke were asleep already. I get a great sleep on Fri night and am awake bright and early on Sat morn. We all get to the track and semi set up before its even light. I start getting nervous and have to make the long trek to the loo every 5 mins. Koba was running around sorting my bike out while I smoked as many ciggarettes as I could. The Spada (Jimmy) turns up so I have 2 pit bitches. The bike failed scrutineering the first time so I should have fired them but they begged and pleaded to stay on as my pit bitches. The bike passed 2nd time round. Sweet.
Righto so 10 mins practice rolls round. I get out on the track feeling like a right noob! I was so nervous I was almost shaking, lol. I had an awful time out and wasnt used to the higher gearing/ larger sprocket that we had put on the bike. The bike only had power when the throttle was wide open and it had none anywhere else. It was shaking like hell and I couldnt relax.
When I came in I had some time on my own and thought about it a bit.... I had some encouraging and helpful words from dangerous and others so I started feeling a bit happier.
1st race was a 6 lapper and I went out at the end of the group for warm up. I had an OK warm up lap and had sorted out the gearing in my head. The 6 laps went fast. I was relaxed and keeping the power on. I bet AJ and finished the race with a huge smile!
By then the weather was turning to crap and dark clouds and wind had arrived. They got teh 50 gp done and eventually BoB 1 hour race was starting. I was feeling a little cocky.....
Went out on the track took a breathe and got my body position sorted. Opened the throttle and I was off. Yeehaa! Then I got to the next corner and for some weird reason I sorted if let go of the throttle a wee bit?! Next thing I was exiting the corner, lent over anmd I opened the throttle but there was nothing but a bluuuuurp noise and feel so I dropped down a gear and for some stupid reason suddenly opened the throttle right up. Next thing my bike goes down rolling my left foot down with it. I came down pretty hard and it hurt but I turned around and there was some poor bastard about to run over me, doh! I slid away from him and stopped. I thought that I was OK and tried to get up to see if I could start teh bike up. My foot hurt to much and I couldnt so I went of to the side. My bike had slid really far but was sweet. Only a broken clutch lever
I got quite sore and couldnt move so an ambulance came and took me to the pits. They wanted to take me to the hospital but then everyone wouldve had to have waited until another arrived before they could start racing. I wasnt that sore so I thought id be fine. Went to rthe hospital a bit later and I have a fractured "some bone on my foot". I was really pissed of at myself, especially as it was my own damn fault, grr! But I had a really good time in Christchurch.
I have sooo many people to tahnk!
