Hey Dangerous, are you planning on racing at Port Nelson on way home?

Last year we got three races on the second day and three practices/races the first. Plus we got to watch everything else.

Don't know about this year yet. We'll wait for Scrivy.

Whisper is that a certain Mr Steadman is being tempted out of retirement to ride at Taupo. Something about giving Mr Duff "the learn".

Yes Sir. Jim's bike when I rode it was just a "little" bit slower than Peter's, the one F5Dave has. However it handled so well that even with hanging off and dragging the leather on my boots and knee slider I still flattened the sidestand tang on the frame. Jim has won a few races on this bike in the past and apart from Nigel's bike I still think it's pretty well unbeatable with him on it. Jim and I lapped third place at the last GP at Taupo and we were all over each other. After riding his bike though I realised that he was just going slow to make it look good for the spectators.
