I'll be in there tomorrow so will call in & have a good look.

Dropped into HC whilst in ashvagas to give it a checkover & get a couple of pics....but its already making its way home to its owner in Waihi ; was down for a dyno tune.

How hard is that going to be to beat with a "production" Kawasaki?

we were a little behind this year, and down on what we thought we would be, but will find some more out of it, the Turbo Busa's were good and we knew they would be, i need to get a bit better riding it (i had not ridden the bike i 14 months, or got it out of 2nd gear in 18 months) , and we will get some more HP out of it, so next year we hope to be in front,

it was a very cool day, wiht most people setting personal best times,

its now 340.5 km/h over a each way combined pass, we bet Shanes time this year,
one of the H2R's did a 351 kmh pass but did not come back quick enough to claim the record,

(this is the Landspeed NZ record) not the MNZ one,
