Day was awesome. Hot, thrills, hot, spills, hot, lots of learning, hot, really good value. Found it very useful. Got the edges of my tyres scrubbed in a safe (ish) environment. Lots of melted tar on way home - doesn't worry me as much now. Did I mention how hot it was?

What a day. First track day for me and it was great.

Good to catch up with other KB's.

You should wear the shirts it would help.

Anyway thanks to everyone that I got to chat to. :spudwave: There is no substitute for getting out and doing it. If anyone gets the chance but is to shy to ride at a track day take it from me it is worth every minute you get on the track.

Thanks to the sponsors and the time that was put in by everyone to make this day happen.

You are all great and I still have a stupid grin and will have for days. The road just seems so clutter and slow now.

Cheers people and there is no need for a ladies only day. A track day that is run as well as today's would work for everyone. At no time today did I see or feel any pressure to ride outside my ability and I started in the novice group. But it would be better to do a woman's only day than not do one at all.

Hope the people who dismounted their stallions are ok. Where do we get to see the pic's from the day?

Did Joanna get away ok John?

Darn it was a hot day. All praise to the people that planted the trees 20 years ago around the track.

Amazing experience, as like Gixxer first track day for me as well, it made for a long day met at 6am at AB Papakura and got home at 8.30pm, Rodders thats the longest trip time I have ever had from Taupo on the way back but the route you took us on was bloody great. Will post some pics over the weekend, good to meet Cajun and MadAndy and that all the KB's there made it back safely.

Oh yea....didn't mention the daring young lady on her GSXF750 who was the sole representative of the other species. Name of Jo, from Raumati South. She was buzzing & improved her skills & confidence out of sight. She has lurked on this site, hopefully we encouraged her to get involved more.

I forgot to make a special mention of Paco and the effort he made to be up and about at 6am, but Pac I think the look on your face after the '05 R1 ride was worth it was it not?????
