Go on....you were riding really well! I've watched you improve over the months. Now I know who you are.

Was so cool to see everyone riding smooth and safe. Can see why CHOPPA won the VMCC winter series.

He must have a wheelbarrow when he's not on a bike.

At first I thought Betty was constipated, then she passed something.

Thanks MotoTT for yet another awesome day.

God my arse looks big in that Erik !
Have come to the conclusion that a helmet cam might be the only way to go with the triple !
Here's the footage i got of group 4 when i took H out for a spin on the back !
The vibrations are way out there and the tank mount aint much better, so i'm at a loss to solve it !

cheers guys for the awesome day and keeping up on 2 wheels....

i do have to ask though who was on the black bike that almost crashed into the tyres where the camera lady was?! she was shitting herself, i explained it was most likely target fixation as you pretty much just rode off the track then managed to keep it up to get onto the back straight

funnest part of my day

Here I am again thanking you... But Seriously, Fireball and Goblin you are both amazing woman. Thank you for traveling to Taupo, lugging the fire exginushers and climbing up into the posts. Standing in the freezing wind and being on alert, eyes 270 degrees. Rushing into the pits for a quick sandwich, coffee and pee and back out again! Hours of watching and being on alert and so professional with it. Thank you very much.
Matt Bleck and Kiwifruit, again you helped people who wanted to learn and you also helped some who gave themselves the learn! Thank you both very much.

It was great to meet so many new people and see old friends. Newbee to track days, Matt from Tauranga, on an immaculate 1098 and nicely co-ordinating leathers, showed us how its done and won the "Slow Race", joining Paul Brown in the Motott Halls of Fame.

Thank you Motodynamics and Bayride Triumph
Thank you Boyd Motorcycles too.
Thank you all for making it a great day.

Sue

Get rid of the Diablos.
I used to get "let-go's" from mine regularly.
Been sweet since I started using other rubber.

mate nothing wrong with diablos! bit much pressure, id go to 29 cold. There are ofcoarse other tyres that grip better but you can be assured you can stay with pirelli! Try a supercorsa if your gonna do alot of trackdays, ive tested all brands of tyres and there has only been 1 other tyre that has been on the same par as pirelli but they are to expensive haha

I'll try 29psi next time. What pressure should I have in the front Diablo Rosso (rear is just a plain Diablo)? Leave it at 30psi or drop it as well? I haven't had any problems with it yet.

Fish had a Diablo on his VTR that he got out of a bike shops rubbish bin and that was interesting...the VTwin seemed to not smoke it up too much...

Just play around with the pressures, i prefer lower pressures cause the tyres spin less but they can bounce a bit, id keep 29 in the front but play around with the back, some guys are running low 20s in pirellis
