well here is my times

Standing quarter mile

12.791 seconds

Flying Qurter

199.33 KPH averaged speed speed is taken from 2 runs and then averaged out over the 2.

If you look at that video and listen carefully you can hear the bikes mainly Malcolms getting airbourne that way going down is the slowest as that section is really really bumpy and your right out of the seat it was a very very scary ride along there especially my record run with the bike getting a massive headshake over the bumps


Did anyone get any vids or pics of my 125 wheelies or burnouts??

I saw them on TV news tonight.

Apparently according to the reporter I can buy a MV like that for $11,000 - just let me know which dock I need to be standing on a midnight.

Well done - the road appeared far from smooth!

I suggested trying next time in Invercargill - Mayor Tim will probably happily close a State Highway to get you there!

[slowpoke]

I've got no idea what records were set but huge, I mean HUGE respect to all who gave it a crack on that mongrel bit of road. I saw Malcom come across the main highway on his way South for a run and he was off the seat with both wheels off the ground at what would have been over 200km/h......and things only got hairier from there.

Hey man thanks alot aye.

It was sounding crisp as on that record run aye it was so lean we were rworried we were going to melt a piston,

If you were in the pits 5 minutes before you would have seen the mad dash to get the bike back out after a bolt snapped in the primary drive and we had to remove it luckily my mate Daniel just kept on at it and eventually got it out.

Thanks alot for turning up everyone you guys did awsome and Choppa the Desmo did not break the record he was wanting to achieve dont think he even got the 200mph mark I wont confirm this as I dont know but he was close but just not close enough full respect to Paul riding it tho he was honestly flat out at 280ish and had the front lifting and rear spinning and also went in the gravel one run!!!

And man Them sidecar nutters constant sideways haha

yeah that bit was in front of our marshall post. At one point the Busa looked like it was going into a bit of a tank slapper (at 250+ kph!!!)
The bumps seemed to cause a bit of drift when the wind got up too.
The highlight of the day for me would be the Busa. shit he was fast. Did something happen to the bike on his last run? sounded like a dropped valve from where we were.

Did the Ducati get 345km?

You should refrase that to.

Did the Ducati get to 300?
Waste of money and should have put it towards a busa with a big F@#k off turbo.

Was a great day indeed. Massive congrats to Vicki. Good to see my tyre letting down skills were good enough.

Cool vid Willy I totally forgot you had your camera there.

One more thing MASSIVE ups to the marshals that helped out on the day.
In my opinion cliffhanger need to do some thing for the marshals. I feel for the peps that stood around for the whole day with no water or food. Lucky for sinfull and me we had all the kai right behind us.

great day non the less. Hope they get there shit sorted before the next one.
