Taken out... I think

[malcy25]

Riders from overseas were frequent visitors during 'the good old days' of the '70's and '80's, remember Yatsushiro and Goodfellow? Mamola and Avant?
Glory days indeed!

Though Avant was a Kiwi boy from Chch and Goodfellow was a Canadian resident Kiwi . Others that rode included, Mortimer, Padgett, Hennen, Cooley, Lucchinelli(!), Willing, Hansford, Quincey, Sayle in then 70's and I remember seeing Rob Phillis at Wanga's in about 82 or 83. But yes, be good to see more guys

Hi Toast,
yea you highsided right in front of me at turn 2. No one touched you I would say you hit the white line. Looked a bit strange as it came round really quick and dumped ya on your head. (may have been some thing on the track)
sorry
Chris

Cheers for that dude. Strange as it may seem I am actually glad to hear it, and have a little more understanding of the incident.

Really was a weird feeling, one minute stable, the next bars slapping and high side. Time to check over the bike very carefully I think.

This sounds like the same spot where I nearly came off. But I think I lost the front, the bike started slapping and in general out of control. It was only luck I didn't crash. It was weird, I wasn't hard on the breaks or anything.

Oil?

Interesting to hear that, mate. Maybe it was oil...were you slightly inside of the racing line that most adhere to approaching there?

I don't think it could have been white line for me, because by that stage of the day it was pretty warm and they weren't so much of a factor anymore I didn't feel...and like you, I wasn't that hard on the brakes
