Who went to Ruapuna today?

It seemed like there was a pretty good turnout, I was really surprised to see that many Harleys on a racetrack. At least 2 people ended up in hospital by the end of the day. One of the Asian guys in my group was riding rather slowly, so I showed him how to countersteer and I encouraged him to lean more and corner faster. 10 minutes later he wiped out and got carted off to hospital rather promptly.

I was there! I was the one all dressed in blue and carrying a video camera (and looking like I didn't have a clue!)

I wasn't there. I slept in....

Feel free not to pass your advice this way then......
