    Honda Rider Development Day at Taupo on 22nd March

    This looks like to good day.

    Anyone attending who wants to share a garage send me a PM. They are normally $50 per day and there's enough room for 3 or 4 bikes.

    I'd be in, being as handsome as i am, but got a reply to my email from HRC saying they were fully booked ! Must have been the fact i had a triumph that scared em !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Unlike the Suzuki days us Honda riders are secure in the knowledge we are riding superior bikes and are happy for you to come along and receive the learn should you wish

    We are also secure in our sexuality

    Should be a great day with Aaron Slight, Craig Shirriffs and Fred Merkel there to give us the learn. There's also the first look at the 2009 CBR600RR with ABS which they will be "previewing and demonstrating". Don't know if that means that some of us get to ride it....

    I've only managed to get to the HRC trackdays recently - Manfeild and Ruapuna, and with only three groups, not so many entries and mainly older(?) riders, there's been heaps of track time (they haven't stopped the sessions for lunch). I've used all the fuel I brought which had never happened before!! Just got the feeling Sunday won't be the same.....

    Might finally meet you!!! (And I'll be on the Suzuki should you wish to give me the learn...)
    When in Taupo, stay with Paul and Sandy at CHANTILLYS MOTOR LODGE
    For Suzuki Parts call Dan at COLEMANS SUZUKI - For Tyres ask for Danny at BOTANY HONDA

    gonna be great!

    Yeah man will keep an eye out. Blue/white gixxer in your pic?

    Will probably be in the same group as I figure after 4 MotoTT days I can't really say I'm in the newbie group anymore.

    I've just finished checking over the bike and packing. New M3's front and back that'll get scrubbed in on the ride down.

    Weather is looking good

    Yup, that's me. Depending on your insurance we may be in the same group. HRC run a separate group for trackbikes. Those insured thru HRC are only covered if they ride in either of the road bike groups.

    what a top day that was. The event was rather over subscribed which meant quite a few bikes on the track and a rather confusing change to a 4 group format at one point... but all good anyway.

    High point for me was getting a full session of 1 to 1 instruction with Fred Merkel... what a top guy. He showed me a few lines which really worked.... just great to watch him ride too. Loooked so effortless... Also, I rode one session on Aaron Slight's Fireblade... well ok it was Honda's bike really but it is the bike he uses which is good enough for me. Its an awesome bike by the way - Way more power, better brakes and handling than my 07 Blade...

    Weather was great - plenty of track time.... even lunch was thrown in... Just a cracking day all round. Really enjoyed it.
