    Yeah well. I'd like a track with tar-seal on it and sufficient kitty-litter in appropriate places.....not that I'll be needing the kitty-litter...well, not often, anyhow.

    But I'm hanging out to do a track day. Might have to go to Puke on an open day; you know, where they allow cars, bikes, tanks, trucks etc, all on at the same time. Be just like riding on the motorway.

    No way in the world am I going near Taupo with that resin shit on the cracks.
    Only 'Now' exists in reality.

    Um nah they split them up, bikes only go out with trucks over 20t, and fixed wing aircraft.

    The run-off is sealed not kitty litter. Designed for bikes

    I had a few minor slides on that stuff at Moto tt last month, didn't like it...

    As for HD, it was still a giant dirt farm when I looked 3 weeks ago.

    so i am guessing if the track isnt finished there is no chance of World superbikes next year then as they had to check out the track before putting it on the calender?
