MotoTT Track 5, new configuration

[sinfull]

C'mon Bill, its not exactly stringin it out is it.....but i'd be more than happy for you to sit beside me to prove it...

Given present company, i'm not exactly going to start saying stuff I can't back

All good mate, was only trying to lighten the mood !
What you need to do is try out manfield on the 20th and 21st, motels or camps are cheap in fielding or there's a shitload be camping at the track !
Back straight that leads into a sweeper ya can do at full noise (well some can hehehe) Aww wait it's the full track in june but still a wicked track to try !
All ya need is a mnz # a club membership and 1 or 2 easy mods to the bike !
Promise ya you'll never look back !

Edit : Maybe not for you if your worried about insurance though !

Think what the guys that gave ya a bit of stick have lost sight of, is the fact they used to guage their own improvements by what top end they got on the back straight ! Believe me you too will stop looking at the speedo once it tops 240 and start thinking lap timers etc (not allowed though aye Alan)

Hope everyone gets their knickers un-bunched about the track 5 layout by the 20th eh

Mate, you're right on the mark there and I am really lookng forward to trying Manfield, just don't currently have the means of getting the bike there...
I certainly would go as far as not going riding cause the track was not how I like it, because any riding is good riding.
Hows the back and Knees comin along??

Beauty, that chicane evened up the playing field for the 600's riding in the fast group with 1000cc throttle jockies!

Now I just need to finance a super sweet 600 sportsbike and get back to the track!

Oh OHOHOHHHOOOOHHHH!

Mine is super sweet!
And you can finance a portion of it...

That track layout looks really cool. I always enjoyed the chicane after turn 8 onto turn two of the old taupo. Coming out of there lets you go through the opening right hander on the gas (onto the 'other' back straight) turns it into a really challenging and technical corner, to my mind more so than A1. The new chicane on the back straight is interesting...lots of walls. Ah well. Agree re a white line being painted, more definite than cones.
