    Track day transport truck.

    I've been offered by the guys at Motorcycle movers the use of a transport truck to take bikes to Taupo trackdays.
    The idea being 6 guys turn up HERE and strip their bikes for a day of trackday fun. The truck turns up and carts the bikes to Taupo ready for you to ride . Then at end of the day he comes back here and drops the bikes off.
    Dunno if its a service many would use but its a thought
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Don't suppose he's doing a trip down south to CHCH over the weekend of the 9th10th of may , might be able to sort a few bikes for that one !
    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 !

    Yup I'd be keen. Just got race fairings sorted out and would have no way of geting the bike to the track. No Van = No trackday.

    When it gets a bit warmer, i'll be taking a truck out to Puke, HD's and the odd Taupo day. Dependant on the destination, cost will vary from lunch at Puke to Split the gas for Taupo.. Probably enough room for 8 to 10 bikes, only room for 4 in the cab though... will post when the sun comes back and i'm heading out.

    Hey Frosty / J-Rod, Will either of you be offering this service down to Manfieild for any of the Vic winter series rounds? Not so much for me (I am penciled in for round 5 or 6) but there may be enough Jaffa's to fill a truck...
