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 !

Burn the rubber not your soul baby!
Wicked PB! fly into aucks tonight, catch up with the awesome Anglo crew, pick up the sexy #99, then head to the mighty Tron tomorrow to catch up with my long lost fandamily ( I can hardley remember what they look like....mybad!). Tx me with details of when your coming through Cambridge L, and I'll meet up with yas![]()
After doing my part to keep the Ambo's occupied and the Taupo Motorcycle repair industry ticking along at last months wet and cold Motott I have ended up at home in Auckland with a Fractured foot while my Bike and Gear remains in Taupo.
Im wondering whether anyone going down from Auckland would have room and/or be willing to bring back my pack rack Bag (full) and my helmet, boots and leathers. West Auckland would be great but Id be happy to pick up from anywhere in Auckland and of course happy to flick you a few dollars towards your gas bill or something ?. (Obviously, I would arrange for it to be at the track)
FWIW. Im the numpty who interrupted the 3rd group three session after lunch, but please dont hold that against me. I was going to go down myself but wont be able to drive for another 5-6 weeks.
All packed up and ready for an early start tomorrow!
Question: What's better than having a GSXR, or two GSXRs in the garage?
Three GSXRs of course!![]()
Awesome day! Really enjoyed the new track, its a real workout. Alick Saunders got some great photos which will be up by this evening.

+1track 5 is brilliant. Made ya work harder for passes and I must apologise to the guy I kinda block passed into T3 after going around the outside on T2.
The new T9-10-11 combo was cool. Very technical entrance and you really need to get the bike flicked over quick if you want to be fast through there. Hope the dude that crashed is ok.
The chicane on the straight is rather interesting with the bump under brakes then bumps on entry and exit. My steering damper was working overtime on the exit
I enjoyed the battles with the guy on the green ZX-9. I thought it was a 6 so was stoked I was able to keep up when I saw it was a 9.. Pretty sure he only got past me when I was held up by someone in front
My only negative comment about track 5 is the need to make the chicane on the back straight more obvious. I counted about 7 times that people straightlined into the cones under brakes and I think it's because it's easy to forget it's not the full straight. I almost did it myself. I have no idea how you'd do that without putting a dodgy tyre wall or something though.
