You'll never find out, back straight aint long enough, you might get 260, 270 if your lucky, but it's a good track.

Well seing as he's wrapped up in Australian Superbikes, you wont see a number 1 plate on a Superbike there.

Unless Eddie attends, then ya might see a number 1 indicating how many consecutive laps he completes..........

I can't make this track day as I will be in Christchurch.

Anyone taking a cage down want to take the KB flag to the track?

**Nicksta** · 15th April 2007, 10:10

Team Bent Spanner can try and fit it in if Frosty doesnt come grab it... i'll ask Ed....

**SpankMe** · 15th April 2007, 10:14

Thanks Nicksta. I'm more than happy to drop it off anywhere.

**skidMark** · 15th April 2007, 11:32

Guys n gals I've been asked about bike insurance cover whilst on the Taupo Track
Specificly during a KB track day.
Once again please let me cover this off once and for all
Insurance cover /exclusion is the responsibility of the individual rider to organise.
However as I have made VERY clear in the past
The Kiwibiker trackday in no way is or ever will be a RACE meeting, pacemaking, a reliability trial, speed testor a timed EVENT.
What that means in plain english is I (AS EVENT ORGANISER) cannot/will not run a RACE meeting or in any way run timing equipment of any sort.
I cannot however control the actions of any individual who chooses to use HAND HELD timing equipment such as a stopwatch.
I will be forced to ask that said timing desists -SHOULD I SEE THE TIMING TAKING PLACE

As with EVERY track day I have ever run there will be specific 1 on 1 rider training taking place during the day.

From day one I have made it clear that my trackdays are for the specific purpose of improving your individual riding skills in a safe,controlled enviroment. As such you could say they have always been rider training days.

Anyone unsure how they individually stand in regards to this needs to contact their insurance company.

On a personal note I would like to meet with the undewrighters of any insurance company that elects to decline cover--

Hey Fosty

I'm with NAC (Northern Auto Club) and my insurance policy states:

"Uses of the Cycle/Motorcycle which are not covered"

Point 6: Either practising for, or taking part in any activity, whether organised or not and whether on a road or not, that contains any element of any one or more of racing, time trialling, rallying, sprinting or drag racing, motor sport event, demonstration, or test or advance driver training.

I called them up and advised what was happening and read to them the above section of the policy... I had to be put through to 4 different insurance agents before one could answer my question...

They said they would cover me if I provided the Venue location, Track Day date and event name, I told them the event name was "Kiwi Biker Trackday 5", so I hope thats ok.

My excess for the trackday is double my normal excess ($1500 if I crash on the track... $750 if I crash anywhere else).

Does that sound about right for Trackday insurance?

Oh well.. at least I'm covered and I also requested that a letter be sent to me stating I am covered for Trackdays (well this one at least)
