Do we need rear brakes and nylon .

Just kidding, hopefully ill be there with a bike. Otherwise just me and my leathers.

Looks like its shaping up to be another wet meeting from the long range forecast. Yay for slick tyres and surface water!

Seriously though, if its third wet round in a row this is getting a bit silly

Haha you're not kidding

Can we clarify what early means. Last time someone was there early and setting up tyres they were told to leave and come back later.

IMO that would be around 10.45-11.00am.
People tend to arrive a lot later than that, once the track has been set up of course !!

Not gonna make it I'm sorry. Got too many things that need attention at home.
Damn I hate priorities.

If anyone is heading up there from the hutt valley for only an hour or so for a looksee and can give a couple of people a lift could you please PM or call me....

OK the BadAss #21 has reconditioned forks, stiffer rear suspension, new jetting, and fancy new airbox, so is ready to go... See ya all there round lunchtime

The fancy new rain-proof airbox courtesy of Garth's Kiwi ingenuity and a used bottle of Yamaha Carb Clean!

...and Lady Penelope is making an appearance...FINALLY !!!!!!!!

Also, if you get there a little earlier, we'll do sign-on before going through the gate to speed things up.

[Skunk]

I will be there. Same bike as last time (haven't had time to do anything) except this time it should at least start.



I hope...

The FXR is in bits so might come up to help out and take some photos.

It looks like we might even have a "dry" meeting! Rain looks like it disappeared overnight

[hmurphy]

Yep! I just went out for a bit of a ride and the roads were mostly dry!!! It actually didn't rain overnight where I am. Catch all of you there

Definately a fun day, was interesting to race on a half wet track with goat crap and dirt! Overall I enjoyed it, but I won't make it next week to Kaitoke I am quite sure. Not enough money to fix up the damages, but I will be working on the bike to have it Kaitoke ready this week. I also have some tank camera footage that I will be biffing on youtube too if you want to check it out. Keep a look out on my account http://www.youtube.com/user/IPhantomLordI because you might be in it!
