Hi Yow ling, ooh that doesn't sound too good. There's no rush, just checking on progress. Will give you some cash if they are causing issues.

He he, no worries. Whenever you get a chance. I'm not heading down to Levels for the race meet down there so won't be doing anything till late January, still have to join up to MCI and BMRC then apply for a racing license. Also replace the chain.

What? Levels is awesome on a bucket! Ask Santa for a chain.

Join up to CAMS or MCI online and get day licence, sorted!

Geez I sound like I'm putting this racing thing off doesn't it? Just watching the finances over the xmas period and then will be into it. I really really do want race with you guys,

Yeah levels is best full track in NZ for buckets. I will be there if they let me run the gixxer (come on CAMS, run a moderns class!!)

Alright, alright, I'll see what I can wrangle. Will have to sweet talk the wife over christmas and give her a few surprises, he he.

I've just tried to join MCI online but on their registration form they ask for a licence number but I don't have one due to not being a club member yet. Catch 22?

So I've emailed the president of the club and will wait for a reply.

Violator eh? Sounds a bit rude.

Nah I havn't had any problems with the stitching coming apart, maybe that it on the suits? Gloves seem fine.

Ha ha, yea they do a bit. I've worn them a couple of times now and seem pretty good comfort wise, have heaps of feel (snigger snigger) through the palm compared to my other gloves. Just hope they are aren't too cold during the winter.

Teknic gloves are really good value for money. I have had 2 pairs of more expensive alpinestars, both pairs survived one crash each. In one incident I had 2 fingers sticking out the end of a pair of GP Plus gloves that cost me over $300. Since then I have had 2 pairs of teknics that have survived probably close to 10 crashes. The first pair are still usable, just got another pair cause they were looking a bit tatty.

Cool, thats great feedback to have. I couldn't let the deal go by, 66% off is a great discount. I've never had Teknic stuff before but happy with it so far, hopefully I don't get to crash test them.
