Manfeild trackday tomorrow Saturday 9th Jan. $50.00. Leaving BP Stortford 6.00am SHARP for 8.30am sign in. Rest stop at Woodville, gas up at Feilding BP. Anyone who wants to go, just turn up. ( You will need a current drivers license, cash, and a bike)
4 groups, race bikes, fast, medium ( 180 kph max) slow ( 120kph max and 2 up)

Just advised by organiser to get there as early as possible as they will do a head count and shut the gates at a certain number. Last Jan about 140 bikes, April over 200 with many turned away, so hence the earlier leave time.

Way to go G. You do realize that once you ride naked there's no going back. It's highly addictive.

Hey Grant you bugger, same, we had a brilliant day . Did Robs tyre make it all the way home? We got home about 5.30 unloaded the bikes and then attended a geriatrics birthday party, I was expecting muellied food a bit of Hank Williams then home and early to bed...not so, that old Johnny is not as mean as we all think there was steak (he must still have his own teeth) and salads for africa, beers wine and even those wee chocolate mints at the end...so suffice to say it was a fitting end to a fantastic day.
What's this Resthome Racing you cheeky bugger ? We prefer MotoGP ..AKA ..Moto GreyPower but hey, maybe we can pick up some sponsorship from MaryDoyle or Summerset retiirement Home. I could even go Direct to Honda and get a new CBRRR ,anyway I digress thanks for putting up the gr8 pics and the dubious company at the track,maybe we think about combining the next one with an overnighter in Palmy so we can have a few beers

Yeah, got home no worries. Rob checked the pressure at Manfeild before we left and again at Woodville and no change. The sudden loss of pressure on track is probably the reason it dumped him. Borrowed some tools off Glen Williams and managed to straighten the gearchange. Next Manfeild day is end Jan with Pacific Club, and Central Districts run another in March/April. Would be keen to do an overnighter as it makes for a long day getting up at 5.30am, riding down, racing and then ride home. Rob got me at 1.19.5 in the last session. Bit sad when my best time on an RZ350 was 1.17.9 qualifying for the '87 Castrol 6 Hour. Race pace on 600 class bikes then was 18's / 19's. ( but that was 23 years ago aye! )
