    Hehe. Not far off either. I'm already calling dibs on our bucket. I need the practice.

    I confess to a slight bias here but I'm incredibly proud of how GirrlRacer is using the advice and support she is receiving. Humbled by that support too. This is a very steep learning curve considering she is learning to ride and race at the same time. I've watched how well she has managed the frustration of crashing, or coming last by focussing on the things that will improve her performance. Stoked.

    Righto Mr Banks. I need to have a word with you (or 10).

    You have had your chance to race, now it's Mihi's turn. She should be riding the bucket, not you. Then again, her asking to borrow a bucket will probably produce better results than you - she's prettier. Luff you long time.

    Mihi, it's great to see you having fun (even if not in real life - meaning me seeing, not you not having fun in real life lol). If you're at buckets in October, remember, you're meant to beat me. I've hit neutral so many times at the line. I broke my throttle cable (or rather, something went wrong with it) yesterday and instantly thought, oh bugger, neutral again, nope, that ain't right. So don't take any lessons from me on starts. Funny thing is I do practice them at traffic lights all the time, but that's definitely different.

    Great report, and looking forward to the next step - you having Sue chasing you

    For sure Mihi ! Looking good and getting faster and smoother in your riding every time

    The trackday was great fun too, had a ball dicing with you on Tyler's Bike. The look of "How dare you pass me" was classic, then you kept passing me lol

    it was alot of fun i think the "how dare you pass me" look was mixed with a bit of "who are you?" wasnt until after I realised it was you lol.

    I can take it like a man
    I will forward your concerns to the complaints department but frankly I don't rate the staff there very highly. I heard that the department head is away racing this weekend and wont be available till next week. Bloody bureaucrats.

    Great write up and brilliant effort this weekend Mihi. Keep setting yourself goals along the way, and it will seem all the more worthwhile as you achieve each and everyone of them.
