Well for anyone interested, Superbike School on Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th of February, Track day 8th February are what looks like last for a while at least for Hampton Downs unless the situation changes dramatically.

Also Wednesday I will be driving down to New Plymouth to see Robert Taylor and have my suspension adjusted to suit me, if someone feels up to a road trip. Will be probably an overnighter down that way.

Mine has Repsol power, you tried to steal them, but then mine also has Horse Power to offset lack of Repsol colouring so we are even!

Can happen to the best of us, I would be more worried about the people following target fixating and riding off the road also that could get interesting

No offense but Mark W seemed to have some interesting advice for a few people, either wanted or not by the recipient

Yours could be the first Repsol version ? Wished they had released Repsol Predator over here or the HRC version.

He gave me a great tip on looking further up the road in turns. Worked great for me, helped my corner speed heaps.

Needed it on a ride I did tonight.

Oh i know they did them, although thats a custom job, standard Repsol colouring has orange wheels, along with HRC version also but neither of them got realeased in NZ. Would of been nice to have only one of them brought here that I could of purchased when I brought my bike.

Although I love my bike in black also, just an ass to keep clean.
