lol was that when u binned it at the levels trackday bro?

shit 200 down that straight.. mm I guess just about - think we only managed 187 (took some gps logger out one race) on the sidecar but its not that quick haha.. so a solo R1 should make it.. but u must have just crashed at the end with no attempt at stopping or anything? suprised the bike wasn't more fucked - f all run off there at the end of that straight and at 200 seesh.. that wall is awful close.. looks close from the wee sidecar anyway haha

yeah, the R1 speedo reads 253-240 if i get a good drive, Id got the brakes on a tad, speedo was still reading 220 I think when I hit the grass, so account for speedo error and jaded memory etc etc, but it was definitely 200. I was amazed it want wrecked, I got it running again for the next session

didnt realise i had a concussion yet till i was on the way home

I stopped only a couple metres from the wall, but there is a lot of runoff area there, I used all of it to come to a tumbling bumby stop

There's enough runoff for a sidecar to totally cock the corner up, go off into the grass, keep it pinned and get back on track still in the lead (but only by inches)

Moved on from what?....committing retail suicide?

Lifestyle Imports at Pukekawa has pulled his website too and only has about 40 adverts on Trad Me
Business must be crashing!

Actually.... I just pulled out some Bike Rider Mags from 2010- hell there are a lot of retailers in there that have since disappeared!

That sux. I wonder if there's any correlation with the increase in rego fees and GFC though you'd hope the GFC would have got people out of cars and on to bikes. Probably not that likely in NZ though

Pardon my ignorance but how is Guatemalan Fried Chicken getting people out of cars and on to bikes?

Now that would surprise me as he is a great guy that stands by his product and its not his only income.

I suspect hes undating his aged website.

In all seriousness, like him (Brett) or not the Qmoto gear is A+++ quality and no matter how much you bag the guy, the gear stands up to the test 100%. I know, I have been the crash test dummy on about 12 occasions in the same suit. the Q in Qmoto is definitely for quality!
