Hawke's Bay weekend rides

**BigG** · 31st October 2007, 20:42

I just tootled around the track and enjoyed myself one of my better lap times was 2min 17 sec slow I no but fast for me. Top notch down back straight 217 but not caining it I only took it up to 12K cos I like my ride and dont want to pop it.

Not just about canning it down the straights. I spent some time learning the lines, trying to get the corner speed up. Learnt quite abit about the bike, and the tyres. And i think that at the end of the day every one came away smiling. I got some video of ya BigG. So i will get my A into G and get it up for you.

Great to hear the comments BigG and Rob. That's what a track day is about. Well done you two. It was great to watch and very pleasing not to pick many bikes up on the day.

Thanks for the video clip Rob. Must have bin my slow lap and I thought I was hanging over. Your lap times at a guess would have bin around 2 mins or just under cos you were going prety quick at times. I try and get your video up.
