And Dooly there was a Tricolour 1098 there and it was nice. It was pumping.

Speights_Bud told me. I think congrats are in order to both of you. He had a ball on the SV and was happy with the 1.21. I hear you did a 1.20. Whooo whoooo. You should look at the winter season as well Rob. It would be great to have the three teams at the track. Rob Racing, Team Cudby and Doohan racing. It will make for a great meeting place once a month.

My offical time keeper had me on 1.19 Not bad considering its only my second time there in twenty years.

Did i say twenty years?

[robertydog]

No its 21 years. 1987 Nationals. Senior production/Formula 1, riding a Honda VFR750

Shot down to manfield this arvo to have a blast on Team Cudby's SV650, started out ok, taking a little bit to settle back into the bike after not riding anything for over a month, first lap was 1:28, but got down to 1:23's by the end of the session. the first session felt a bit off and only in the last 2 laps did i finally manage to hit ''Dunlop'' (the sweeper onto pit straight) correctly and carry some decent speed through the corner to the straight which really helped me to carry a smooth flow to the rest of the track.

The second session felt much better after quickly settling into the bike and i was able to get into a smoother groove as i started at the front of the fast group and had a clear track to play on. I was passed by a fzr1000 and two inline fours in this session but by the end myself and the other leaders had lapped about the back half dozen or so bikes. Averaged 1:21's in the session apart from the couple of laps near the end where lapping traffic started to hold me up.
The SV felt really positive, pulling evenly right through to the red, the tires were spot on for the day, and they gave plenty of feedback. They at least held well enough for me to kill another knee slider and remove a decent volume of material from both the right footpeg and the rear brake lever without coming to any harm

All in all a great day out, the new track surface has been ruined once again by those prats in their drift cars but none the less plenty of grip if ya keep the wheels in the right places

Now to get back out on the RG on some track days to do the last of the testing and setup for the Winter series

Its not really a happening thing atm.
Think some of us just go for rides whenever now and with whoever's interested.

Bugger, was looking for something to do thurs night, depending on the rain staying away. Do you know if the thurs night Napier bunch (aka 'the fast crew') are still going? I've seen a few bikes outside the loading ramp last couple thurs nights and they look like bikes from 'the fast crew'.
