    Thanks MotoTT for another wicked day!

    I haven't been at Taupo since VMCC round 1 in May, Taupo track is so much more fun than lake Manfield!

    Spending a day at the track was just what I needed. I haven't had much chance to ride the 998 yet, but after Friday I'm quite happy with the whole setup.

    Thank you Sinfull for keeping me company during the 10 hours drive!

    cheers!!

    What an awesome day! It was great to meet so many people and put faces to avatars!

    Aero - got some great video in the 4th session. The camera shit itself in the 3rd session on Pedro's handlebar, but you can just make out you, me & Quasi 3-across before it stopped.

    Some other good shots of Erik & Jas too. I'll try to get it edited tonight and post it up tomorrow. Lots of passing on the outside to edit out!! ha

    Here's some video from the 4th session of the blue (medium) group:



    It was my first trackday on the sv, I think I'm getting the hang of it, I was happy with how I progressed from first to last sessions. I've been told my lines seem ok and I'm accelerating well out of the corners, but that I should work on going faster into the corners and be smoother.
    On the bandit, I was worried about leaning too far over and the tyres letting go/rolling off the edge (happened twice on turn 3) so I'd try to get my knee down because then it felt like I could pick the bike up when it started to go, plus hanging off meant the bike wasn't so far leaned over. I started doing the same on the sv, but I think it meant I was focusing too much on getting my knee down. It's got pirelli diablo's on at the moment which ought to grip fairly well so I started focusing more on riding smoothly than getting my knee down and I think it helped.
    I'll try and get some stiffer springs in the front and maybe emulators and also install a '05 zx6r shock before the next trackday. I was noticing the front mushing around a lot going into corners. I didn't notice anything wrong with the rear ("best you know is the best you've ridden", I guess), but the zx6r shock is supposed to be a good upgrade and it'll be interesting to try.

    Anyway, the weather was awesome, just a bit cold. I see why the sv is a popular touring bike, at 110km/h in 6th it does 5000rpm and you can barely feel any vibrations at all, plus the exhaust note is deep, even with the Two Brother's can on my sv I can hardly hear it over the wind noise. And the heated grips have won me over, I think I'll leave them on the bike.

    Thanks MotoTT!

    P.S. Dave, good to meet you.

    HAHA I love the Motard in the last one minute taking the sportsbike around the outside around the outside, I think I might have pissed him off judging by the way he looked back at me, but hey if you pass me super fast and cant do the corner to match move aside I say

    Nice video.

    I liked the guy towards the end coming out of nowhere - kinda lanesplitting through the field and then fucking off
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
