Couldn't you guys just get a room and get on with it?
As for red leathers and whether it's choppa or not I don't know... But he comes thundering in from behind in the last third of the video, hangs around for a corner or two and then proceeds to fuck off with style.
I can not be arsed to watch the video again, I don't get much joy from watching other people having fun, I'd rather be out there doing it myself.(and just so there are no misunderstandings - that is not to say that I personally feel I could easily match the speed of anyone in the video
)

DMTD - that is the best trackday vid I have seen...
I was thinking about packing in track days .... now I feel like a HUGE season...
wish I was there.... I will be soon
Heh...I now know why he's called chopper.
I'm just glad I know how to brake mid corner or I would've lost 40+g's worth of bike.
Don't get me wrong,him and a few of the other boys really farking know their shit,but racing styles in Group 2 is a bit raw.
Oh well...it was a track day I guess![]()
BY CHRIKEY!!
There a few in there that video that will have to play in Group One next time![]()
Was a great day alright. Thank you Goblin, Kiwifruit and Matt Bleck again. Thanks to the Slow Race contestants .... the winner is Paul Brown! Chrislost had it in the bag but put his feet down, so he is the 'slowest looser'!
It is such an amazing thing really. You all take such pride in presenting your bikes, and work on your riding skills. You analyze your (and others) riding and improve every track day. When we started doing track days we had mismatched front and rear tyres being presented at scrutineering, tyre pressures and brake pad issues, and most of these bikes ride on the open road with WOFs like that! Now it is hard to fault your bikes and the effort to improve performance on both bike and body is impressive. You start preparing at least a week out, take time off work and travel afar! (You must have wonderful wives too.) Well done you lot. Looking forward to seeing you at the next one.

Cool video! I didnt realise who you were when you were over talkin to my old boy i woulda come say hi! I have to ride group 2 because i dont like riding with super retards. That pass wouldnt look as bad but the video skipped half the corner and all of a sudded i just popped up, i was tryin to catch alex!
Id ride group 1 if there wasnt any farm bikes riding around with us!
They were all good mate, buggar all of them there. Although the back straight can be a worry with over 100k speed difference.
I was more concerned about some really dodgy riding from some sprotbikes in the infield............lol probably should include myself once I was tired..............but was only a trackday so concessions are to be made.
How'd the "10" go?
Yes to that dude, thats why I didnt put my Motard in that group, I stuck in group 3 but that was a bit slow (traffic wise) so moved to group 2 which was good speed wise as I was alone mostly apart from the end, but that was kinda boring with no other Motards around, rock n a hard place stuff really
Ive run out of fucks to give
The 10 went real good man, def went quicker on it then i was on the 600, the new suspension should be here next week and steering damper so that should help out a tad! Gotta keep those dodgy passes away from the trackdays! My dodgy passes were all on my old man but he loved and if i shot up the inside he would hold his line around the outside and squeeze me! It was great fun! With all the racing you dont often get a chance to just play around and have fun like that
haha you know i have a slicked up farmbike in the shed!
Here's some vid from the 1st session of Group 3. Erik features a bit! Getting the knee down first time out!

Thanks for another excellent day MotoTT. Amazing how you guys can organise such good weather everytime and nice to have a warmer track too. Good to catch up with some old faces and meet some new. Had good battles during the 2nd and 3rd sessions in group 1, then spent the last 2 with Duckaddict and Erik in group 3.
Cool Videos Erik, Chris and SeppoDave. Interesting each video had the camera mounted in a different position on the bike... Think I like the stem mounted one of Chris's best - made it easy to watch and without the movement of the helmetcam.
Hope everyone got home without a ticket!Lots of cops about on the way down and back - Valentine 1 performed well with those directional arrows proving to Duckaddict that this is the only detector to get!! Not that I speed on the road with the trailer anyways. Till next time...
When in Taupo, stay with Paul and Sandy at CHANTILLYS MOTOR LODGE
