I could be a starter for this so I have booked 5 spots in the Stewarts Corporate Box so if ya want we mite have to do some name changing unless the guys go down that I have named.

More then likely NOT !!!!! Seat height would be fine tho!
Last & ONLY time I road a 1000 was down Middle Rd back in 1980. Hit a ton & the bike went into a tank slap. Bent frame from Steve's last Production Race off. Thank god for off road & esp Himitangi Beach sand riding!! SORT OF PUT ME OFF!!! But the little Jappa Sportzbike suggested in the Bike Personality Quizz would be awesome!

What are you doing on KB when you are meant to be hard slaving then?

Thats my story........

You have to persuade the old boy to let you have a road bike as well as a dirt!

Tell him you need a 675 Daytona.
Hell, the car engine can wait huh........

Not sure how many are planning on going down at this stage. Definately myself and Alvin and I've promised to pick my niece up and take her.

See you Sunday morning then at the BP?
