For those that ride with the RAT's here is a schedule

[Dooly]

I see in the paper tonight, that a Brent Neilson of Hastings won this event with a time of 59.91 seconds on a ZX10 !

Congratulations Brent.


Now I need some help from you guys here.
I was sure I did a much faster time than that, years ago in my car.
I referred to the HB Car Club history book and sure enough, on 17 October 1992, my time was 52.50 (FTD)

This is a 7.4 second discrepancy,...... an eon !

Something must be wrong here....any explanations?

Maybe the bike one was longer?

Yeah we get those sent out in the mail, but alas, hardly anyone goes anymore. Usually just Gerald and maybe 1 or 2 others.
Bummer really.

[Tony W]

Could well be.

At 100kmh, how far do you go in 7.4 secs ?

[GMcC]

It's all good mate. I think Rob would make a better pathfinder, i'll just hold people up... Let us know if you're keen for one or two of us rowdy geezer's from down this way to join you guys when you get here, we'll see if we can lower the tone of the ride somewhat..

Sounds a good idea So what we HAVE to DO is DO something about IT
If WX semi OKish........mos prob go Paeroa for hacksaw
This could be the start of a quadregular event NZSarge !!!!

[GMcC]

Hey Dooly hows it idling
If WX not suited for trip up top yea we could annoy the others on Sundy
See wat pans out

[Morepower]

: I've got some suspension adjustments required too, kept wanting to run really wide if I tried any decent corner speed. Anyone know someone around here who might be able to help?

If the bike is pushing / understeering it could be too low in the rear , probably a bit more rear preload will help . here is a good site on the subject of suspension set up.

Yeah mate.
Can't make Paeroa, have to go to a do on Sat night which will make the next morn pretty bad for an early start, especially when needing to concentrate on the bike.
But intend to ride both days this weekend. No chores needed around the place this weekend, no grass is growing.

Me to! I will do the Burger Fuel trip on Sunday 2 up. They seem to get quite a reasonable turnout with some nice bikes. The franchise owner rides a duc and is a pretty good guy from the dealings I have had with him.

How was yesterdays ride Tony? I should have taken the offer up had a shit arvo and then some wanker clipped my car mirror trying to squeeze past me in his car on the inside while I was waiting to make a right turn and blammed me!

Oh, took a deep breath, decided what ever happens re another bike for me (i.e. Daytona 675 on the wish list), as I will keep the VTR ordered in a Ohlins rear shock yesterday

[Dooly]

If he rides a Duc he must be ok!!!

Good to hear about keeping the VTR mate.
A man can never have enough bikes.
