    Was a good day at Taupo. Even got sunburned. Got to say there is a lot of ladies doing track days. Was very hard to keep an eye on what was going on out on the track.
    Tony did very well today and it wont be long before he is in the fast group.

    Whooo whoooo you know how much I like an all day breaky…. Well I had 6 pieces of bacon, tomato, 2 eggs, sausages, 3 bits of toast and as many fills of tea as I wanted. Total cost $3.00. Would have to be one of the best for ever. I think I will revisit that place. And a sexy waitres.

    Well done Tony. You had a ball mate. It is an addiction and you will need plenty of mental heath days. Go That man.

    Had 3 Triumphs, 2 Ducatis, including a 1098S in our garage. Was a no Jappa zone.
    ( More a coincedence really..)

    Ran the Speed Triple in 3 sessions and the Ducati in one, mainly to test if the fault was fixed.
    It is.

    First time ever I've scraped my boots on the ground cornering, gave me a fright first time, but became regular as the day wore on.
    First time ever found the rev limiter on the Speedy.

    Felt really in sync with the Speedy, dunno what speed I was pulling but it was over 9000 down the straight in 5th.
    The lack of a fairing on it did'nt seem to matter on that track with only being 1 long staright
    Passed a few Gixxers.
    Got passed by Gixxers too.
    Had no near misses, no close calls, all was well.
    Fitted top hi perf brake pads this week, halved my braking distance from the old pads.
    Highly recommend EBC HH pads.
    Rear end started to lift under braking, wound the pre load out and it changed the whole bike, awesome.

    What a great track, great organisation, good grip, I'll be back.

    Think there were a few bins, only saw a guy go off in front of me, and a chick in my group looking sad holding her bike up on a bend.

    Rob said there were a few including yet another R1 biting the dust bad
    Rob was quick with advice on what it costs to repair those!
    And a CBR too I think.

    Thanks to Rob for coming with me and assisting.

    Did I mention there were lots of hot chicks!
    Yep thats the way all the fun on the track, ya must of bin getting low cos you only got little legs, well done Tony I would have bin there but had to work all day.

    The neatest experience of the day was on the hairpin at the back of the track leading onto the main straight.
    You know how when both bikes are going about the same speed whether its 100 or 200 kphs etc, how everything is in slow motion between the 2 of you?

    I was leant right over starting to exit the hairpin, and I hear a noise beside me......look to my right and a godanged motard drew level, sideways, foot out like speedway and slid the back end past me and took off.
    It was in slow mo time, I had time to look, and think......'fuck, thats so cool'.
    I blitzed him on the straight but it was one of those real neat things that you had to be there eh.........

    I wonder if you're talking about my mate Sandra? Rides a blade real fast but tends to fall off. Was she the CBR that came acropper? See attached photo, titled "decent" because a couple of others she sent me are a bit more personal!
