Great day. Fricking shagged out now, though.

Thanks Devil for the hospitality (and happy birthday)

Signed up for the March one already.

Finally finished uploading to YouTube. Takes forever with 128kbps up speed on Go Large

Session 2 was my best but didn't have the camera on. By session 3 my legs we getting tired. Ah well better get back to the exercise bike! Had fun with the guy on the VTR1000 too. Pity some slower riders kept getting between us or I might have found a way past him.

Still, I'm pretty happy with my lines after deciding concentrate on lines rather than attacking the corners. I used to check my speedo and enter the double-apex onto the straight at 70+ so I'm obviously overestimating my speed. Figure that'll come right as I get used to judging speed with reference points rather than the speedo

Last trackday in NZ for me, and that was a very awesome one!!!
I had time to rest from the waking up at 4.30am by marshalling in the morning, and the bike felt really good for the three sessions in the afternoon!

My first session was the third session for the people in group 3 so I was pretty much the slowest, trying to warm myself and the bike up...By my second session, i let it go more, lining more and building my speed a little bit more and by the third session, i was knee down in T1, T5, and the hair pin

My only annoying moment: trying to pass safely on corners that girl on a green ninja that is doing half my speed in corners, but she keep pushing her bike at high speeds on straight to brake hard just in front of me at the entrance of the corner..just pissed me off, whats the f.. point of doing that??? so she kept having me following her close for the whole time, which might be pretty annoying for her, and was for me

..

Thanks to Sue and Allan for making it possible for me to ride in the afternoon, Pete and Fynn for the drive down (i'm not gonna miss 'close your window and boil for half an hour' games tho, ah boys! lol), Noel for the trailer, and all the people of MotoTT for another smooth trackday!

And here, my best pic of the day (from the pics i saw for now..):
