    Loaned Bike Track Day

    Okay. I now have a number of aspirants from the KB site, as well as the outside kids.

    The outside kids, meaning those who aren't on this site, I want under the control of AMCC, on account of I have a great deal of faith in Vince and the troops to understand and accept what I'm trying to do here.

    The next AMCC track day is in August, so that day will be reserved for non-biker aspirants.....my new hoon friends.

    However, for those of you, on this site, who want to do a track-day, on my bike, then lets arrange one ASAP with either Reline or Kiwi Trackdays, at Puke.

    Here's the rules.

    1. Four riders.
    2. All start in Group 4 and stay there unless I say otherwise.
    3. You each sign a waiver of liability, for me and for the track-day organisers.
    4. You will wear full leathers, boots, back-protector, gloves and boots....If you haven't got your own then let me know and we'll figure out something.
    5. You will understand that nobody but you can protect you, out there on the track.
    6. You will accept a riders briefing from the organisers and then me.
    7. You will adopt the attitude of a team of newbies, supporting each other, not challenging each other.
    8. You will stretch your ability to your own max and no more....Remember, egos kill and/or maime.
    9. You will have fun.
    10. You must bring a big lunch, and at least 3 litres of water...you'll get to understand why, on the day, believe me.

    And so. Here we go. The first four aspirants must PM me to book the slots.

    Perhaps you'd consider:

    Nope. That would put far too much stress on the rider.

    You break it! Okay, so you broke it. Shit happens. Are YOU okay?

    And don't forget the rule about looking after the team. You break it and they won't get a shot.

    It's only a bike, Gubb. It's a '95 Yami, worth about $3K on a good day with a tail wind.

    Sure, I'd be pissed. I actually adore my bike.

    But, at the end of the day its just a 'thing'. It becomes of use only as it transports me, hither and yon, during my daily doings, or on track-days/racing, or on the day some kids get a shot at feeling the real thrill of going fast.

    I can always buy another one.:--))

    are you serious, you are offering this without any liability on the riders to repair damages... i thought you would only offer that to those who you actually know... seems a little risky to me!
