Mint day, but my brakes and I were pretty tired by the end of it.
Including the rear brake lever, not quite top spec anymore...
Anyone have photos? I also saw a photgrapher out there, where would those pics be?

The camera belonged a guy called Chris, was driving one of the Harley's.
Not sure if he has put up the pics yet, they'll be on

i had an awesome day, plenty of track time. It was great to see Harleys on the track!!!!!!
I hope the 2 guys who came off are OK, it sounds like the Hayabusa guy has some serious injuries. it just shows you what can happen at 70kms when braking.
I backed myself and went into the experienced group with rashika, we had a good group but boy they wanted to go fast!!!! I learnt lots about lines, more about braking, and I must practice using 2 fingers instead of all 4!!!! I also need to look further ahead and trust that the bike will end up in the right place!
Thanks Kiwiphoenix for the link to the photos, 19 pages of cool photos.

What injuries did the Hayabusa get?
I'm the other guy who came off, fractured wrist. Guess that's one of the less serious injuries one can get on a bike.
Don't forget to bring a towel
Hey dude, hope you're OK. I was in your group with the gray CBR250R.

What a BLAST that WAZ
180 Ks on the track. Learnt lots.
Love the thing that there nothing coming the other way, you have the entire road to find a fastest line and there nothing on the track like rocks sheep horse cars or
The bike went Fab didn’t miss a beat, love the sound of the air box rowing as you get up RPMs, “she’s made for the track”. New EBC Rotors Sweet, Pirelli Diablo held on, well most of the time rear lost some traction a few times coming out of some of the corners not a problem through.
Found that there are places on the bike to rest and set your knee as you hang off, tank is a good shape you can embrace
Couple of moments Fixation is a hell of a thing.
Came into the right hand corner out of the hairpin after passing someone a bit HOTstarted looking at the rumble strip instead of into the corner, made myself turn my head away from the off and to where I wanted to go and what do you know the bike just followed AWESOME what a rush.
All in all awesome day thanks for your words of encouragement Helen and Phoenix. Still Smilling Just
Only downer to the whole day was coming home up the old west coast road.
Three cars do about 80kph had a look around to see what’s up seemed fine one other cars on the road at the time, indicated to pass, pulled out the lead car starts speeding up a tad think not going to play with these turkeys’ speed up a bit more pass and continue to put some distance between me and them, then on come the lights,
Has this sort of thing happened to any of you guys?
Do you know if it is a common practice?
I’m gutted

So the police car was doing 80 km/h and then sped up when you went to pass him - effectively forcing you to either exceed the speedlimit to complete the manouver or abandon the manouver and squeeze back into the group of vehicles?Originally Posted by BBzz

Sounds like good grounds for a formal complaint.
Oh yeah - what a fucking cunt if that was indeed the case!

Yea that’s about it. Didn't know it was the mufti car until he pulled me up.
wasn't any cars behind me no cars coming the other way just the 3 in the group wasn’t the last one (first one I passed) don’t think it would have been the middle one as I didn’t notice it pulling out after me so think it must have been the lead car. Happened at 18:03 lights on.

All ready written the letter post it off Monday

shit... there were a few KBers out there.
bee A arrr ger... heard it and seen it, from what I hear you were going into turns too hot, I looked at the bike after and noted that the tyres are rather shit, I recomentd you get soem BT39's from pit lane.
Red Holden? as that was the same comment I got recently.pulled out the lead car starts speeding up a tad think not going to play with these turkeys’ speed up a bit more pass and continue to put some distance between me and them, then on come the lights,
p/m SD and ask what you can do.
Now as a spectator for the day, you are doing really well. for the old beast you have ya on the case, keep it up.
Now... gota say, the day was run well, and it was good to see the HOGley familey out there wanting to learn how to ride beter, IMHO they need it the most and thats mainly due to have the least best handlers on the road
cheers DD

From what I was told by Dave (the guy from Golightly) it was bruised ribs, a sore back and a busted shoulder. Maybe someone who knows him might be able to give us an update!
How are you feeling?? Hope the wrist heals quickly!
No problems about the linky!

Good man BBzz - I hope you'll get some satisfaction in your case.
But yes, there seems to be a new red Holden mufty stationed on the Old West Coast road. Saw him yesterday as I went up towards Arthur's Pass and again today on my way back. Bloody land shark.
Dave - AKA David Golightly is the insurance agent who handles motorcycle insurance policies for Vero Insurance. Golightly is his surname. A good bastard too.
