Good to see all the Kbers at the trackday today.

Was most impressed with Meeky Mouse! That girl is a natural! Could see her grinning from ear to ear and she lost her chicken strips and even scraped her pegs!

Well done Jaz!!!!!

Hehe thanks

although I sorta could cheat with the peg scraping as my pegs are so low, still a heck of alot of fun though

Couldn't of done it without all the advice and support!

So who's got pics?

**R6_kid:Me** · 25th November 2006, 09:10

i've got video.. but need a better computer to load it to so i can edit it.

was an awesome day despite the few niggles i had with my bike. The M1's held up pretty good for the last few sessions, but it sure does go to show how far tyres have come in the last 2 years, and that having good tyres really does make you a more confident and faster rider.

Not going to do a full write up on it, but I will say i had a great time, held up well in the fast group (i thought anyway), that Ross King is a little bit fast though...

Hope those that came to grief mend up quick, and with a bit of luck the monetary damages will be minimal too.

Cheers MotoTT for organising the day, and Waylander, cheers for those knee sliders, would've been getting skin grafts without them!

I know I said I was planning on snapping up a few shots but it was so damn dusty I decided against it - also when I'm there to ride I can't really be arsed taking pictures, it's too much effort and rush to get any decent shots especially while you're in full leathers.

Though motoTT's professional photographer was there for the first two session IIRC, so I'm sure those photos will be up for sale soon.

had a great day
got the learn a few times, thanks Paul
had ago on a few different machines, the best being a gsxr600k1 with ohlins bits - i want one!!
the track was in pretty good nic apart from the dust

pit lane is a building site and with a six week deadline they are gonna be pushed to complete it!

nice work by: Meekey, we could see your grin as you zipped past

Gareth, kinda hit a low point when the bike landed on you eh? still, could only get better from there lol
Gixser / Rusty, fast and smooth, good shit man.
Superdave, getting faster each time, keep it up.
Saul, was cool watching you and Rhys battling it out, he was getting pretty quick eh!
Eman, what an effort pushing that RF all that way when you ran outa gas, couldnt have done that myself....
Waylander, not something we see everyday... a vmax getting a workout around a track. Respect.
Scott, was gutted to see the prillia so banged up, i hope the insurance works out for you

Darrel, great to see you back on 2 wheels and having blast. Good shit man

Steve, buy a jappa.
Death, get well soon man.
To everyone else, thanks for coming along, sorry about the dust, at least it didn't rain until quite late

Photos should be ready early this evening

Great day weather held up well, shame about the construction with the dust etc,, thought the track was a little slippery in places, maybe due to some of the grit on it. but most of that blew away during the day

was great to meet Kicking zebra and kiwifruit and several others,
also good Brett/quasie made an appearance, probably to check out his awesome tent (i want one)
had an exracer give me a few tips, (jay davies -goodall) advice came in handy so cheers bud,
Andy aka (death Inc) pushed hard, nice lines very smooth, (as he is pulling further and further away from me.....

.) something tripped him up, but probably beyond his control, maybe something on the track, i myself saw some bits of rubber etc lying around,
Chris haldane was kind enough to provide me with some dunlops, oh yea have faith, they are the shit""""!!!

looking forward to the tenth now GSXR's day here we come!!!

**R6_kid:Me** · 25th November 2006, 14:42

what happened to SN4PED and JSG? Never saw them at the track.

Yeh that was fun, I was suprised how fast the little bugger got actually

I was happy to be hitting consistant lines and working on some thinking type riding.
Very happy with the bike the brakes are fantastic, but I have lots to learn. Having trouble getting my head around the revvvvvvy thing.

I thought that R4 rode really well and looked very smooth

Some good laps by KF as well.
Lots of good people there Steve the guzzi guy, the chap who was riding the black 750 in the morn he was looking good out there too.
Eman as well had that RF humming

Blah blah blah Great day

Was a great day and was awesome to try and keep up with some of the faster guys in the fast group. Looking forward to GSX-R day on the 10 as I'm getting my suspension set up by Shaun tomorrow, it'll be interesting to note the differences.

I convinced my old man to come along on his GS500. He had a blast.

Bring on them photos, though it looked like the photographer gapped it after two sessions?
