Kiwi track day

[Keystone19]

Awesome day, just got home.

There was about 20 of us I guess so it was only two sessions. As soon as you got off the track, it was straight back on again! I was knackered by lunchtime!

Good to meet you Ivan, you guys were getting damn quick by the end of the day on those 125s!

And thanks to Steve from www.tyrewarmers.co.nz for riding with me for a couple of sessions, showing me some lines, and giving some really good pointers.

Also thanks to Gary for doing some timing for Cleve and I and helping with my pit stands...

Steve from Kiwitrackdays is doing a great job with these days - I highly recommend them to everyone.

Oh, and I won a free trackday pass at lunchtime, so I'll be there to use it at Pukekohe on Sunday! Yay - thanks Kiwitrackdays!!

Yeah those wee little 125's are a laugh we were going quite quick by the end of the day I ended up getting into a real good scrap in the second one with my own brother, we pulled up side by side against each other down the denny holme (SP) Straight and looked at one another and then his bike just took off, I ended up almost taking each off us out going through castrol into splash lost my line picked it up and almost T boned the poor bugger.

We ended up doing 1:21s by the end of the day still not fast enough but now that steve spotted what was wrong Ill have to harden that rebound, DOnt know if any of you guys were following me and saw it but the bike was bouncing out the corner and sliding on both tires just didnt feel right at all,

I had my near crash in the hairpin when the guy on the Alstare GSXR was behind me, I ended up going into the hairpin leaning the bike over then all of a sudden my knee bangedinto the ground hard and my back wheel came around on me i got flicked up in my seat and hurt my wrist, that was in the second to last session I just ended up backing off because I was too tired the momment I stopped had a drink and rested the pain went straight away must have been my tiredness

Lol - yeah that was fun! Took me by surprise when I realised you guys were right there! And yes, then the brakes kicked in and I was able to open up a little more. Hoping to have sorted the brake problem for tomorrow - had nothing for the first lap and a half and then they seem to heat up and I was away. All very well at a track day but not so nice if it was a race!

Yep. It was a good day and nice to meet you there Ivan. Steve runs a good track day and I will do more. He deserves some support after throwing everything into a venture that will mean more track time for all of us.
