GSX

Helmet, motorbike gloves, keys and a packet of cigarettes!

And a.....

GSX-750

Not an ordinary GSX-750...

Leon's GSX-750

Yes, it's a road bike suitable for racing. About 120 hp (1992 model), 11 second standing quarter at about 130 mph, top speed of about 160 mph. Not bad for the water cooled DOHC in-line 4 cylinder, 4 stroke,  4-valve engine.

Stunning lines for a '92 road racer...nice one Leon!

Jenny thinks so too!

Oh well, back to business...put the gloves on and outta here!

Superbikes at Ruapuna 2015

What a hectic weekend.
Soul searching, late nights, broken toes and fingers, stripping one bike to make the other run - the Red Baron Team.

Last minute adjustments

A dedicated effort by dedicated racers and their teams

NZ Superbike Champ Denis Charlett broke a finger and a toe on the Friday, but came out of it with two wins and two seconds on the Sunday. A long weekend in anybody's standards! 

The final superbike race of the weekend was also the NZ Grand Prix. 

James Smith on a Honda CBR-1000RR started well and held the lead for the first 4 laps. Charlett on his Suzuki GSX-R1000 slowly pulled him in and took the race in trying conditions.

Christchurch boys James and Alastair Hoogenboezem dominated the 600 Supersport class.
