« on: 08 June 2007, 12:30 »

Any help would be appreciated.

Google for race tracks in your area, visit their websites, see if any of them offer organised track days?

Is Kyalami still running?  Last I heard, the property developers were trying to build houses on it.

I believe it is still running.

The GTI prob wont even see the track. Its more for my dad and his motorbikes.

He has:

Kawasaki ZX1400 (Blue- Fastest production bike in the world!! :shocked:)
Yamaha R1 (Blue)
Buell Firebolt (Red- Built by Harley Davidson, aka Harley Davidson sports bike. Belt driven, fuel goes in the chassis, oil in the swingarm. roars like a 20 lions on Viagra.) :evil:
BMW GS something or other. (Daily driver, panniers, spots and comfort)

So I figured he would enjoy taking them for a spin.  :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Thanks everyone
