The ability to spell correctly is not required to be a good racer. Nor, as outlined here, is it a requirement of being a good crasher.

Im going to stick up for Craig. He has won 2 600cc National titles and Battle of the Streets titles, improbable likelihoods for most.

You need trainer wheels, ever considered sidecars :whistle:

if you gave a caveman a piece of paper and a pencil it would seriously be in doubt that he would design something with 3 wheels. If he did he would need councelling for sure.

[jellywrestler]

if you gave a caveman a piece of paper and a pencil

First thing said Caveman would probably do is use the pencil to scratch in his ear and the paper to wipe his date, both things would've been a more urgent luxury at the time than transport.
Mind you if you demonstrated to said caveman the function of the two i'd put money on it that he'd sit down and sketch Mt Egmont, after all that's where cavemen mostly reside isn't it?

As ever, loads of really useful information has been provided for 057rxz to get amongst it!:facepalm:

The sticky thread in this section IS full of useful information: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/3032-Going-racing-Here-s-what-you-need.

First thing is to join your local club, talk to them and they should point you in the right direction.

Here come the thread hijackers

[wayne]

[jellywrestler]

Here come the thread hijackers

If you're keen Hampton Downs 16-18th march then the following weekend at Taupo, the final two rounds of the New Zealand road race nationals.

Very rarely and even then with such shit numbers you'd wonder why they bother

I thought they just went out to do demonstration laps at every track getting their machines ready for the street circuits....
