NSR... mate delete ya post that says the 8th, can get confusing.

Kick, if you had ya ears on at the last bears meet, they said it is to be the old track... but run in reverse, means nothing to me but I'll be there... yeeee fuking haaaa, ohh and no doubt the info given will change again. :niceone:

[Kickaha]

I did listen and they said the road closures had not been confirmed as they were had only just applied for them :finger:

Dont you flip the birdie at me mate, that will just provoke me to kickaha ya arse at Nelson..... ohh what the hell I'll show you the way around anyway, well till you blow something up. :not:

Ohh yeah I remember them saying that too, it was the meet before that they said what the track will be but as I said its most likely to change a nother dozon times. :drinkup:

So you are lending him a bike then ?

Funnley nuff...... I'd like to ride it myself, that make a change so hopfully Kick will pull finger and be sorted by then.

BTW seen as I havent ridden the MT yet I am thinking of doing the Canty day on the 30th.... you keen?

[gav]

Hey D, why do you call it an MT?

[Kickaha]

So you are lending him a bike then ?


The DR150 overbored stroker motor should be a runner by then so Dangerous had better hope I do blow it up as it's the only way he will beat me

[dangerous]

Hey D, why do you call it an MT?
Because it was built based on the GP bike of the 70-80's the Honda MT125gp, which ran the Elseanor CR125 engine... as did my bike in the 80's, even won the Nationals, now powered with a MB100 :niceone:

atached is the 77- MT125gp

[gav]

Jeez, they're cool photos, where did ya get them ? :whistle:
Sorry, my bad, I thought your frame looked nothing like that and was some home built welding exercise.....no factory would send out a frame with welds like that on it, and yeah, it might have won a GP or two, but Steve Ward could probably have won on a standard MT125 trail bike!

Gav, are you in one of your shit stiring moods :rolleyes:

The frame is very similer... be it 20yrs old and been down the rd more times that you have eaten a steak pies.... it has been moderfied (butchered) to take the MB bucket motor..... but you know all this dont you :brick:

Ps: the MT50 was a trail bike, not to be mistaken for the MTgp bikes

[Kickaha]

It must have been down the road a hell of a lot then :lol:

[TonyB]

When Bren and I rode past the port on Thursday there was a transit sign out saying something about a road closure. Shoulda stopped to read it... NSRpaul- want to go and have a read of it? It's on the bypass just before the roundabout if heading in from Rai Valley

[gav]

Yip!

[gav]

Really? Do I know you? I was on the founding committee for the Nelson Road Race Assn, worked on holding the first race at the Port and the road race held at Golden Downs.

I've only raced it the last two years but unless the layout has changed I couldn't see any problems with it, it was certainly no worse than Greymouth or Hokitika

The course change last year cutting out the roundabout was better than the year before though

Did you run the bucket last year?

thats ok , you should have really kicked my arse , tried a standard barrell on my bike the other day instead of the butchered one on there and it made heaps more power
thats right my bike was puss and I still beat you in the second race blah , blah :apumpin:
seriously tho , look forward to doin it again if I'm racin , if not I'll still be there and I'll catch ya in the pitts
and watch out for those classic guys , got tangled in one of them last yr

Anyway, would be good to know for sure what is happening in Nelson so I can plan to do it (or not)...
