Anyone know where they do this and when? I'm keen as to do a bit on the CG even if it is standard and slow it looks like a lot of fun.

Any help would be great.

Also any advice on how to get a few more pony's out of the pulsating wee 125!

Cheers,

Sam

The BEARs winter series starts in a couple of months, that would be your best bet as they only use half the track.
There is a few prody bikes there so ya will have company.

You will need back protector and zipped togeather leathers (or 1 piece & high boots etc) the bike will have to be preped as per the rules (drain bottle and nuts wired up.

Oh yep, so just get some ugly 80's leathers off trademe, and a back protector.

What exactly do I need to lockwire? I can do all that easy as, as I work on aeroplanes and we lockwire everything anyway.

Where can I find out more about this? I heard the bears was non jappa's? My bike is a honda, would I still be able to enter?

You need the sump plug wired up and the ends of the handlebars plugged, clutch and brake lever need to have the rounded ends still on them

BEARS is non jappas but they run bucket and pre72/82 classes at their events

Dont forget the drain bottle, just a 335ml coke bottle will do, jun any breathers and over flows into it.
Reading about ya antics on KB I'd say the track is were you need to head, think you will do ok.

ps: tape up or remove any lights etc.

Enjoy a season on the proddy before you go in search of hp. M/C Cant has a meeting on the 18th but will be the full circuit ( a loooong way on a bucket ). Hope to see the Dangerous one there!
