Sitting here bored to (near) death with my knackered knee (not bike related), I think it a good time for a bit of bragging.....
Took Grace to Harrisville on Saturday for a blast around the mini track on her CRF100. It's been a while since she rode there, we've been going to Ardmore a lot and some quite long trail rides, anyway, she went out in the "B" group like usual, but this time she was way faster than everyone else, so I bumped her up to "A" group where the only riders to pass her were young adult (I use the term loosely...) males on hot mini bikes. I noticed that by moving to the "A" group we had got in sync with the main track "B" group of which there were only a few out in the last session, so I asked her if she'd like to try a careful lap on the grown-up's track. First lap was pretty cautious, but soon the poor little CRF was valve bouncing everywhere.... Apparently she's not going on the mini track again.......She gets her KX85 this week :woohoo:
Pix one and two on mini track, three and four on Main track. (It was dusty and there was no wind on Saturday, so rather difficult to get clear pix)

Crikey she has come a long way in a very short time.
Maybe look at the likes of a CRF150? Then she keeps the 4 stroke power delivery she knows with a fair bit more poke.

Oh a CRF150R not X. I didn't clarify.

Didn't consider the Honda for long......
CRF150R
HONDA MotoX
Price: $8150.00
Bloody near double the KX, she''l have to wait till she gets a job if she wants one of them... Besides, Scott doesn't have them, eh?......:rolleyes:

i hope you got her a new kit in kwaka green.
A mate of mine watched her blasting up the steep section through the forest on the MR Motorcycles trail ride a couple of weeks ago and was most impressed. She's very handy on the track and trail.

so when should we start taking bets about her getting burns on her left leg?
(sorry to be negative, just taking the piss out of kawa for being backwards)

GR81 is lucky that he is now longer in the country, as he would be getting lapped, as he takes another one of his so called breaks, on the side of the track.
