    Good stuff! Beware of fan switches, themostats and the front fork brace under the mud gaurd. Also the fuel tap can go kaflump. Take the jets out 5 thou and put a new can on her. If it's orihinal black the paint code is nh1. Mine was black and red back when I got it and it had 24k. Rubber side up and don't let it's lack of power/brakes depress you

    plus this class would spend an almost equal time on most of the differant tracks in nz. so im not spending every other weekend going all the way down to manfield.

    ive been told by some of the older bikers that have been there and done that, that this class would be much better to start with and that i would be waisting my time pouring my efforts into club level ones wich mainly race in mafield and the auck bassed amcc clubs are ok but not enough for serious races.
    Why dont you just go and buy yourself a trophy, there would be no point for you even turning up to a club meeting for the non serious racers (do you even call them that? or do we just ride around?) you would just show everyone up aye ,

    Any ideas for wot could be engraved on the Trophy for Choas? lets let the non serious club racers decide

    the club meeting is purely a test run for the bike and me nothing serious about it.


    ATTN ALL THAT SAID YES TO THE POLL:
    i have it in good word from mark himself, if you said yes and will have a 250 twin 4-stroke ready before nov 1st then we need to talk, like many have said already if we turn up with enough bikes theyll give us a class.

    WELL WE HAVE A CLASS THEY JUST WANT PROOF OF NUMBERS.

    Purely test run?? oh god you are delusional...to have never been on a track, let alone a race and think that club level racing is beneath you is incredibly arrogant and just plain retarded...
    Even some of the best national riders ride club level racing, so what the hell is going on in your head??

    Plus your moaning and bitching about transport when only one round of nationals is held in Auckland, (hopefully Hampton Downs this year!) the other in Manfield the other three in the South Island.
    If you cant afford club level racing how the hell do you think you can afford nationals?


    Just curiously though, and this is a genuine question, why isn't there a 150 streetstock class in the nationals if its so easy to get the 250 twins in??
    There is a much bigger following of 150's, 18 in the vic club round at Taupo and from what I hear they have just exploded down South.

    The 150s run as a support class at the three South Island rounds of the Nationals and are very well supported.The only reason the same doesnt happen in the North Island is the clubs dont support them.However,As I understand it the new 250 class is being introduced too replace the 150s as the bikes are getting old and hard too get parts for.Whether they intend too let the 150s run alongside the 250s till they are phased out Im not sure.There are a number of us working hard behind the scenes too get the 250 rules finalised,But We want too make damn sure they are bang on before the class is introduced,At some stage during this process I will get that clarified and post it on this site

    Nah, I didnt....
    After a sleepless weekend worrying, I got in touch with the "fella' & had a good chat about the problem of the wrong bike & we have come to an amicable agreement....He apologised profusely for the mixup & gave me some money back so Im pretty happy with how it worked out in the end. I do now believe it was an honest mistake (wrong photos).A bit of a fuck up on both our parts, but you live & you learn.Just pleased it doesnt need to go any further. See ya on the 18th,no doubt you'll be giving me the learn

    Before everybody gets carried away and spends a whole lot of time and money for No apparent reason.You should wait for the rules to be confirmed and displayed on the MNZ website as they are talking homologated models only.You will need too check the bike you are buying or preparing fits the criteria and also meets all requirements,As this class will be policed strictly and any machine not fitting the criteria will not be allowed too race.
