Wanganui report

I was amazed I could be enjoying myself there so much whilst riding so slow.( NO disrespect to others in the field, I expect a lot more from myself than what I was doing)

The bike I was riding has a full MOTEC Ignition system fitted to it, it truly is a dam rocket ship, but some how some where, the fuel and ign mapping has NOT been set properlly, or some thing is a miss with it? and the bike was very very hard to ride, almost Dangerous. Motec is difficult to work with, if you do not already understand it properlly, ( Easy if you do) so I decided to NOT F with it, in case.

I could have used my NZ Spec bike ( Hind sight is a great thing eh) for the other races, but It was to be raced the next 2 days at Taupo, so decided Not to disturb it, nor risk it, as I had committed to supplying it to another rider for Taupo.

So after the second race that I did, I decided that FUN was meant to be for after the races, ( Come in STELLA) NOT during them, so I packed the bike away for another day to keep it and myself safe for the future

Pussy perhaps, But tomorrow is another day, and boxing day next year is already a LOT closer

Thanks to my lady Fiona and the folks the purchased IOM TT Shirts from me, that will help with the NZ Champs budget

Thanks to my pit Bitch DomE Jones.

Good onya mate - discretion is the better part of valour !

I put my hand up for oldest competitor at Taupo but wasn't even close, got another 20 years in me at least ( if I learn not to crash so much ).

Crashing is just a part of the game dude, the important thing is to learn from those crashes
