Pro-twins

[woodyracer]

Yeah... apparently his Mechanic is very slow..... Can't even get a bike painted!!!
How's this for thread jacking??

Anyway, all the best with Pierower Jay....

Oh, and Max, good on you for looking to step up... But remember that sometimes it is better to work on the cornering speed rather than compensate with more power......

yea i know, but i dont want to limit myself to ss150 bikes, im big enough and strong enough to handel one so why not?
Im not haivgn much fun on the krr150.....its too slow, sure oyu learn cornering but, so does a 650.......i still ride a bucket aswel

Thanks for your support. -Max

Fair enough Max, as you were, carry on.,,,,

Good to hear you still have a Bucket to let loose on.... I mean, to continue to use the art of maintaining momentum.

Not doubting your strength to go to a pro twin at all.... Just that I hear all to often (and I must admit it is from noob road riders) "My 250 is slow and gutless, I NEED a Six Hundred!"
Truth in that case is the last thing they need is a 600! They will just get to the accident faster.....

Anyhow, go hard on your desire for the Pro Twin.

I was being sarcastic.... what I meant was that its going to cost a hell of alot more to move up to protwins when you could still get so much out of SS150....

Settle!

And yes, I know of a couple who have had to pay their own way!

To be honest, ive ridden a 250 twin race bike and it was so much fun i felt like i was in heaven...and a 650 is even better than that......my 150 is realy boring.....it dosnt keep me o nmy toes......and it dosnt let me use my riding abiltiy to its full.... i will never be able ot ride it fast......i prefer my cbr125 even though its 20hp less.......

Im settled i just get sick of people saying "who paying for it" and then i see people my age with 125gp bikes ect.......im only looking at gettign a 05 hyosug 650.....they are pretty cheap.....

Dont ever care about what people are saying to or about you. What you have to think about is what you want out of life. At the end of the day only you know. The comment regarding little bikes, corner speed and riding technique are valid if you ever want to be a "spectacular rider"!

99% of people are supportive.....the 1%ers are the people who have never meet me and talked to me....... i love racing buckets, and ill keep my bucket until i cant race no-more, but i do want ot get the "big' felling, also the numbersi ss150 are very small, so racing isnt tight.....

Thanks -Max

have a good talk to jay about the hyo man. I know hes sponsored but i spent a bit of time up his pipe at teratonga and to be fair, the bike was slow, particularly in a straight line. And this is coming from a guy on a pretty well stock 400. esp considering a slightly earlier SV (last of the carbies im guessing) is likely to be similarly priced and parts alot more readyily about.

you'll have to be smart about the 650 tho, a 125 is likely to teach you things alot more obviously than the 650 ever will. Commuter vs hard core race bike and all that.

monies money. It grows on trees. (in a round about way it does.) if you wanna do it, youll find a way to pay for it.

I dono, it mgiht be down on power, but maybe it was slow because the bike hasnt been tested enough? im not plannign on winning the nationals.....i dont need a bike like that......125gp is too hard hard......even keith biddle suggest 650's.....so it looks like ill go down this path.....

[xr-rider]

max. do ss150s for at least 1 season. going to the 400 has been a big step up for me. the age is 16+ for anything other than a 150 but mnz have told me that you can get a senior licence at 15 which will let you race more than a 150

na, ive ridden big bikes, my ss150 is not right for me, i jsut dont like it, In fact im riding my cbr125 instead of the KRR in the nats because at least ive got decent tires and i feel comfortable on it.

I've been coaching 13 t0 17 year olds for about 7 years now and the ones that learned all they can on a 150 before progressing to 125GP or pro twin do quite well. Of the ones who haven't completed this
"apprenticeship" about nine out of ten fail big time. And it hurt, the pocket, body and most importantly,
the confidence. Woody, if you've got the money for a pro twin, you've got the money to travel about
and put yourself through some tough and skill developing Streetstock competition this year. You're only
15, plenty of time yet. Get yourself down south so you can race with your peers (about 40 of them)
and see if you can win the Sport Fotoz Cup 2010. If you win that, then we ALL know you're ready.
Sounds ridiculous? No, not really, many Aucklanders commute to the SI for Streetstock. Avalon did,
ask her what it's like, and how important it was for her.
Ask your club for support, La Salle Carr (Classic Register) got it to travel down here in January
for the nationals Streetstock support class. He learnt a HUGE amount.
