working at a CanAm dealer in Rangiora I believe ....... his advice will be strap on some sticky rubber and ride the thing !!!!!!!!!! His is so standard it hurts !!!!!!!!!

Yep he does work at Can-Am dealer in Rangiora............. soooo true about his riding philosophy Budda

One set of tyre for 5 nat rounds...rain or shine......... 13 wins from 14 starts........ at least 3 lap records.
A geniune talent......and entertaining too

Ands that on at least 10/12 race old rubber........... imagine if someone bought him a new set ...even every two rounds

He aint afraid to push it to the falling off stage either

Talking to him at the weekend and he really wants to give the 125gp class a crack. Gonna put him on our protwin later in the year to see how he goes too.

**puddytat** · 14th April 2011, 17:30

Yeah Swerve he can certainly ride that ninja,& a 1:41 on someone elses 1098 wasnt to slow either...

He did mention tnat he was looking to sell his ninja to move on up too...

Thats one of the real beauties of the Class Merv - simply dont NEED new rubber all the time ....... Jared Pykes Min Jar did 15 DAYS racing before any discernable dropping off performance-wise, and another 2 DAYS before he changed to new uns

Not naming names, but they were the same brand, strangely enough. Same brand that Billies Hire Sungs ran this Champs too ...........

**SWERVE** · 15th April 2011, 06:20

I know which brand they are Budda

......... same as many 150,s run too now (is there a tyre/size for the 250,s available from other suppliers)
And yes it is fantastic that you can be a champion/record holder on one set of tyres . My point was that Seth had set a new record at manfield on very secondhand tyres ..... imagine what his times might have been with the confidence of fresh rubber........ but saying that he will probebly do the sth is winter series on the exact same set

and win

Pity the bikes arent more affordable for a 13/16 yr old........... but im sure as more road riders crash them the prices will fall. I refer to kawa ninjas......... as lets face it the "ho-bags are cheap but no match for the ninja on a track (sorry Billy)

With these bikes getting there own WSBK support class this year and 2 of our youngsters competing its a shame that we cant jump on the bandwagon and find a way with the importer or other funding to make a grid of these bikes (that kids/parents) can afford to fially showcase nz,s incredible junior talant .

I know .......... we already tried......... dont want to start another junior debate.
But it is a shame
