If you were in America, chances are the police would already be there. And would kick sand in our faces...

Any more events in the pipeline? I've had a gander at the Gymkhana NZ web site but info is scant. Yes, I've been practising...

We're aiming to get another one going closer to the end of winter.

Watch this space.

That's alright, I've been practising in the rain. With a bit of luck I can have a crap again soon.

ahhhh chaps, they are asian drivers

they are just tryin to go in a straight line. None of that turning and shit is on purpose, you know that dont you

**Tigadee** · 26th June 2012, 15:48

Do they use 250s mostly? I'd be willing to give that a go...

Does being asian help because they are smaller/lighter and have small hands (like good for picking kiwifruit)? LOL

Certainly make them wobble around a lot more

**george formby** · 26th June 2012, 15:50

They use all sorts....

No cruisers...

Still, can't wait for LAMS to pick up a VTR250 or something like that cheap...

Thought it'll make the centre of gravity lower, which is good, right?

Weight is a big psychological issue.... I was wizzing round on the wee DT a lot more confidently than on my portly TDM. Just about caught up on the big bike now as my technique improves. A long way to go (if ever) before I can ride like the pro's. Lots of mental hurdles to getting it right but awesome fun & a great way to develop skills.
