YLR was out in full force today. Christchurch might be a bit rooted at the moment but has a wicked track and tons of opportunities to use it.
The team consisted of Buddha ,Jackson and Olly Cotton, Damo, and me. Because we had a garage there were a few others welcomed into the shade.
The bikes were 3 FXRs, an RS50, KR150 and my old TZ250
It was Jacksons big day, his first fang round Ruapuna on his Aprilia RS50, managed to keep it on its tyres all day. Good one Jack!
buckets was mixed with Prolites and Streetstock so the grid had about 40 bikes charging into turn 1. Works Ok I think the best aspect is Buckets give some prolites and ss a hurryup,
Today I took the Sacred Cow to the track, its a 1981 TZ250H, Ive had it for about 5 years and fixed the motor, didnt really want to ride it because it only had racepattern and my brain doesnt have enough space to be able to deal with that especially under pressure, so this week I made a new rearset to run road pattern.
I went out in practice on it , its quite a leap from anything Ive ever ridden no power under 8k, 1st gear is verrry tall, when the power comes in its mentaland it pretty much all done by 10k, I did a few laps but decided to come in early as it had a few issues, like the rear axle not being done up! I think I cant have pressed the bearings in properly and after a few laps had seated properly, just kind of unnerving when the back wheel steps out every gear change.

Nice work.
now you know you have to build a bigger better bike for him
Poor Robert droped his bike twice today
first time in practice (slicks in the wet at Mt Wellington) broke the foot peg and thought that was him for the day. gigglebuton lent him a new rearset and he was off
On the last race he ran off the track hit a big hole and threw it all away. Got the bike going and ran around to the start line to grid up. Found that he didn't have much frount brake and nearly hit everyone. He had smacked the bango? bolt and losened it leaking brake fluid from the master. That was the end of the day for him. He managed a 2nd in the last prelim (out of 4 bikes. one pulled out and another stoped going) and a 5th place in the race. He is a bit sore but smiling from ear to ear

I think we have 3 years to sort out a bigger bike, actually we already have a few spares.
Bad Luck Robert, I dont know how you Aucklanders put up with so much wet riding.
I think we have racing of some sort every weekend for the next month or 6 weeks, dry and sunny Im hoping, although Buddha scored me a spare set of rims for my bucket , just in case.

I thought there was three, as Cully was having lunch, my bike really didn't feel like playing, and Nathanael decided against going out in the 2nd prelim.
I'm glad I managed to avoid Robert all 3 times I've been behind him when he's crashed, and dread the day when I've got nowhere to go.
XL100's obviously need to be charged up for each day's riding, as that looks to be what was wrong with #65.
Ah well, will have the kids beating me again come November/December.
It really is cool to see the young ones coming along. Little Robert has lost some confidence, but it'll come back (you need to build him his XL100).
Oh, Yow-Ling, when your boy's finished with the RS50, I know a good home for it lol![]()
Only an 85 kit? You gone on a diet and eating less pies then? (hmm, guess I better watch out if I ever meet you lol)
