hey! you taking the piss outa the "hillbilly deluxe"????
You know it was one ofthe fastest bikes out there! Next meet itll be even faster... Softening rear shock spring to avoid the stoppies i was doing and working engine even more! Roger wont stand a chance! By the way... The sporster tank may look strange on the 400 impulse frame but the seat is truck retread, not car tire! looks can be deceiving it would seem! Watch out... youre racing that bike next time when my fiancee starts racing novice class. Have fun and keep the shiny side up

They made it so gutless and smoky I removed them from then onwards. After two practice runs the first race was held. Was very enjoyable and interesting as it was the first time I've ever had a go at proper lines and passing on tarmac. Won the first race and was pretty damn stoked with that. Made a few adjustments to the bike (gear lever angles etc) before heading into race 2. Race 2 started out great but was passed on the second lap for the first time. Couldn’t catch him on the straights as he had way more power (145cc-4 stroke over my 100cc 2-smoke) ended up second in that one. 3rd race and I was rearing to go, finished 1st again (I'm pretty stoked by now) although the Xr 100 was giving me a hard time, but I had no intentions of letting him through. 4th and final race started. Me and the guy on the 145cc side by side at the line. Having more power he shot into the front, only to take the first corner too fast and sliding off (nothing major), braked heavily avoiding his ankles and moved at walking pace between him and the bike catching my boot between his rear tyre and the bike. Continued on but race was re-started. Re-started and made a clean run coming first again. Competed with XhardxcoreX in the 16 lap endurance as a team and were coming 3rd until it began raining and caused an off (rider ok just a sore knee). Stopped riding to give him a hand and called it a day.

Was absolutely stoked with how the day went and look forward to the next meeting

.
Cheers to XhardxcoreX, MSTRS, yungatart, and Gixxer_4_ever for being there and helping to make it all happen for me

And as for those mini moto's, Damn good for a laugh between races

hell you guys are getting soft!!!!!!

back when i was racing , if it rained ... we got wet... we didn't run for cover , we just carried on!!!!
and if you fell off, YOU had to get out of the way .. NO-ONE stopped for you!!! i should know, i fell off ALL the time (just to see if i had any mates, that would stop for me.... well they didn't... or i had no mates

)

so toughen up get out there in the rain,, NEVER restart a race...unless there is TOOOOO much blood.... go hard!!!
have fun!!

It wasn't like they wanted to stop-they were just getting started! race marshalls/boss types stopped them-the boys could not disobey(on a/c that they have been brung up proper like)

I have no problems with the "hillbilly deluxe", in fact it inspired me to follow along its lines in building my next bucket

, big step up from my 2-smoke with drum brakes! I'm totally looking forward to being able to brake later etc. What im happy about is that the A100 is so reliable and doesn't perform half bad for what it is.
Should make for a competative next meet.

see you there
