2013 National Champs top 3, pick

[Grumph]

For anyone that cares, i am having my first summer holiday with my wife after many many years.

Summer holidays are much over rated Glen....and too much time with the missus leads to trouble in my experience. Nevertheless i hope the weather where you are is as good as it is down here.

Got to practise on friday and had a look at the Wobbly built F3....very nice and seems quite quick too but lack of knowledge of the circuits won't help. And a rider who seems a very nice guy but must be at least 6 foot 7 inches tall.....

Don't know who it was but I watched someone on a 250 prod which looked like a Kawa, backing it in to the hairpin....impressive, one to watch.

General standard of presentation seems up this year too.

Yup, the backing it in is a result of the soft front ends they tend to have.... (It would kave been a Kawasaki Ninja 250R/ EX250)

Great to hear people are taking the Nationals seriously and presenting themselves and machinery well... a great start!

How slow is that Sherriffs fella this year!

[Wingnut]

He really was going well to stay in touch with the Bugman during the NZGP...

Denis Charlett has adapted to the thou extremely well in my opinion also.

Pfft, he's got wins in him yet. NZ1 perhaps still!

Although the race was red flagged, so might have revertd him to position on previous lap. I think that was 8th, behind Ray Clee, who was the poor soal who crashed.

Struggling for Set-Up I think....
The pace was pretty hot for all of them...
Then it is Nationals, and not riding around out front of the Winter Series (no disrespect to the competitors at Club Rounds, but it is a different level).

Aww I know, what a poppet...she was humming, there are just some things you can't save no matter how hard the "try" is given. Glad she was okay and her spirit still rocking on
