I had a ring-in, i got my son luke to team up with me for the race..after flipping a coin to see who would take the first leg of the BoB and then swop over at the 30min mark...
I won the coin toss.. so i was SUPPOSE to have gone out first..
But then i had a brain fart and thought... hey, bike full of gas... luke is about 20ks lighter... he should start the race.. do 35min and i will finish off when the bike is lighter and everyone else is stuffed....

stupid fuckin idea....
luke binned on 2nd lap.. braking the foot peg and handle bar......

Dick

I'm a dick for letting him go first
He is a dick for dicking off on 2nd lap.......

At the hairpin? I wondered who that was sliding along that track in front of me

Guy on the blue bike came past me into the righthander after the hairpin ran off onto the grass and just as I thought he'd rejoin the track after the left hander went down on the grass as well

There were some hairy moments in that race all right.

Must ask who almost torpedoed me in the second sprint race, just put it in to the hairpin and somebody shot across my bow and fair flew off the track. Think upon realizing I was a Norfie, there intention was to "cross my T" and blow me outta the water. Don't think they would have come out of that in too good a shape though, they were fair screaming.

That might have been local quick young gun Bailee Perriton, he totally lost his front brake in the 2nd race !
Glad he didn't take you out.

Switchgear on right hand handlebar rotated around so he couldn't pull the front brake in!
Yes he finished 2nd in BOB My son Lewis #73 was 5th.
