The 50

Well I tried. I guess I shouldn't have turned up to the registry office drunk and the ugly fat woman in the moomoo (sure needed to know) changed it to ; mylittlepony.

When I can scratch the $53 dollars up I'll change it back.
To Julian Bakdor. A proud name.

Looking forward to tomorrow and race day.

Well Vale crashed in the 2nd points race re-mounted and finished behind his Nemesis (fast Fred)

We need more entrants in Auckland F5 as the turn out was rubbish yesterday, if it were not for team ESE bringing a spare it would have been pitiful.

Pro's for building an F5 bike

You can chuck an XL/XR/CB100 in a discarded FXR chassis and you have a very reliable bike that will not get you into trouble on the corners
You will be racing against riders who have been at it for years and wont take you out fighting over 17th position
The pace of a good F5 bike with a very good rider on board is not much slower than the same very good rider on his good F4 bike so saying they are too slow is bollox (29s on a 50cc fark)
You can buy an RS50 and build a very competitive bike for not much money ( A grade Tim very nearly took out the GP this year on one )
You can do what I did and buy an ancient Honda MTXR 50 and follow simple instructions and get 14 hp at the wheel
F5 riders are way cooler than F4 riders thus more attractive to the opposite sex
For 2T fans the bikes sound bloody awesome as they rev around 14-15K
They don't use much gas
For the trophy hunters out there you have a much better chance of getting one in F5 as apart from Nathaniel the rest of us are fairly mature

Cons

So why was everyone so wound up about the new rules when nobody bothers to follow them ?

Knee jerk reaction or response to the events of the GP maybe????

**F5 Dave** · 13th September 2015, 10:50

We should make the rule that you have to crash at least once in any long race and practice how to get it done and back on losing the least time and not damaging anything.

Number 21 may be in the mix and #4 will be 18bhp by then, TZee is still fettling away so it could be a fantastic GP with nothing but 2T's buzzing around 14-15k, Mr Fast Ford senior is looking keen on the F5 bikes and we all know he pushes on, he knocked 3 seconds off from race 1 to race 2 by tweaking the carb on Fast Freds spare bike, could be a contender.
Ken needs to get his clutch fixed and F5 Dave should have his mojo back by then, GPR get those bikes ready and make sure the cooling works this time and maybe someone can give Nathaniel a run for his money.
I should invite the European free tech boys although their rules are a bit more relaxed re after market bits, would be nice to see the Jawa's and Conti's mixing it up with the fast Derbi's though.
