Taupo Track 2, 2 November

**richban** · 23rd October 2013, 17:52

After missing some events I am looking forward to racing at Taupo. Its Round 6 of the winter series. Saturday November 2nd.

Come along and race all in with the development class. You know you love track 2.

Prepping the bike I thought I would change the oil. I found 9 very small needle rollers. After some side cover removal I discovered my clutch thrust bearing had self machined its self into a new more efficient style bearing that no longer needed the rollers. Opps. All fixed and ready to go.

I'm keen (but you already new that).

now just have to shake the piggy bank and see if there is enough left over from last weekend at BOB....

I can scene that wifey might not be too happy (give it wasn't on the agreed race calendar)....
and all saved Brown points have been used to purchase new toy.... Yip another bike added to the fold (TZ250 4dp!!)...

I've entered so get off your asses and lets make this a massive event (with the biggest field). It was sooo cool being in a big pack at BOB; just like the GP's old; this could be the same..

4dp is like a 94? Awesome! I have a mate with a 97 in his lounge where its been for 7 years. its beautiful. I've spannered it at a couple of meetings & great to work on.

No chance of maknig this meet. Bike won't be together & hard for me to get Sats away. Sun I will however be riding the dirtbike for first time in 3 months. Yay Spring/summer!

hmm, I was close to it but I've decided to get the bike a bit more 'stable' before subjecting it to a big track meltdown.

The Moto 3 was crazy, eh! The small bikes are best!
