you haven't seen it up close - my welding is sh!t and so is the pipe, but in saying that - it is made to the engine specs so it go's ok. - and yes it started its life as a RM125 pipe, off my MXer then i cut it to bit and made it suit the specs.

the funny think is, the pros do tend to fall off!!

i think it was last meeting at kaitoki we had most the tops guys come off bar JAY (fucken bloody good rider he is) and yes ever F5 dave has had two spills at that track this year one when he got tangled with craig sullivan going up the straight and the second when he low sided coming down the hill past the pit intrance
lol i fell off every race when it was wet and some times twice in a race!! it was quite amusing

cant wait its gonna be wicked fun

oh and day licenses are there

yeah but thats probably that alternator you call a motor seizing when water gets in spitting you off I only come off once there right in front of F5 Dave in practice dont know what happened but it sure sucked some shit through and bike wouldnt run properly for 3 rounds carbs apart each round spotless new fresh fuel and would run perfect round yard get to buckets and it would bog on exit of corner lol funny and then I borrowed Steve Scullions TZ50 and crashed it going down the back straights by the sounds of it it looked a funny crash me running after the bike

years ago... in nelson ..
when i first got into buckets, i fell off every corner, straight, starting the bike... getting out of the van .. before i even started the bike....... but i got better and better.... and soon i could go a whole lap without falling off... then a whole race.... i even won a hill climb...that was held over 3 events!!!!

just ask gav.
i used to run people over

then falll off
i once ran a guy over twice... in the same crash!!!

so just a warning IF i get back into racing ... i mean when i get back into racing..... look out

oh what time tomorrow???
