anyone watch the news?, chit this 17 yearold is fast (may even rival two smoker), is he a kiwibiker?

by the way if you didnt see it, he just won the 600cc cup (or something like that), making a new lap record, beating arron slight

No offence to me, but as people have said, he is in another league at the moment... First time racing 600's and was straight into the 59's (setting a new lap record of 59.1) Yes he may have the most powerful bike there (it was proven many a time on the front and back straight) but his passing manuvoures and riding in general was fucking amazing for his age and experience on a 600....

I think i need some time on a 125....

Well, the bike left us completely standard apart form Ohlins and a fancy pipe. As Dave has pointed out, he's one of ours.

I don't whether he had the fasted bike or not - but he can sure ride!
At one stage there were 4 or 5 abreast down the start/finish straight (including the likes of Stroud, Shirriffs, the Aussie, etc) with Smith tucked-in behind with no room to pass, so he went round the outside of the lot using the 30cm or so of pavement between the white line and the grass - just before everyone buttoned-off for the fast righthand sweeper. It was impressive!
