Did about 7-8 runs of that last time. This time was a little shittier.. not as many stunters. I wasn't going to pull any stoppies as I just replaced the rear shock :/

Apologies for my non attendance Bruce, been riding all day up north and arrived home late, sounds like it waz a good turnout...all for a good cause too!

And as for the stunting, c'mon Trashman, you know that everyone only went down there to see you mate! Cos you're our (well Big Daves actually) hero!!

I'da been out there but I promised The bikes owner I wouldn't destroy her bike.
A tadd upset I am with the rear tyre though--I just don't understand how it lost traction so badly

**skidMark** · 6th February 2006, 21:52

your hand got stuck on the front brake and in your attemptets to get it free you keep bringing up the revs so you realeased your left hand to take your right hand off the front brake but forgot it was in gear....and it all went south from there LOL

For all those that weren't there, and an excellent excuse besides being afraid of screwing up my gorgeous bike.

Pictures... 3 of the guys at Hells, 2 of White Trash doing his stuff

and some sex on wheels.

If we have the nights earlier, I could get better shots, the lack of light was a nightmare.

Nice Duc.. who was riding it.. by the looks of it it was Dover! Those chicken strips give it away

**Gremlin** · 6th February 2006, 22:04

Some more of guys being unable to keep traction. Really, experienced bikers, you'd think they could manage to maintain traction when moving the bike eh??

edit: Big thanks to LB for organising it... he even knew me... but under.... errr.... less fun moments

I'll say. Especially with the extra weight of baby bikie on the back

It's a pity there wasn't any 250 drag racing this time, I enjoyed it last time.
I got a few pics, most of them blurry due to trying to compensate for the low light. I've got to learn how to use the flash properly.

There was a huge turnout, even though most people didn't stay long for the stunting I think it was a success.

Gotta admit, with so many people I tend to just talk to the folks I know.

That scooter wheelied pretty well

Wish I could say the same for me on the Zeal! After taking the photos, I tried doing a few wheelies. I reckon I must've been not on the game. Or maybe it was adjusting the clutch or not revving it enough... Anyway, I ended up mostly just doing a series of small bunnyhops down the street

But managed to get the wheel up a bit higher a few times.
All good fun though

and yep, I reckon it's the best place to learn.

more pics to follow

Nice to see so many bikes in one place and got to meet a few new faces as I knew absoloutely fucken no one.

Next time when the bike is run in ill be willing to drag some other 250's, nearly everyone has the notion that GT250R's are sluggish!

Cheers Bruce, good to meet you.
