Rode the thing around the Big Fresh carpark one day, scared the fucking shit outta me.

I raced a few national events with him... he could rearly make 200kph because of the short track length, however 180kph with a bike that turns on a dime... he kick my arse plenty

Yeah, raced at Kariotahi and Gizzy... I sold this to a guy down south once the council slapped $2000 pa resource consent contract that we obviously couldnt afford... so beachracing died, Gizzy still do it and Im keen to enter in this years nationals, I have the remains of a GPz750 beachracer... see how I go.

not like you can buy one like that off the shop though what mods had he done to it other than gearing?

I doubt Peter would give out that info... there was another guy on a KX500 who was just as fast, but I dont think he and Peter ever raced.
Delme Young (Paeroa this weekend) was the beachracing master... one of the best riders Ive ever seen on a CBR600

Ive riden beachracers in Auckland, Gizzy, Opotiki and wanted to race here (it could be done) but there are too many tities to distract you... you need your witts on these bikes, they tend to buck you off

Any 1 to go over 130kms on sand has either got no brain or big balls

That would be bloody awesome!! I want one

I did the last beach race at Nelson's back beach......some PC whale saving pinko lesbian tree hugger ruined our fun.....bring it back i say. Dust off anything with tons of HP strap on a Knobbly and go racing, a Busa would be the No1 beach race weapon.

I question the sanity, 200kph with that front gaurd. My old XR600 at a ton was pretty untidy the front gaurd would tuck under with no warning (it was a good way to keep ya on ya toes).

The gaurd was pretty good...

There was a GSXR1100 in Auckland that consistantly hit 240kph... I was not the fastest by a long shot
