    Go and watch what I have time for and lately that has been - Wanganui road races most years, Oceania moto-x last couple at Upper Hutt and checked out the trials champs at Judgeford a couple of years back and at Horokiwi before that.

    In addition before that and being my age I've been to road races at Onekawa, Gracefield, Lyall Bay, seen the Marlboro series at Wanganui and Ruapuna, the 6 hour at Manfield many times, moto-x at Woodville and many other places even seeing Hugh Anderson on his return from Europe on the 500 Yamaha MX bike he raced in 1973, trials and enduros all over the place and too many other things to remember or to mention here.
    Cheers

    Sweet!! Sounds awesome! I want SC2 on the rear though. You should do the same. SC1 is WAY too soft for the rear (prolly lasts for 1500kms or something...)

    Do tell about the island--I know its insane but my ultimate dream is to race there. I know about the narrow roads and the big jump offs and the high kerbstones --but tell me more.
    Ohh and yea ive been to a couple of races--once apon a time
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Too young? Ahem...there's only 3 years between you - or have I missed something. I find it funny how age gaps are such a BIG thing when you're younger *sigh*

    I think NC30 was kidding then but I find it hilarious too... Specially when I started 4th form when I was 12 and all of my bloody mates were 2-4 years older than me anyway. FF is one of my best mates and he's bloody old

    Edit: Anyway, it doesn't matter if someone is young or old. KK is younger than me but he is more mature than me. Age doesn't mean crap really...

    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.
