Cool. You want to get sorted as there is heaps of events and SMCC talking about a proper motard track being developed. If you can get to Teretonga by the 12th July the Dunners guys will be there and the southland crew are friendly too. I started off with standard bike on standard rims and a 21inch front wheel before slowly getting the bits sorted. If you want to get stuck in straight away and you have trouble getting a 21in front tyre I can lend you one for a few meetings.

hElLO twotyred

screen came off a vtr 250 i think... some thing like that, came from bucket, n, bits. bike wreckers. lower hutt.

i think it has made a small differance, it sends bug up to my helmet now.

i took the white sticker off the light cover, and painted the top black, i also painted the suzuki on the screen, air brush. enamal pant

the tank was a big blank space, so i added the adv and dakar to it first.
then added the palm tress later.

i made printed drawings, carefully cut out what i wanted and then used my air brush and enamal paint, and a good thinck layer of armour oil, to help protect it.

even the water blaster wont wash it off,,, cool.

i know its a bit tacky, but i lkie it....

My first race meeting on my wee bucket at Levels last Saturday and finally got to meet and watch GaZBur on his DR!

What a great sight to see the bike doing very well mid feild against some very high $$ motards

.....now I might be able to get some gsx250 wheels....how great would it be to have twice the races!! ....
