    Yeah I know. But no matter how much time I spend on the track I wont be sure if I can improve etc...
    Also maybe I could just take up a part time job and you could sponsor me?
    My man does so much for me already!!

    Agreed - Don't push your self too fast or else your just get pissed off at yourself at being too slow.

    Its a slow learning process and you probabaly won't be anywhere near the mid-pack guys for a weee while. Espically at Slipways - Its a bit of a complex track, too get really fast at. - Although at first glance it looks easy.
    Some people learn faster, some people learn slower.

    You have the right idea!, A mentor helps heaps!

    Hell no it doesnt! I reckon there is more skill in getting a bike around that track faster than say Manfeild. Well maybe not more skill, but its a different skill and it requires alot of practice to get it right!

    Ive ridden Lukes RG50 and I prefer Ola's Honda 100! Nah, the A wont be ready before the end of the month. Im a bit busy to get in topuch with Dave and get it round there.... To be honest the A needs alot of little things done to it before I'd take her on the track. I need different footpegs for one with the amount of times I was scraping my boots last weekend!

    Im not sure, but maybe by leaning off the bike we wont scrape our boots quite so much? Anyone?

    Thats right, because the bike is more upright, your pegs are higher off the ground
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    I had to move my foot on the peg too so that my toes were on the peg and my heels were tucked up and in. But leaning inside bike definately helped...those motocross boots have to go...they are just tooo damn big and clunky - had trouble changing gears too - not really made for fine foot movements those boots

    Well c'mon, the bucket forum seems to be the place to be for laughs!

    And I'm jealous of all you cool bucket racers.
