Mind you, he has to last the race distance, and stay upright, and not get black flagged. They've all been a problem at various times.
    I have it on good authority, said person went out with the intermediate class and creamed the lot of them. Sad day if you were the R1 rider aye !!

    Loved to have seen it

    He's fitted a fresh piston as the one he had at Taupo was a bit old and past it's best, losing a couple of horses. Honest, that's what he said today.

    I liketh your thinking!!
    I usually attack racing with the motto of "I won't win by my riding ability or because my bike is fast and nimble, so I will play the attrition card and hope everyone else falls off or breaks down"..... or I could cheat!

    I think once you see how slow I am you'll see that special drink would be wasted on me, unless of course you're offering an unspiked bourbon!

    Well, I wasn't last, I was second last, I beat my hubby, lapped him even (much to his disgust, that won't be happening this time... ) And yes, I got a certificate, for being the second woman to finish, I'm very proud of that!

    and given that 45-ish started and only 22 finished I would call that bloody good staying power!
