Who is racing the Auckland two-hour?

I dont know that one but if you can get 3 people riding the same bike doing at least 55 min each in the 2 hour you will be ok

you need a time keeper and a flag marshal as well so a team of at least 4
but only 2 riders
and at least 2 other crew

well one for the timekeaping and to keep John happy a flaggie as well
but we only need 5 flaggies total but the more the merrier

ha sweet, I'll wipe the dust off my time machine to get the 3 man team going.

Team of four, Two Riders, a Time Keeper and a Flaggie.

Each team has to supply its own time keeper (a must) and someone to help as a flaggie (an expectation), it could be mum and dad or girlfriends or even boyfriends if your that broke back mountain kind of rider.

I reckon FXR's are a great way to start. They only need good tires to to get going with, so you can concentrate on developing riding skill and then improve the FXR's handling as required.

HP at Mt Wellington doesn,t count for as much as handling and riding.

Watching your post Ive become convinced an FXR is a smart choice. But once you start looking for more HP I expect the cost will go through the roof.

unless they change the rulz again and let the 4 strokes and you'r out brigade go to 200cc

**speedpro** · 19th October 2008, 19:09

That'd be the "dark side" at it again. Rather than letting bigger and bigger 4-strokes into racing why not make those who want to go fast ride a 2-stroke?

but wanna have a go,
you are more than welcome to join me,specially as i haven't ever raced before

**SHELRACING** · 29th October 2008, 21:48

I think my nephew, Chris, is looking for a second rider.

He rides a 2 stroke RX125.

he lives in Kaiwaka, which is'nt too far from you.

**SHELRACING** · 29th October 2008, 21:55

I dont think me and Falloffalot will be coming.
If we do come up, one of us wont be riding due to falling- off- a- lot.

**piston broke** · 29th October 2008, 22:07

You got an AX100 - you poor guy. Here's a long thread on my experiences. Have a look in my Bucket Album too. Another KBer with an AX100 is Trudes. Gearbox is a big issue in two ways. One it's a 4 speed, the other is when hot the gear change misses. Fresh clean good quality oil is the answer.
