    I started racing again in 2004, so not me wanting it shorter mate.

    And you know as well as I do it was a new outfit we'd done a total of 12-14 laps on, after blowing a motor in practice

    Of course if you weren't running an oversized motor the results might not be quite as good

    You don't have to be race fit on a LCR anyway as they're so ergonomically perfect and easy to swing on

    Kicky, what about the year before.... we were 9 seconds faster a lap than you back then too......
    Of course if you weren't running an oversized motor the results might not be quite as good
    Back then also, we had standard pistons and cams... Still within the rules of 1300cc too.

    Mate, you can exchange feet now Kick!! You've just sealed your fate sunshine You have just admitted that you are unco and a fat lazy b@stard!!! .... and don't have to raise a sweat on those LCRs.......

    No wonder you can eat so many pies........

    Nahh actually its a pretty cool game. I give em a half lap head start and give chase. Once I catch the last one then we turn around and go back the other way.

    The oldest one is getting to be prety darn quick. Its taking me 6 laps to catch him

    Poor fucken neighbours!
    Slighty can't be that fit I've beaten him round lake Taupo on a pushy a couple of times. Anyone I beat aint that good by definition.
    For most racers losing a stone or 4 would be the best start. Fat makes you overheat, and fucks your power to weight ratio, which is what you need to work on. Training: Circuit-style `muscular-endurance style weight-training (you won't get big if you don't eat more), dirt-bike riding at 80% so you don't crash, and cycling for cardio. When racing your heart is stressed - if it's not used to sitting at say 150 bpm your brain and body won't function @ the `full' 60%.
    If you had one training option i'd say mountain-biking would be it. And press-ups. Oops thats 2.
    No sex tho - you want to be angry.

    no sex?!!
    sex is the best cardio exercise! seriously!
    but cycling is also good.

    Troy Bayliss is quite the cyclist and does alot of kms on the pushy and could do well in bicycle racing. He also hits the weights.

    In the gym I would sets of high reps (20-30) of squats alternating with leg press, followed by press-ups or bench-press and throw some ab work in as well.

    It wasnt a new outfit by the time we came back for the truck meeting & were given a 70 second handicap in the last race & still won it with a fairly safe margin.

    Y'all misinterpret.

    I actually meant to say you should buy lots of beer, burbon and pies.

    But by that I mean, walk, jog or cycle to the store, carry it all home, stack it in the shed then head back for another load, over and over.

    But I guess that would phuck the race budget.

    Sounds logical. I am young in mind but reguarded as old by some of the people i ride with/against. I do stretch my back and neck before a race but should we actually go through a full set of stretching exercises before a race so we don't tear things when we bin. Other athletes and sportsmen stretch before exertion. From what I see the average number of bins in motard class around here exceeds 1.5 bins per person per year. Some crash much more than others(you know who you are!). So what should be stretched to prevent injury?

    Frosty a real good question to ask now I thought - lots of racing on here now.
