Paeroa Update

It was a good- hot day!

Number 22. Jason Eaton- my pick of the day!

This boy was confident, smooth and had some wicked pace. He toyed with some F2, F3 racers! Climbing the racing ladder- I reckon he would be kicking a few butts soon enough.
Did anyone here see him ride?

Saw a few who had chained their entire load of gear, jacket, pants and all, to the bike - never thought of that... :spudwhat:

Good idea though

... and there were quite a few that just left their gear on or beside their bike, trusting no-one would dare knick it.

I know several people who lock their gear to their bike - just run a cable up the arm of their jacket, through the chinbar of the helmet, etc. I just wished I had a lockable box or two; we locked the helmets to the bike (what a farkin flimsy lock - you could easily bend it) and carried/wore all our other crap.

Oyvey, was that boy fast!! Little bloke on a 450cc something. His last race, he would have to have been damn near half a lap ahead by the end. Destined for big things. What was that machine anyway? Tigeraft Minimo....?

I thought I remembered right. While you enlighten the more ignorant (me at least) as to what that bike is etc, can you change that seriously disturbing eyeopener of an avatar. I'm feeling quite queasy.
