Good to meet you... not the best night to be out and about.
Hopefully I'll be there next week as well, so come on back and have another go. We're out and about most weekends if your keen to come on out.

Oh yeah, told you I look good and come in handy for holding things (no comments needed here, thank you!) I'm sure Dave would have figured out where it was, possibly whilst we were all at the pub!!

Scenery definitely nice! Sorry Shrek, we still luv ya!

Some average pics of the Yamahard.

**Emlyn** · 22nd May 2009, 19:08

That looks like a few 'wednesdays' worth of work there McWild!

**Gareth123** · 22nd May 2009, 19:10

Is that seat actually comfortable?

**McWild** · 22nd May 2009, 19:41

I'm not really sure it counts as a seat to be honest.

Thats wot I was thinking.....ouch!

but hey!!McWild will be crouched and streamlined with the tank for increased aerodynamics as he desperately tries to keep up with the FXRs

Who needs a seat,this is racing!!!

Yes you do that very well to KP and like Em said McWild got some work to do. Let see you find the header tank on that!!

**McWild** · 23rd May 2009, 12:28

To be honest it doesn't really need any work to it. Just got to get used to draining the bowl after racing so that the oil/fuel mixture doesn't harden in the cylinder, apply some chain lube, and once I can afford it fit a bigger carb.

The photos make it look worse than it is, it's actually in pretty top nick, and runs really well.

I'll have to take your word for it buddy, looks like would be lucky to hit 50KM but what do I know! Look forward to seeing it on the track
