    Maybe I just got myself a wednesday morning bike. :-) Whatever the case i was gutted to miss last years TRRS, and I'm really looking forward to keeping the old girl pinned from turn one to turn five again this year. Roll on December! See ya'll there. Tim.

    Taupo is all about power.


    . . . And corner speed.

    Not much about braking.


    But definitely exit speed.


    So what have I said?
    Well last year in the all-in race (think the one Trudes didn't have a lie down in). I brought my 50 in in 2nd place with a few streetstocks behind me. & some may say my 50 is fast, but it isn't as fast as an FXR & certainly no where near a RG150. So you need a competent rider on a decent bike to do well. Rick proved that point & pushed the envelope by winning F4. The race is still a race.

    However I know why Nigel's bike was seizing & he will have fixed it by now. That's where my money would be.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    aha

    to WIN first you have to Finish

    I got the finishing down packed

    Dellorto I seem to remember your bike bracking down far more often than my 2 smoker

    and also being slower I've had 158 k/h out of mine

    Speedpro is also another contender if the gearbox is up and running
    then there is Ned Kelly (just needs to get his starts down packet)
    Chambers has a much faster bike this year and hopefully no photoes of him rolling around on the track trying to go around the outside of #14
    TZ350 has a lot more power also 20% more so watchout Rick he dosent want this year
    Tim has shown that he can run fast at Taupo
    Keith might just get a better bike (has won before on a team E.S.E bike)

    anything might happen I might just find some skill

    REALLY... so a std engine with 13/14hp is going to haul your 92kg arse around just as good as your bike for example which is maybe 19/20hp?

    You need to remember how fast you can go on a 14hp bike when u only weigh 55-60kg

    Well you are mid field, so I guess on a stock motor it wont change things that much for you for you

    I agree with you on that point!

    No two bikes are the same in any case, so not sure what your point is here!

    Hauling arse on your modified motor? ugggg the contridictions!

    Your bike is one of the quicker FXR's here, it should be finishing in the top 5 at every race, yet man mountain Buddha keeps you honest on his fairly stock engine bike... what exactly is happening here? I think you need to stop worrying about your knitting and ride harder like you used to do!

    Take the Motard and do Wangas on the way
