    So you can shim the front springs? Cool, make them bind. I dare you.

    yeah we had lots of fun. there was one other 240 twin in the group, a 2002 gpx250 with an aparent 37bhp at the wheel ( we soon made it useless)

    me and ken had the jump on the line. ken raced off with all his awsomeness and i did my best to block the kwaka and give ken biggest gap possible so the kwaka couldnt see kens lines. i was soon passed on the straight though but regained my place through the hairpin and the following corners however it was not enough for the front straight where the kwaka got passed me and all i could do was sit on his arse for the remaining 4 laps.

    3rd every race with a best time of 1.30 ken managed to brake the 1.25 mark with a 1.24

    all the kwaka could manage was 1.28 lol avrage of 1.29

    thats good to hear tyler enjoyed it, he sounded like he was ready for a big bike, he was very confident which is a good sign.

    see you at the TRRS. -Max

    So, I guess that you are now starting to see that as lovely looking as the Hyosungs are, they are a bit down on power compared to the Japanese stuff aye.... not to worry, having someone who runs at a slightly faster pace than you is a great way to improve your skill set...... keep it up!

    no his extra power ment nothing to us off the line i beat the kwaka and ken of the lights and jumped 2 rows of the grid till the f3 flew past down the straights and ken passed me round the hairpin

    i just got to learn to hold my corner speed and balls it a bit more but im not confident in my setup, getting some things changed in the next few weeks.

    at puki and taupo its the torque in corners that make the difrence. and the hyo's have more torque then the gpx. proved this by taking the gpx on the outside on any of the corners. the gpxx only has like 5k/hr on us in acceleration down the straight but we have higher top speed. hence ken's lap time of 1.24 and the gpx's of 1.28

    all i got to do is get faster in the corners. and shaving 2.5 seconds off every 3 races isnt bad. after 6 races over 2 days i went from a best time of 1.36 to 1.30. ken went from 1.28 to 1.24 he said hes not happy with the tires he has got and there is at least another second if not two to be gained with better tires

    The track 2 layout is great, That looong straight to much for my posty bike, I'm hard out halfway down it and if I go taller gearing it's to boggy in the tight stuff
