    They have a speedway junior class down here which runs 125-250 size bikes, we looked at hiring the local speedway track several years ago to run a Bucket speedway event
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    I'd fully run the GT/MVX 125 in track trim for a laugh!

    Offer storage, and I'll hard tail the MVX and leave it there for drinking sessions...I mean, races.

    I reckon the Mag Mopus on the spare rear wheel would be ideal!

    Oh hell yeah! I would have to build something for that. Has your old man got a back hoe tractor? We could make a sidecar cross track for pit bikes with chairs attached. Alan's one is fuckin halarious...and slightly carnage prone.

    how many trays of piss did you have to buy?

    Image the size of the piss bill for someone that only made it to the first corner (out of the pits for the first time) and flipped....

    Anyway; This is a cool idea Crazyman. at worst case it will be shit and giggles, or it might actually help with riding skills (which I'm lacking in).

    I owe two trays for chucking a swinger off at the HAGD, and Alan owes one for coming off when we flipped. Fucked if I know how he was meant to stay on, but them's the rules.
