    Attn Motard riders.....

    I am in the process with speed tech of organising an indoor/outdoor supermoto event in hamilton. We have the venue picked out we had a look through the buildings car park and grass areas today and it looks promising, it will be tight but plenty of fun.

    We are looking at renting the place for a play day for a start to see how it goes (without any dirt section) and if all goes well we will look at organising a proper event

    We are just curious to see how many people might be keen to come give a practice day a shot to help with the cost of hiring the place?

    cool scotty! hey i just got my 450 motard sorted today and followed it up with a big highside out the back of cambridge! started getting a bit cocky got on the gas coming out of the corner i rolled off the gas but the back kept comin around and chucked me in the air haha good thing i had all my gear on!!!!

    Its a bit slow with the 4 speed cause its a 06 model but ill give racing it a go anyway. Any tips on the suspension? stock seems to soft, specially with me on it!!!

    Also if you have a pro circuit and slipper clutch kicking around?

    i ran stock suspension with the compression wound up, but i am sure heavier vavling would be better,

    we have never really needed to hop upa 450, so no pipes hanging around

    its looking good for the practice event, we need approx 15 riders to make it affordable. It will be good to have a play and get everyones feedback on what we can do to make it a decent event if possible, if not we will all have a good blast! will keep ya posted....

    The 4 speed is not that much of a problem mate! Sure a five speeder allows you to run shorter gearing...but it didn't slow me down too much at Wangas.

    The bridge did though.
