Title: Retro/Norths, Dargle 1-6-14
Post by: Nathan S on June 01, 2014, 07:43:13 pm
Was a good day - big thanks to the Baulkham Hills and Northern Districts people who made it happen.

Good, fun grass track. Good-but-not-great turn out of old bikes due to a few of the regulars having real life get in the way.

Random highlights:
New bloke on an ugly 89 CR250 being right up the front;
Kiwi's accent;
Mini-Middo coming to terms with the C&J XR500. Still not happy that he overtook me in the second race :) - then again, the Middos swapped bikes for the last race and last I saw was the young bloke giving his old man a very hard time;
Ando doing his best to take out half the field in the first turn;
Telling Marty to not take a particular line because it is crap - and then seeing him having an unscheduled lay-down on that particular line...

I also rode my 93 CR125 in the O30s races. It was fun. I think I managed to get in the top half of the field in the second race, which made me happy.
Had an amusing moment when I laid it down (front end washout), and was watching the bike slide away from me - looked like someone else's helmet cam blooper tape.

Good fun, got me enthused about MX again.
