In the weekend we had the final round of the kiwi vmx champs and some of the guys were riding hard, or is this just a different style of bike? ;) ;D

wow that's different!! :o the lower break appears to be clean cut, I'd suspect sabotage!! ;D
-
Elsie's have such poor handling I'm surprised the rider noticed any difference ;) ;D.
-
I heard a cr had broken down on the weekend.Looks like an electrical problem. Clearly the coil lead has come off.
-
Brad, I believe he ran out of petrol too.
-
What a genius using buried Honda's to prop up fences........only in NZ
-
and broke the throttle cable too..all in all an amazing coincidence that it all happened at the very same time ;) nothing like getting a few minor bugs sorted out at a major meeting, hope he brought a spare cable and at least the pipe isn't damaged ;D
-
Was TM Bill in the vicinity when the incident occured?
-
Rumour has it that someone was seen hiding a hacksaw under the seat of a TM but this cant be confirmed as Bill himself states that he wouldnt even touch a CR with a gas axe ;) ;D
-
:o how is the rider? badly injured?
-
This has to be staged :o The front is a perfect cut and old at that ( rusty )
-
I think he popped a rib, but otherwise ok. It isnt staged, I was in the race and the bike went down and was hit by a following rider and this is the end result.
-
That really does look like it's been cut.. I wonder if it was one of those trick frame mods where they cut tubes and altered the steering head angle to get the thing to turn.

Got it in one.

How'd he get through scrutineering with the side stand attached? ??? ::)
-
That must of hurt, Its not the same CR250 that Dirttracker is selling....

It is so thirty years ago over there. I cant believe what they get away with compared to here. There is no governing body jumping down their throat, they just do their own thing. Side stands everywhere, kids riding mini bikes,no scrutineering, MA would have a fit!
They dont have the numbers to have a pre78 class as yet (soon will have), so i was confused watching bikes line up for pre 75 thinking, thats a 75/6 bike in there. They do things a little different over there with their classes.

Hey Brad how did it feel to be back in the good old days of turn up and race with no "PC" crap to deal with and 30yrs ago is a little on the big side(you would have been to young to drink everything you did if it was 30yrs ago ;) ), better make it 29yrs ago, at least that way we wont feel so left behind ;D . Yeah we probably do do things a little different here but at the same time why make life/racing complicated ;) after all its just "Kiwi Time", no stress, no problems, no big deal, she'll be right mate, its all just the same fun on dirtbikes whether it's here or anywhere, but yeah I know what you mean about the kid on the TS90MX ;) ;D ...... It was funny the morning of the racing and I could see that John and Brad were wondering when we would get going to set up and start the day but with the track only 15mins away there was no rushing around or having to get on the road early. The only rush was from the pub to the prizegiving and that was a light hearted affair with most of the prize winners taking a good roasting from their fellow competitors(all in jest). I hope we will see ya back again soon ;D
