Sunday 125 race. Had a rapidily deflating rear tyre, flat by second corner, otherwise I would have grabbed 8thish place instead of 9thish!

Apparently you can only ride one bike at a time, and hence you should only have one bike.  :(

Retro, Thats a good quality clip, only the sound of the bike isnt as loud as i thought it would be.

Video was recorded on a Oregon Scientific ATC2K which I purchased from Aldi about a year ago for $150.  Probably cheaper on Ebay now as there are heaps more betterer models. Just fun to watch.  Seems much slower than it was on the day though. 

Some times you can even hear me muttering and cursing as it is mounted to the mouth guard of the helmet and gives a really good view.

That is my freakish little YZ125J.  Not a giant killer but soooo much fun to ride and just keeps coming back for more.

Track was awesome and the format flowed well.

Its not just a Race meeting its a great social event , with lots of bike sharing and laughs.

To John (Davey crocket )Tate and Brad (090) Van Barrello for the loan of the bikes and everything you blokes do to make it possible for me to come and ride my favorite track  :)

To my main man Harry (H) Tate  :) tell your old man to get you organised to ride over here at easter. Iv'e got an RM 125B  with your name on it  ;)
