Finally made some progress towards doing some dirt track. I got the YZ125 sorted - 18" rear wheel and Michelin tyre, new piston and a few little odds and ends. So I took it out to the ACTMCC dirt track practice morning last Sunday. A little rusty to start with but soon felt reasonably at home, and by the end of the morning I was starting to generate some speed. Too tentative to really hook it into the tighter corners but had a ball holding it flat up the hill through the big sweeper. Man that is FUN!! The little YZ seems to have some poke - I managed to latch onto a KX250F and found I had just a little more than he did up that hill and managed to get by him, so the bike is competitive. There's a club day here in 2 weeks so hope to make it out there for a ride. Love that dirt track!
Now, if I can just get the 75 RM125 running in time, I'll take it out to make up the numbers in the old bikes class.
BTW, ACT racers may know who he is, but there was a guy there on an RM500, #771. I saw the bike today at the bike shop in Tuggers. Whoever was on it was going pretty quick, looked and sounded brilliant...
