OK, OK, so I haven't got a chain on either of them yet. Geez you blokes are picky.
I will be test riding the RM this weekend after the remarkable serendipity of finding someone on the forum to swap air filter cages with. That blew me away.
Now, just 4 weeks till CD9, how good is that? I'm positively salivating at the chance to go to a new venue, to have some great grasstrack and singletrack to ride, and to just soak up the atmosphere. For a whole three days too!
This year I am bringing along the camera and I plan to take a zillion photos. By the way, anyone photographing the action on the track, make sure you get a pic of the RM250T with white sidepanels (although I may just pop some numbers on there too - 53 I reckon). The only caveat - you have to make sure that you get a photo that makes it look like I have a clue about how to ride a dirtbike. Most photos make me look like I'm on my way to the shops for a bottle of milk. In my mind I am slamming into that berm and powering out, but the photo shows me about 5 degress off vertical, one leg dragging and this little puff of dust off the rear wheel...
