Ha ha i wish, i'd be lucky to make the final against the A graders - tom jones (sa), roy stout (sa), kevin webb (wa) and crashley watson (sa) there just so smooth.

But i can hope. ;D   We had a practice ont the track last night and it was perfect , hard and fast...... well before i pinned it on the back straight and high sided it, it was.   Cant wait for Sat night going give it the berries for sure, nothing to lose.

PIC just seconds before it spat me off...... but the camera guy turned away at the wrong moment .... Doh ! could have been a good superman moment.

didnt i tell you im on a junior bike ? 125cc is all the 4 stroke i can handle........hehe :D

and yes the seat so low its easier to just stand up for 4 laps, but its higher to fall from. 

YOU only die once,  but can live every day, so Dont give up even if they say it cant be done.  i may look like a peanut but im having fun. ;)

Now in this shot it does look like a mini bike   :-[ :-[

All in jest mate, you're doing better than me.
There was a big Scotsman who rode at the Syd Showground in the 70's named Bill Landells, he always went well and was taller than you.

Ah, I remember Bill well, he was a sales rep for McLeods if I remember correctly and used to come into the shop every month.  He was a really nice guy.
