Having been in the field at the practice days I can tell you that the tyres were a shocker, I had 2 sets on at temora and another bike with a scrubbed out set of vee rubbers and they were chalk and grease.
Its easy to stand on the hill and tell everyone how much faster you could have gone but these old rigs are just plain slow compared to the moderns.
The girls were running away from my 465 at Practice and I was flat out.
The first corner in the first race was a good example of the lack of grip, a trafic jam under brakes, big bores were abandoned by most for 250's.
Get down to Nepean and see if you can get around Roy Gay, Darrell, Shaun,Webby, Adrian Brook or even I will give you a good run for your money.
And where are all these trick bikes at the regular meetings?
I read about all these hot rods, see a few pictures of them but never see or hear a cheney, or a champion framed triumph imported special
The sport is the regular blokes on what ever they can bang together to ride on their budgets not some blokes pool room special that gets dragged out on special occasions with some pimple faced kid on it.
Even if you had a fleet of xr750s etc with gun yesterdays heros on them they would have been reeasonably slow without the modern wets, just look at Cam Donalds day with 19" dirt track tyres.
I am pretty sure that whoever you put out there on an EVO with trials tyres would have struggled all day.
I hope the Penrith club gets the gig next year and some improvements can be made.
As far as the dogs breakfast of bikes a couple of them were almost newly prepared and saved for the meeting, please tell me what sort of exotica they should have taken?
how much flasher can you get than the Lorenzi rigs?
The armchair critics are really starting to shit me!
