Ride 'em hard
« on: April 09, 2009, 04:51:57 pm »
In the weekend we had the final round of the kiwi vmx champs and some of the guys were riding hard, or is this just a different style of bike?  ;)  ;D

Elsie's have such poor handling I'm surprised the rider noticed any difference ;) ;D.

I heard a cr had broken down on the weekend.Looks like an electrical problem. Clearly the coil lead has come off.

and broke the throttle cable too..all in all an amazing coincidence that it all happened at the very same time ;) nothing like getting a few minor bugs sorted out at a major meeting, hope he brought a spare cable and at least the pipe isn't damaged ;D

Rumour has it that someone was seen hiding a hacksaw under the seat of a TM but this cant be confirmed as Bill himself states that he wouldnt even touch a CR with a gas axe ;)   ;D

This has to be staged  :o The front is a perfect cut and old at that ( rusty )

 I think he popped a rib, but otherwise ok. It isnt staged, I was in the race and the bike went down and was hit by a following rider and this is the end result.

That really does look like it's been cut.. I wonder if it was one of those trick frame mods where they cut tubes and altered the steering head angle to get the thing to turn.
