Short track racing

Will the nickname "Bubba" be appearing in your signature now?

Blubbing more like....especially when my legs seize up.. I was struggling to get out of the car when I got home!

But I can thoroughly recommend it as a great way to explore the limit of grip and lean angle on a bike and get involved in shoulder banging races at less than 40mph.

No front brakes, get the steel slider planed onthe ground and tip the bike over (you sit bolt upright and push the bike down) get the back end sliding on the rear brake on the entry to the corner and then back on the throttle to keep the power slide going. After 10 laps you have to stop as you are knackered!

Sounds like a fun day mate, glad you enjoyed it. Do you see it replacing trials as a passtime?

No don't think I will be swapping it for trials, the circuits are too far away and to race they use 450s not the little 223s, so that would be scary on the indoor track, but it sounds like a cheap form of Motorsport

Only photo I got !

my mate Les but it was his last loop before he pulled in so he was running out of steam!

This was at the begining where we were being taught to go round a small oval in 1st gear and get the bike over as far as we could. after this the made us do it with our left hand on the petrol tank to help us focus on body position...which was wierd but possible...only dropped it near the end when the front washed out on the exit and you cant save it one handed!

mines awesome - did over 90mph til i geared it down - now it does a tamer 70 but wheelies better than any geared bike ive ever ridden!

proper funny when youre at the lights and leave everything standing in a cloud of 2smoke!
