Posted on behalf of Kerry, (he's having a blond moment)

 

1st race pencilwood steady as she goes a bit slippy Dorset classic scramble

 

well done Kerry.

Life in the old dog!
That looks good fun, you did well fella.
Might have to keep an eye out for a twin shock myself

Biff

It's so much fun and so friendly that it's hard to think why anyone would not want to play. Kerry cooked enough on Saturday night to feed half the entry ! Anyone that walked past got fed

Nice one kerry, shame about it being slippy, the course could have been very fast.

 My pleasure.

I am sure there will be others joining you on the grid in future because the fun is plain to see.

I think the language was quite restrained in the circumstances. I would probably have needed bleeping out fior being too colourful.

thank you guys on reflection its funny you can practice cranking the bike over stickIng your leg out miles in front and all that proffesional stuff but on the day and as you can see in the vids your not cranked over hardly at all and your not going that fast ? Mind it feels fast!!! , so far the tracks ive ridden on have been flattened grass doesnt give you alot of purchase on your spudded tyres ? nil in fact by the third fouth race of the meeting there are : some lines to slot/track into that helps on the off camber turns ? there are always off camber turns down these here parts lol weight the outside peg i here you say oh yer ? try staying on the bike is the first prority I say ? multi groves well accelerate even if there down hill power on or your be off lol ,corners well look for any sort of grove slow down get in it power on watch the off camber again ? so thats been the my game plan so far and so far i havent fallen off yet ? gulp its not cheap cheap £££ forty odd for the day thats practice and three five lap races and getting there ? but the atmopher is great freindly helpfull made some new freinds lernt valuable lesson take your own loo roll ? for starters ,and ill say it again i would not ride such a large displacment bike in the lanes but unleashing that old girl on the open going is huge fun and i now prefer to ride the old xt540 than my 2011 xcf350 ktm enough said .what you waiting for lost

p.s again for those thinking of giving it ago class D in dorset consisted of old ccm rotax ? RS250 suks, honda red rocket 250s maico 250/400/440 yam yz 250/400? honda xr/xl500

options poss armstrong exe army 500 rotax ? imported xl500 prolink and convert ? at the meeting there was a maico 400 needing work £1200 yz250 yam plus spare engine £1200
