While i'm certainly making up for lost time! This is my 6th Sunday in a row that i've been out on the bike, and there ain't gonna be no let up at the moment either because i'm planning on racing the for next 3 weeks on the trot as well!!
Today we had a good little turnout down the local MX track as there was me, 'mad' Jack, Ali Gilbert, Adam Blake, young Paddy Twentyman and Adams mate who's name i don't even know!
Conditions weren't too bad today although them old ruts on the corners seem to be getting a bit deeper as the weeks go by. Today i also had a couple of laps on Paddy's new RM 125, and i've got to say i was hooked on the little strimmer, a cracking little bike. Although it was in standard MX trim and with the suspension being a little bit hard for me, i thought the engine was a little gem, really crisp and you could really give it some coming out of the corners when dropping the clutch and keeping 'on the pipe'.
Me and Ali had a great little battle for 20 mins, both of us flat out aboard our strimmers, and i'm just not saying this (and Ali will tell you) that there is no difference at all in power between the Gasser and the ginger katosh 125's. On the open parts of the track we where both pinning them for all they had, and weather i was in front of him or he was in front of me, we both stayed the same distance apart, no power advantage whatsoever (sorry to break that news you KTM fans). The only thing that spoilt our race was when Blakey came past us cruising on his 250!
A good afternoon, and i'm so glad to be riding the bike again, every weeks a bonus!
