Hey everyone!

Another great day at the track with a solid turn out. I got there very late today (10:30) so it was over just as I was getting into things

Good to see some old faces again and I had a chance to try out the new Banshee. It flies! Unfortunately old Morty and Dylan still take the corners faster than I can, especially when I'm just getting used to the pockets again. It's a real squeeze for someone my height. It was the first time I'd tried the PMTs today and man, they're bloody fantastic!! For once I'm not worrying about sliding out and can focus more on my riding

I had a few close calls today though. 1st was the rear sliding out but the bike didn't drop, second was the rear losing grip again then finding it and nearly bucking me off (these were on the old Zhongya's) and then on the new BZM Banshee I got on of many accidental wheelies which ended up giving me some pretty bad tank slappers. I think Morty might have seen that one. My favourite part of the day was pulling a wheelie past Akim (accidently :P). Dad was having a great time on the motard but he was the only one out there, where have all the motards gone?! But anyway seems to me that fun was had by all and I can't for the enduro next week! I'll slap together another video shortly. Oh yeh and nice meeting you Glen.

Cheers,

Michael

Here's the video. Short and sweet for this week. Tried to get a bit of footage of everyone (in the experienced class).

Yes but I'm not sure if it was genuine or not.

ok then! alot of people say they have a Blata, but they forget to add the ''rep'' part and i then think its a genuine!

If I remember right, wasn't I passing you?

GLEN #159 · #8 (**permalink**) 19-08-2007, 08:14 PM

You might have been..

Although you'd think so, seeing as you were on a W/C and I was on a A/C..

Haha! Morty managed to pass me on his a/c...damn I used to be faster than him back in the day, final few laps I was staying with him though. Just gotta get used to these tiny bikes again :p You should enter pro w/c because I don't think I'll have anyone to race otherwise

Well morty's A/C is a pro, so its got minimal stick... But you should have smoked his a-- !!!!

I havn't got a pro bike, but if you enter your pro bike and no one else does, they will run you in the std class...
You'd just want to make sure you don't get beaten by any..
