Mate, you were hooning!

You were getting knee down nearly every corner!

oh, and your off, that was tiny, couldn't help but notice you looking more worried about what damage you done to your jeans hahaha..

(i was the dude on the black and gold bike, red gear, junior)

Well done more-eggs...already getting the knee down hey. I remember the first time I rode one and I had a chick, that doesn't even ride tell me I have to lean the bike over more

and I have been riding since I first got my license.

Looks like you Queenslanders may have someone to watch out for.
Great to hear you enjoyed it.

28 second lap times? Yep, he'd be close to it.

I accept your challenge, more-eggs. Wherever, whenever! Althought if you can make it to the twilight nationals in Wollongong on the 28th and 29th, that would be preferable. This might be your last chance to have me on a stock banshee as i am going elite!
