    Interesting, the results I saw showed the lonely RS125 was a lap behind the winner.

    Great to see you are enjoying yourself, are you open to any mod that you can dream of?

    A lap behind well yes and no when the two 400's passed me on the front straight the guy had the checkered flag out so that meant I came third . The mods i cleaned the ports up the casting was a bit of a mess and matched every thing up got the squish down to a respectable amount so hoping for a better result ,still good fun they could have waited for me to catch up to them

    The bike looks fricken awesome Mads!

    Great use of light in the picture too. I'm dying to get out there on my 250 but work, no bloody time, mortgage and bills say otherwise.

    Sucks being a responsible parent/father...

    If they allow you to do any mods, definitely look into getting a programmable ignition, 2T Institute has done some work and has good info.

    Damn if entry fees weren't exorbitant and I had permission from the boss I would love to be out there racing.

    Have Programmable Ignition,got it cheap from a dude in Aus Yes DG I have a strategy just like that one stay close on the last lap just as they pass.As for the fees it's cheaper than ride days and you get 2 days of racing

    I see on this round at the island that combined you with the superlights and the 250s, talk about a big disparity in capacity! Great to see you picked up a sponsor too

    What happened to cause the DNF on race 2?

    Looks like I have to get my butt into gear and make it to a round or two.
