    Gday Mick

    Welcome to the forum, we have a few racers on here with 2 s and 4 strokes s and Im pleased to announce this forum has just sponsored a CBR250RR rider (see teamtiger.com.au) , if you have some pics you want to post then check them out here - http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?showcase/racing-and-trackdays.37/

    Where abouts do you race ?

    My next project will be a CBR250RR track day bike, it would be good to find out what you do to prepare the bike for the track ?

    Cheers N Beers

    Chris

    Thanks guys
    I actually race with the team tiger guys, good mates with them all :) So my main track being Morgan park in Warwick and a couple of race meets a year at the awesome Carnell raceway in stanthorpe.

    My Supermoto has really my primary race class since I bought it, just the KTM is currently in the motorcycle sick bay....dropped the oil and found metallic bits in it :-(, so the CBR went for a run and i had a ball back on it and smashed my old PB around morgan park, I guess i learnt a thing or 2 from riding supermoto.

    Kiffsta, def get yourself a CBR, they are an awesome bike for racing on and very capable of making some big bikes look slow!! Its great fun overtaking an Aprillia RSV4 factory under brakes on a track day, even if the guy riding it was taking it easy!

    Hey Mick

    Sorry to hear about the KTM, sounds like some major bucks to repair. Never mind, back on the CBR, and posting some good times.:thumb_ups: What number do race with, might see you on Simons video's which we await with abated breath.:D
    Keep us posted.

    Thanks guys,
    Yeah Phil I think they may be right with KTM standing for Keep Throwing Money!!

    I race under number 15, I am usually a fit behind Simon so not in his camera, but I will find the link to another guy who I was dicing with who had a camera :)
