Kram’s First Road Race Report

Jeepers Maria, what a top weekend.

I recently offloaded four bikes that I’d been trying to hide from my wife and after a hard fought struggle, she won, I handed over all the cash! After much grovelling she agreed that I could spend about $1500 dollars. I didn’t know it at the time but low and behold it bought me this.

I picked it up last Wednesday night, fully prepped, and a loaned set of leathers for the weekend. Best 14 hung I’ve ever spent.

The little beast is a CBR 125r and is set up for the stock class for the North Coast Road Racing Series. The stock class is the most competitive for rider numbers and the bike can also be ridden in the superlites class.

So once again the boys load up the Big Red Sports car and head off, but for the first time in a loooong time, Zy was my pit bitch.

It tuned out that for this meeting they were also holding a one hour endurance race so I signed up for all three classes. It’s not like I didn’t need the practice.

I even kept the peak just for OBT’s

I started the day pretty slow, but by the end of the day I was starting to hold my own.

Bloody Hell! I pull in for the compulsory pit stop and an old OBT face hands me a drink. Phew, it didn’t help perfomace.

And yes I was wearing a lot of padding under the leather. Ride for Monday :laugh: :whistle: :blush:

One of the problems with this club is they love kids. No sooner than they knew Zy had a racing licence than they hustled
up some gear and it was game on for him too.

Bloody Hell. It’s my bike!

Another reason I bought the bike was that I knew he could ride it as a junior as well and I wanted to still beat him at something.
But I thought I’d get in plenty of practice before he had a crack. Still got a couple of seconds on him 👿 I might have
try golf next. NOT.

It was such a fun weekend and at the end of the day you just push the little beast back in the shed. It doesn’t even need a wash

Still a dirt biker at heart
