Last Sunday I raced an HnH and finished an OK 10th in class, I came home thinking "I'm better than my bike, yes, I will order that '06 super sexy in yellow 'n black GasGas EC200 rocket ship with suspension like a silk glove....my old KDX isn't good enough for me now...she's holding me back from leaving work and being the world champ blah blah blah"...you know what I'm saying :bang:
but it just goes to show...I finally met up with fellow KDX forum member Pete Fry mounted on his 1990's KDX SR small carb', heavier tin-tank, swide ratio gears, softer sprung Jap' domestic market version, and you know.... I just checked the results and he placed 3rd to add to his already excellent previous result... :cool:
just goes to show, it ain't the bike it's the talent on the bike
One of the great things about this HnH was that we were racing with Daryl Bolter, european champion...it made my eyes water to just how much faster a champ' is...you need to see and btter still run with someone this quick to believe just how much better these guys are, he made the whole field seem like they were running with their chokes on, poetry in motion...even my girlfriend was impressed :whoa:
Anyway, well done Pete, see you at King's Hill hopefully, just remember we are going the other way 'round this time, hang on forget that last comment and I may get a 9th :laugh:
I actually think that if it wasn't for my severe lack of talent......hangover......... aching arm from painting fences all week.......old age........ sun-spots........ position of the moon's influence on the cosmos I could of been 1st!
