Surely you got room in that wambulance.

I wouldn't buy one if it wasn't FI. Carb(s) are a nightmare.

Hey now! I actually own more carbed bikes than FI now

I raced wvrc this past weekend for the first time all year. Im just gonna go ahead and say everything I told you was bullshit. The club has grown ALOT in the past year and the mini class.... holy crap. I think there were more bikes in the mini class then the entire rest of the field. Saturday night I think their had to run something like 5 heats with 6 riders with the top 3 advancing then a lcq. The main looked like an absolute blast. With bikes banging bars everywhere. I honestly wish I still had my 100. Then again, being the only wack job dumb enough to run a supermoto with rain tires was fun. Specially when I actualy beat a few people with actual flat track bikes

I want in. I want in. I want in.

Mee tooo.

Somebody has posted some vids on nedb. The TT race looked like a hoot.

Let's do it.

Any other motard guys wanna come play? Roger says he will even give us our own class if we wanna come play. Theres one more race weekend there this year. He also said hes going to add some practice days

[tsorfas]

I have a ktm 525 with Michelin pilots on lol

[nhbubba]

I have a machine kurlon has called vastly uncompetitive.

So I have a machine which roughly matches my skill.

I also have my eye on CL for XR100's.

What's the date of the next event? I could be interested.

Does anyone have some shagged 160 rains they want to sell?

I've been following it very little just not to tempt me. Been trying to save money for the SV and next years track/race budget. I live 15-20 minutes from the track.

Next race is October 11th and 12th. Its a double header so they will be running a full program bolth days. Its only $30 a class and a $10. Gate fee so its pretty dam cheap

Does that apply to the competitiveness of a bone stock XR100 as well? Will an XR, fresh from CL, plus a couple hundred in suspension, tires, and misc at least be fun. Or will it just get stomped by modified stuff.

Colin, I understand where you are coming from with these types of questions but the bottom line is that it is a ton of fun no matter what you are riding. Hanging with like minded individuals and getting to go out and ride around a track is fun fun fun.

I've got shagged rains for my 525smr but that's just ridiculous. I can pull xr100s from the crew at CMP for this.

[repete513]

Well, from what I've seen. Don't waist your time with wheels and tires. Stock nobbies seem to be the way to go. I looked like there were plenty of stock 100s out there bit I didn't check. They may have been 120 kitted and resprung for all I know

[breakdirt916]

I'd imagine flat tracking has a lot to do with rider skill too ???

@ nhbugs - why not just start with a stock bike, get as fast as you can (because skills are free, amirite?!?), then do individual mods that you view would make you faster?

[repete513]

Obviously skills are a huge part of it. But with these small bikes, bike mods, specialy engine mods, seem to give you a lot more than a 450 that's hardly ever even wide open and even when it is, its spinning the entire time.

[cdovego]

I lined up a 150 today for 10/11 and 10/12 - see you guys at the track. *braaaap!

Here is a NESR post with some videos. The adult 100-160cc TT race had a great battle for the lead for a few laps (short video shot from track side posted along with other helmet gopro clips at the link below).

Fugget. I'll have my little 100 ready to ride for this little shindig. IN!!

Do they have a Grom class?

I haven't read the whole thread, but if a 525 with rains will do...I'd be game.

....or I could throw the knobbies back on it. Not sure which would be better from skimming the thread...
