SERVICE HONDA CR500AF Twisted Evil

With my RM still in bits I was lucky enough to borrow Dave Ponting's CR500AF. Huge thanks and big respect to Dave for lending me his very special David Bailey replica. hail

What a machine!! Practise was spent looking at the blue sky as I struggled to keep the front end down. Amazing power from very bottom to the revvy top end.

Qualifier went well as got an OK start (didn't flip it anyway) and rode a steady race to finish 4th.

Pulled a good holeshot in the 2stroke race and lead for a bit but then Paul Dunford, Paul Spacagna and Fred Heath got past. We had a great battle with all 4 of us swapping places for most of the race. I had a big moment mid race and backed off but then closed in on the leaders again and finished third which was great.

A1 and a monster holeshot!! Nothing was going to beat the 500 stroker up the hill! Was really getting to grips with the power and had a huge grin as I lead for 4 or 5 laps. Needham and Wratten got through and I then had a great battle with Heaton. Held on and finished the race in 3rd which I was really pleased with.

A2 and a crap start meant I was burried in the pack. Went down in the dust but kept it running. Really struggled in this one tho and couldn't find a rythm. Have to say the 500 got the better of me as I was exhausted and so cruised round to finish.

Points on the board tho and again a huge thanks to Dave for letting me ride the beast!
Hope to have the RM back on track for Whitings Water but she's gona feel a bit flat after the mighty power of the 500.

Well this being my local track i was looking forward to racing it. It has been about 7 weeks since i last done a full race meeting,so the fitness wasn't there.

Practise went on for what seemed like forever, but the mighty RM was loving it. Finding the grip and some good lines.

Qualifying i gated about 4th quickly got into third and persued Dave Ponting and Mark Withers. Dave was really hard to get pasted and all the while Mark was edging a gap away from us, i got pasted Dave and homed in on Mark but ran out of laps, so 2nd it was.

Two stroke race i thought i grabbed the holeshot but Olly Mayhew on the CR500 came roaring up on the inside and took it away from me. I followed Olly for a while then tucked in on the inside of him to take the lead, I then pushed on but Spags tagged onto me and we were swapping positions all race. Then i put in a rubbish lap and Olly and Freddie Heath got pasted me, so i said to myself get it together, i then homed in on them and in doing so nearly hit Olly's rear wheel. I took avoiding action and went off the track, only to get my rear wheel wrapped up in barb wire fence, that was the end of the race and finished 17th Sad Sad

A race gated about 11th got up to 6th held that for the most of the race and then lack of bike time kicked in and i got tired, so i slipped back to 12th.

2nd A race had a bit better gate and was in a similar position until i decided to see how good my protective clothing was, by going over the bars and knocking myself out. I cannot remember anything of how it happened? Im fine though a little annoyed with myself for coming off. Just want to say thank you for everyone who helped cheers cheers

Going well on that service Honda Olly - Looked the absoloute nuts.

Just had a comment posted on the gallery from number 142 (Anyone know who that is?).

"Guest1 day ago

just want to thank you for taking a picture of me number 241 in the a group (not) try and be fair to every one in future yeah."

Thought it was a bit odd.

My reply -

"CLICK 466 (guest)21 hours ago

Sorry i have managed to miss you in the first A Group race. I think i am normally pretty fair when it come to taking photo's of all the riders however occasionally i will miss a rider during a race..I have just had a quick scan through the gallery and found I did get a few of you in Practice, Heat 2 and the 250f race."

Am i wrong to find his message a little bit odd? Rolling Eyes
