thailand round 3

[shane]

HI guys we had the third round of the thailand series on the weekend ,black clouds hung overhead all day but did not let go,it started to spit on the warm up lap but didnt get any worse ,as it was a cool 33 so it died out before it hit the ground.
i felt like shit in the warm up no grip in the rear and the front pattering its head off ,i thought it was going to be a tough day but a click here and there and a quick tire presure change it was close enough.
it is a shame we dont have bigger grids as they have tv cameras in your face on the line and a lot of spectators.
Well down to the main race of the day all went to plan a got the holeshot and was away there was a big crash on corner three where one went down and another ran off they were fighting for 5 and 6 place .i did not see any one untill about lap 5or6 when i hit the lap traffic ,i had about a 80meter lead so i just took it easy and maintained the gap .Ryan the ex dirt tracker rode real well to come through the pack to a very good second ,but was complaining about the tires having to much grip and couldnt get it to spin up enough ,i think the lad is going to be real fast .Bruno x asian enduro champ came home in third .
so its going well thats 3 wins from 3 rounds ill post some phots as soon as i get some back
cheers shane

Ooh, and the girlie on the RHS with the white suzuki outfit on the last podium piccie is a keeper, so sibbo will have to make his choice from the rest ;) :lol:

[Muzzard]

Leg looks like its holding up nicely there Shane, Not to mention the front wheel my man! 8)

[shane]

yeh mate the leg feels ok, still have to start the beast with my left leg, cant risk the old kick back just yet.i got the stand on the seat eddy seal wheelie going, but didnt want to risk not making it across the line, so it had to wait till the back strait. its not hard to do but no room for fucking up and thats one thing i do real well :lol:

[Muzzard]

The ol' Stand on the seat wheelies eh?
Why not chuck the feet up over the bars and pop a neat highchair for the crowd, dare to be different Shane...
Looked at a nice big bore conversion from Rocket here in Australia but originally from Italy for the CRF, out to 497cc, looks sweet.
You listening here Ben? :)

[Wobbly]

S2 *cough* ;)

[Muzzard]

Yeah I know he's ridin' S2 Neil.
But a real CRF is bigger than 450 isnt it? :lol:

[Flash]

cheers shane

[GPTC]

Shane he is 14 and he lives with Christmas. Christmas is a good man and everyone looks after Jake really well. Letting him train you are the man and this is what he is after. The reason he is there is to ride learn and then 06 go for the championship. All of this will he hopes give him a shot at a wild card ride. Thank you for the offer, i will pass your details onto him today. Just one thing if you going to help him out give him your logo and he will get it turned into a patch and put on his leathers.
Thanks once again.

[shane]

no problem mate anything i can do to help out your lad ,it must be hard for him here as christmas english is not the greatest but his boy speaks better but still not the best. xmas shop is only 20 min from my place so if he needs any thing or wants to come out with us on the weekends to practice or hangout with a few of us english speaking ones, just let me know i can pick him up ,also if he needs any help with training fitness and diet i can sit down and write him out a program .i dont mind helping as i was prity lucky when i was racing 250's to have peter magee help me like i was a part of his family i was greatful for that ,thats one reason i like to help younger guys if i can.
shane
