125-200cc 125 thread

absolutely shattered after today. 29km loop of fast, whooped out sand tracks & some clay/gravel sections all with flowing berms(courtesy of 250 bikes & quads). weather held out but a bit more rain in the lead up would have been good as dust was a bit average. sand dries out quick though. once race was underway & everyone spaced out on the track it wasn't too bad though.

did a sighting lap(whats with the wankers that wanna 'win' the sighting lap?! its called a sighting lap for a reason just cruise single file ya dicks) & some bloke managed to hit a sweep/marshall & break his arm(his not the sweeps)! another bloke with 'fkn dickhead' written on back of his jersey(I shit you not!) came screaming around me then coupla hundred meters later I went past him lying on the floor tangled up with an older fella on an Italian husky 4T. he got back up & again came screaming around me again a km later . serious wanker. living up to his namesake I guess! I spoke to the husky fella later & he told me he just flat out rear ended him & punted him into a tree. he was gobsmacked why hed ride like that-dangerous when ya not expecting ie during the race & even then it was a fundraiser event! I woulda made sure he couldn't start the race if he did that to me!

anyway managed 6 laps in total for race over 4 hours(ironman no partner) plus one sighting lap so 203km all up for the day! no get offs at all, coupla close calls as I was getting tired toward the end but bars didn't touch the ground so pretty happy with that. fuelled up after second lap, which was a bit of an excuse for a drink as didn't wear a camelback, but bike only took 5-6 litres so did 3 laps before next refuel then one final lap. only stopped for quick drink & refuel so 2 mins max each stop. coulda got away with one refuel as 3 laps didn't even hit reserve! a fair bit of deep sand & some long straights so a lot of WFO. pretty happy with my efforts as didn't do much training & still a few kg overweight(ideal weight). they had a problem with ironman timing so not sure what I finished but will find out in the next few days/week. hopefully top 5-10 outta 40 starters. if the winner did anymore than 7 laps I will probably cry as I was fairly well spent after 6(was kind of relieved when they waved us in at final checkpoint) & rode at a fair pace all day.

125 loved every minute of it! poor little thing had its ring hanging out all day but didn't miss a beat(a few shifts though from my end)

Epic! What a tosser as for sighting lap glory some just want too mess it up for everyone else. Glad you completed it and no get offs ? You wernt trying!

yeah young punks eh no respect! oh I was trying mate my body at this point would vouch for it. be nice to be fitter & have had the 300 there but by the same token the 125 so easy to pull up into corners & manhandle towards the end

kind of like riding 200+km of the riding we did when you were here mate but bit faster/more open in some parts. coupla good jumps too. someone nailed a roo during first or second lap. I just saw him laying across track dead. not a big one maybe 4 feet tall but was on a long fast straight(6th tapped!) so if it was a bike it woulda been interesting. probably a quad id say(damn them things are loud & blokes can ride em but they don't like the whoops-understandable I guess. destroy the track lines though!). anyway skippy is in heaven tonight. poor skippy

Ha i killed one too lol ha but yeh a quad omg gunna be a stain on that blokes pants for sure!
More jumps? Dont think i could of handled that im front heavy an i chop the throttle on take off.

I like the 139. Definitely pulls better than the 125. Anything over a 144, and it usually doesn't rev enough for my liking. I would recommend the kit if it were ported correctly.
