And what a story it is..
The MT made way for a WK450 DTX, and I made it out playing with some of the best there is, end of 23 saw me practicing at a local private Oval, then on to what is to become my favorite place to ride, Greenfield nr Lincoln.
I had the opportunity to get hold of a DTX bike which just needed to be brought back to life after sitting for a while.
A flush of the carb and a general look over, a few kicks and it was back alive, running well, and no obvious problems, time to get a practise in, as I said I'm lucky to know of a private oval, and was soon wobbling around, trying to put everything into practise and not falling off, covered in dust, grinning from ear to ear, booked in for the last DTRA round of the season, Greenfield oval.
The van fully loaded, everything in and away we went, a mission drive, but we got there, set up and prepared for the Sunday racing, Saturday was spent enjoying the action, drinking a few beers and meeting new people.
Sunday.
What a day, i had no idea what I was doing, just get out there and see how it goes, riders going by, but I stayed where I was, rode my own race and stayed on!
The races fly by, and soon I was sitting at the back of the van feeling pleased I made it.
Something completely different to the DTX, a Rotax framer styled flat track racer, I remember seeing this bike at the IOW at the back end of last season, and it went rather well..
