And the story continues....

 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.

Next up IOW...

Still grinning from my first outing, I got the chance to ride at the IOW, and grabbed it, a ferry across and a very wet track awaited, all I can say is, wow, what a day, all over the place but the grin factor was worth it, the finals and speedway boys spot on, great viewing, and great memories.

But I wasn't done there...

Iwade in kent, a chance to go round again on another new track, and why not, dry, cold, and mad, but what else do you need..

A great day going out and round, just really getting on with the bike and trying to get some speed and above all confidence in what I was doing, you don't get long out there, and a soon as I was getting happy the day was over, as was the season, the off season was full of preparation for the 24 season, and a hoping for better results!

2024...

With the bike serviced over the winter, and a few goodies added, time to move onto the van and get that finished, and pretty much sorted it is, does the job, and although had a couple of issues, battery, alternator its been a good one.

The dates came out for 24, and I had greenfield TT in my sights, 

Amazing weekend, I can put into words how good it was for me, really good racing, and although at the back, I had a great time, and some good battles.

A few up's and down's followed on from the first meeting, then a major change, I heard of a bike via the grapevine, and went for 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..

So towards the end of 24, I'm now back learning a new bike, which I do feel more comfortable with, and as I get a few more meets in, and with 25 around the corner, It may be a while before I update the blogger again...
