Pocket Rocket Backyard GP !!.....and some Vic boys...

[Gosling1]

It was my young blokes 8th birthday on Thursday last week. He got a Kawasaki 50cc pocket rocket. On Thursday, he needed me to hang onto the bike as he rode around the yard..........and the same on Friday.

On Saturday, he did his first lap without any 'assistance' from the old man.

Today, he was belting around, dodging his slower sister on the Yamaha YZR30GP , and had knocked about 5 seconds off his best lap-time of the Backyard GP circuit. The look of concentration on his face has to be seen to be believed . I couldn't get past him on the faster Yammie, but at one point, trying to make a move up the inside on 'Swing Corner', he looked back, spotted the YZR fair up his date, and gave the kwakka the berries.......it promptly stepped out a couple of inches, kicked up a bit of roost, the foot went down, and away he went !!

The crowd was made up of fellow KSRC hard-core crew Greg, Stace, Mel and Mick C - great to see you boys up here for a flying visit. Cold enough for you ??? bloody freezing.... check the Classic Kawa thread for a photo of Team Crim's Silver Bullet.....and thanks for the ride Mick, it was great !!

Man, whoever that is in the black t-shirt is absolutely stunning, no idea who that bloke on the right is though...

I don't think i've met him before

Great stuff Gos

Mate it's all down hill from here you know. First they start beating you and then the humiliation starts. My young bloke used to get to the end of a trail, wait for me and then greet me with "what happened, you fall off or somethin'"

The pocket rocket looks great.

I don't reckon his sister will be slower for too long with all the practice she's was putting in

Come on Gos... if you were a thoughtful parent, you would have bitumized that track by now.
