On the other hand yesterday I had the bike on 400 odd kooks in the morning(still not kookaloos but getting close) and on my way home I took it to the local track(its on the way home if i take the backroads). Considering it still needs to run in properly I took it for a few gentle laps around the track for the fun of it...
It sure looks tiny on the track


I want to move to South Africa! You can just rock up to your track and go for a hoon? If I did that here - after busting through all the fences and gates, I'd be first shot by the irate track manager, then charged entry, then arrested for trespassing.  :dash1:

Na they are a little less anal about that here. They do put up some tires halfway around the track(the big tractor kind, but its easy to move them). And although I am not really suppose to be on the track I wouldnt get in trouble if caught - nobody really looks out, plus there a  few people who live in the middel of the track and a quarter of the track is used by motorists to get to the surrounding suburbs :biggrin: though its hardly ever used so its moslty quiet. Plus once every month to 2 months they hold a track day. Apart from the this track and the Kyalami, South Africa is full of dirt bike tracks(its quite a sport here).. its funny though I want to move to the USA for many reasons too. South Africa might have some real nice places, but crime and rape are also high in certain areas, for every good there is a bad. I even see Australia as better(they have amazing roads and people)
