- Off the back of them both breaking their racing ducks on TZR's Gary introduces Charlie to racing a CB500 with EMRA at Mallory Park. With a limited budget and even more limited experience and skill Charlie was out to prove to himself at least, that Pigs do Fly....
I turned up at a Thundersport 500 round back in 2009 having never raced a day in my life, late due to traffic and 15 minutes before the 500's were out to qualify. I qualified 2nd on the grid and walked away on Sunday with a race win and the T500 lap record. I just wish I'd started at 6 years old and not 26! My 7 year old daughter is currently riding motocross at the minute so I get the same kind of thrill watching her progress as I did on the track :)
I used to spend my weekends with EMRA at Mallory many moons ago. I am glad the friendliness and fun are still there. Mallory is a great venue for beginners. You are right to in talking about the tussles throughout the field. We aren't all winners but there is fun to be had racing to beat the people around you wherever you are in the field.
The cb500 is such a beautifully balanced bike. Proper good fun. I need to take mine on a track day.
Mathew Newton you do. Mega
Nice one boys. The cb500’s are great little bikes and put a grin on your face.
Absolutely loved watching this video , well done boys.
Those twins sound awesome
Well done guys. Try to keep it up and monitor how you improve. 2 wheels are the best.
What changes do you recommend to improve it on the street? I have one cb 500 and i’ll want to enjoy with my friends but in “safety”
let me add this; warming up wets is a fucking no noooo!!! THEY ARE MADE TO WORK IN COLD TEMPS? I.E wetsssssssssssss. hahahhaahha
Well it's a great way to heat cycle them until they're rubbish!!!
Yea but as soon as it gets in the water those tyre temps drop to ambient temp. =)
The reason you can't get hold of a cb500 now lol
Should come and do a few Thundersport rounds 👍🏼
David Snipp not quick enough for TS
David Snipp plus I don’t really have the sore time to commit to 3 day meetings.
Gary is quick enough, my (Charlie) aim is to be quick enough. Watch this space....
Fast Bikes Magazine don’t worry about not being fast enough you get amongst the faster riders it will pull you along. And the freshman are fast at the end of the year but not the beginning, you might surprise your self 👌🏼
It’s more the 3 day format. Can’t commit to it. It’s too much for me.
Dont know if anyone remembers a rider called Steven Thompson from Teesside quite a few years back he cleaned up in the CB five years racing great rider pity he started late in life
Is that Jamie Whitham I can hear at 00.17s ?
