  • Did you know that Chris used to be a racer? He's got the bug back, so he entered a mini road race at Aberdare Park i n Wales. Of course, he had to complicate things by buying a new bike last minute to do it on.

    I did 60K km on my first bike, an NC30 all over Europe and it never let me down (apart from a snapped chain at the Autobahn). Did track days, crazy road races and I still have it 20 years on. Great vid Chris!

      Amazing, I absolutely loved the one I had at 19 - commuted on it, rode it to uni but eventually it got sold to pay for a Minitwin race bike.

    Just gotta love the attitude that Chris has. Nothing seems to dampen his zest for life. Always great to watch him whether reviewing bikes, or racing them. Great work mate. Keep having fun.

    Simply Awesome to watch and listen. I’ve just recently returned from my old home racetrack in the 90’s. Phillip Island. Just drove down for the weekend to watch a couple of mates (who thought they were quick and talented riders), both on brand new R1’s. They were so excited with their lap times until I let them know I was 15 seconds a lap quicker on a production class 250 cc bike (an RGV-250), let alone being 30 seconds a lap quicker on a Superbike at the time (GSXR-750). I’m thinking it might be time for a bit more “fun” in life, instead of a serious racing event. I still have one of the 250’s in storage, might get it going again and see what it’s like with modern street legal tyres compared to the best of the 90’s. 🤔

  • @daviddedman654
    @daviddedman654 3 года назад

    Bought a VFR400 new, part exchanged a RGV250 for it, really miss both of them. Was great to see one being used in anger by Chris and having a great time on it. Reminded me of days gone bye at Box Hill.

    Although if I had it now it would absolutely be converted to a race bike. Too much fun on track not to

      Ok. Started 34th on the grid at Cadwell and 8 seconds slower laptime than the winner, finished 15th, 10th, 6th and 5th and only 2 secs slower. Got 2 3rd place senior and Rider of the Meeting, so stoked!
      Oulton was wet! First race in 38 years on wets, got 6th and 5th again, one 3rd place Senior.
      You looked like you went really well at Aberdare.
      Saw your Dawn till Dusk Enduro blog. Very impressive.
