CB150 Twin Update.

The bike was raced this weekend at Greymouth street races. My heart sank when the rider spluttered back to the pits during practice. I soon recovered when he said he thought there was enough fuel, but apparently there wasn't.

He was new to the track and managed 8th out of 45 on the first race.

Second lap, splutter splutter cough cough. Again, he said 'I thought the battery was fully charged' !!!

Quick charge and then he managed 3rd in the last race behind a Honda 125 two stoke, followed by new Honda CBR150.

I can't complain especially as he was on the third row on the grid.

Final race

Just curious, how long have they been racing in Greymouth for ? I lived in Hokitika for a couple of years back in the '80s.

Cheers,
Brian

I'm not sure. I only started with MC racing 2 years ago.
