Re: Not quite a newbie.
I see quite a lot of Jordan watts during the mx season, and his dad Mike. Good blokes. Are you still involved with the racing at all?

Re: Not quite a newbie.
Gave it up after a run in with 3 or 4 bikes that landed on me in a race when I was in the Army fecked my back and leg. Couldn't manage a race now, I struggle enough just riding me road bike. I have just fitted risers to save my back. I do miss it....

Re: Not quite a newbie.
Hi Tango and welcome back, the r1 looks mental with the stunt look.
Cant help but wonder why the r1? , the gear boxes are not the best in the world and the oil tends to sit low when stunting causing burn and trouble for your barrels.
One main problem when using these bikes for stunting is the oil pressure release valve gets starved and gives up after a while and when that happens you get a nice exploding oil filter
.
I hope you dont suffer any of the above and have a great time learning to hone you stunting
