Minimoto Racing, Athboy 24th Sept

[Johnny Wishbone]

All, I should've posted this a few days ago - there are three of us heading up to Athboy on Saturday morning to race some minimotos for the day. It's actually a race meet (see Street Fighter Racing (To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.)) but they supply rental bikes for eejits like us to rent out for the day. Cost for the days racing is £45STG and consists of 2 warmup sessions that morning of about 10 minutes each and then 4 full races later that day. We'll be going out at the back of the grid in the "Heavies" class. Anyway, there are 2 bikes spare at the moment so if anyone would like to head along give me a shout and I'll try and book a bike for you. Otherwise mail the chap (Jonathan) at Streetfighter racing directly - his email is on the website. Sign on is at 9am on Saturday.

[Noddy]

Fun day at mini-moto. Will post some of the pics later

[Johnny Wishbone]

Noddy, did you get any videos? Had a look at the pics and videos on the camera when I got home - some of 'em look class. I'll stick them up later. Good to meet yis there on Saturday.

[Rob]

Yup good to meet yiz there on Saturday lads. I'm sure we provided enough entertainment for ye :lol:

Yeah Johnny "Gibernau" Wishbone get them photos up today if you can. I'm still laughing at Daves wheelie attempt, I never knew 4.6hp could be so vicious :lol: .

I was in bits on Saturday evening and I can still feel it in my right ankle. Class day out and would defo be interested in doing it again!!

[Johnny Wishbone]

In all fairness, all I said after the first race was that my chain had come off and that I was poxed - THEN you feckin jinxed me by calling me 'Gibbers'!!! Bastardo!
:) First race me chain comes off, second race I finish a good second place, third race me feckin chain breaks, and fourth race I run out of petrol on the second last lap!!! Now, if that ain't Gibbers all over I dunno what is!! I'm going off to Peter Marks now to get blonde hair extensions and basically act like a nancy boy for the rest of the week. :lol: :lol:

Rob, you truly were The Doctor of minimoto racing, what with your spindley flexible legs and skinny arse, you were completely in your element - untouchable out there... que Golf Clap... :clap: :worthy: :notworthy: :gunsmilie:

[Johnny Wishbone]

Hang on a tick, I'll give it another try.

As for the boots, yeah, I think I'll have to. As I said on Saturday, I did more damge to my boots in one day than I've done in the last 2 years!

This is a video of myself (Swift leathers, starting off) and Bomer (Red/White leathers on his arse) doing a few laps of the practice loop behind the track. Oul Bomer tries to pull a wheelie at the end and goes on his snot :lol: :lol:

Thanks Admin for the help with the post!! :)

[Johnny Wishbone]

Oh, and there's some pics up too!

Ah, so it does............. :rolleyes:

[chopper]

the vids won`t play in media player 9 for me,trys to download codecs but fails and only gives sound.
any ideas?.

tis ok ,got it sorted.power wheelie vid is funny,even funnier in slow mo.good craic indeed.

[Johnny Wishbone]

[b]I'll be the one with a bottle of nos tied to my back

...and I'll be the one with the prosthetic 6" legs. There's a reason you know why footballers don't race mini motos... After the first couple of practice sessions it was actually impossible to get straight off the bike - you had to wait a few minutes until the blood started to flow again :lol:

As far as I know, if there's enough people interested, the crowd that rent out the bikes will come down from the north for the day and run an event. I'm sure it would be possible to rent out the track at Athboy for a day or something. If it was between at least 20 of us the whole thing would be pretty cheap.

[skenny]

Looks the business - great idea for a biker.ie meet - admin, techie ??

[Technician]

Actually looking at those clips made me realise just how much fun the day must have been. A biker.ie mini-moto day out could be good craic alright. Admin might have the tshirts by then.

[Johnny Wishbone]

Actually, one regret I have from Sunday is not getting a pic of Nicks helmet after his first off... he had a huge tyre mark across the front of his visor where the bike bounced up and the back tyre hit his lid - it was gas looking! :lol:

[Liamo]

stick me down for that, sounds like a blast

[Legion]

Sounds like great craic.
Where's Athboy?

[Liamo]

i think its in meath, near trim. think i had me debs there

its in between kells and trim in meath.they do go kart days for about 45 yo yos too.thats good craic as well.

[Johnny Wishbone]

Yeah, maybe we could organise a Biker.ie Go-Kart day... ye know, to highlight the danger of four wheels :lol: :lol:

Cars are coffins folks, don't forget that! :wink1:

[Legion]

Sounds like a good run from Donegal :)
If yous are organising a minimoto day I'd be interested in going.
I went karting in Castlefin here in Donegal a few weeks ago. It was my first time karting in a few years since I was in Germany. It showed me how seriously unfit and out of shape I am :(
I used to do endurance races, over 24 - 28 hours as part of a team of clousters. I barely managed the 15 laps :doh:
