Ouch.

Like I said though, he's still learning the bike... there's something to be said about not having any feel, suspension is shit, brakes are shit, and no power.  It takes some getting used to.  But yea, he was well off the pace.  With that being said, he didn't finish in last...

Hmm, I do ride an SV....... probably would help the learning curve. Can't be lazy like I was on the literbike.

Stock SV feels like a 2165 GP jet bike compared to the little XRs.

Guess I better not get one...talk about lapped traffic "Hey Dave, the race is over!" "OVER? I JUST NOW finished 1 lap!!!"

No, you need one asap.  Or just come hang out at a race some time.  Race today in Circleville.  September 8th in Circleville also, then September 15/16 practice/race in Camden, Ohio at G&J Kartway.  That's @Helmutt and @snot's hometown track.

I found the 100 to be totally different than any full-sized bike. 

It’s a lot easier to upset a bike that weighs less than you do, and the tracks are so tight, it feels like you’re not countersteering. You are, but it only feels right when you’re really getting up to a respectable pace. 

I also never had any confidence in the tires.  For me, every corner was a question of how soon i could get my knee on the ground, in case the tires let go. 

I need to get back out on something. 100 or grom/Z/China copy.
