You and Bullet just keep going because soon there will be no return ha ha i heard smithy ate a trx90 for breakfast this morning just to prepare for bullet Very Happy[/quote]

True, Smitty is known to sprinkle a few cornflakes on his bowl of TRX90's every morning...

But on day 2 of Finke last year, when he was having breakfast... I cut a big gouge right around half of one of his rear tyres before the race started. he he he

I'll have to think of something more sinister for TP300 laughing

Best not look at it as 300k's on a jumbo.
8 little 43k laps sounds a lot better.

If you're going to run a 2 stroke Andy... You'd better as Mick if one rider can enter 8 quads under the same entry.

bring on the Iron Jumbo crew.

He can carry spare prosharks in a backpack....just in case.
The little fella did OK at speedway the other night. Not bad for his first attempt. I only hope he can turn right as well as he turns left!

Do you think expecting a whole lap out of each bike is a bit extreme Petey.
Yeah you're probably right.

Yeah good idea... but it would be interesting to see whether it could work that hard, for that long, without going BANG.

Well Bullet I've sat back and read all the banta
Of course a Jumbo is capable of taking out The Iron Jumbo Class
But by the time Smitty & Luke finish playing ping pong you might need some help.
Spoke to Captain Happy - He's good to come and give you hand on the Outlaw 125 jumbo
I would ride it myself but I'll ride a big one with suspension about 10 feet in front of the sweep riders
Good on ya Mick - looking forward to a great event
Will Wags be there toasting birds again?

Bullet doesnt use the seat anyway so thats not a problem. Just look at his nationals photos. He would be well served with a + 3 seat.

don't bag 2 strokes you pack of wolves take nathan for example, he can destroy 2 or 4 strokes, and with a lot more flair and pazzaz than a jumbo could achieve in a lifetime. in fact i reckon he's trying to make a career out of it Rolls eyes Rolls eyes

anyway after first thinking i probably was going to be unavailable to be at the TP300 it seems that there is a slight chance at this point that has varied, but only as a spectator, or potential "sabatuer for hire" services available to the highest bidder laughing

i guess that means manshee is a possible attendee too

It would be an interesting tourture test for a cobra jus tto see if one will go the distance, wonder if it would have the fuel range to be able to go around one lap?

It's only 43km for one lap. Surely it would make that?

I have it on good authority that a cobra would last the distance no problem - however it may be too fast for some.....

you riding the typhoon or the honda froggy?
if you're riding the typhoon i'll chip in a spare engine (complete with straight valves)
if you're riding the honda then the only thing i could afford would be a tank of fuel in it.
