What times are the races? I can't seem to find any times for races, qaulies or practice and have missed both yesterday and todays practice.

Spot on Walken!

Difference but not better or worse is a good statement.

First time i went from 4-stroke NSF100 to a 125GP it didn't feel like a big difference until i actually hit the powerband of the 2-smoker first time, almost fell of the bike
A tiny boy being only 13 it was quite some power going from the 9hp 4 stroke to 40hp 2smoker

Where is the Discord? then i will get on there too

Where do you get password for server?

Been following this from my dark office and enjoying reading all arguments

As a racer myself i also have my opinions and experiences, also on leg dangle, but as far as leg dangle goes, i won't comment on it

For the talk about 2smokers vs. 4 strokes i have been racing both (european championship and a wildcard at Valencia as well) so i would consider myself as a decent racer.
Money stopped me from going further, as i had options in Spain.

But as far as it goes, i am now riding a Moto3 and been doing that since 2012 when they came. Before that i was racing 125GP Honda RS125RR 2smoker from 2009-2011.
Both bikes are amazing bikes and a huge amount of fun. Big difference on the way your work with the bike and also, even it is very small bike and basically same frame, a bit of a difference in the way you ride them and the personality of the bikes.

125GP bikes, especially with kit-engines, was BEASTS. The short range of where you would have power (my bike was between 9-14k rpm) was amazing, when you knew how to ride it, the feeling and kick that came, when you slammed on the throttle in the right rpm and the sound and smell was GREAT! such a lovely bike to ride but ready to kill, if you didn't know how to ride it. I can only imagine how the 500cc bikes were. The way you had to be able to fiddle with throttle all through a corner to hit the right register and to get the needed drive also meant, a more fluent and clean riding was needed, as you had to keep up the speed to go fast and stay witing 9-14k rpm.

Moto3 bikes to me, seem a bit easier to ride. A little mistake with gear, is not as problematic, as the register for power is much bigger. The bike is also around 10kg heavier and the engine brake also effects how you ride the bike. For Moto3, the corner speed might not be as important, as you can easier do like the big bikes and square of the corners a little more, as the power just comes when you want it, more or less from 6k rpm. That said, corner speed as it is a small powered bike, still means the world if you want to go fast. Especially in rain, these bikes are easier to ride, as the power is much smoother all the way from 6-13k rpm, which means risk of highside is smaller.

So for me the 2smokers has much more character, but the Moto3 bikes is still a lot of fun and a bit easier to ride and a hell of a lot less mechanic work needed. NOT ANY CHEAPER!

I might try to join as well, been a while since i have had time to play GPB

A while since anyone have posted here. Thought i would try to get some pictures going again.

Here is a few pictures from 2019 of me racing my Moto3 bike. 2nd in swedish championship (best Honda, only one that could fight the KTM) and 1st in danish championship.

Cool pictures! Looks great

Thanks!

yeah i think setup and angle you hit is very important! Didn't change setup too much though.

Yeah pretty accurate! Managed a 1.45,2 but 1.44 was on the cards, just didn't get a good lap in after my 1.45,2. 1.44,7 was my ideal and sure with more laps 1.44-low would be possible

You know you can race your moto3 here. I look forward to seeing you at Scarborough next year, think you will do well!.

My teammate was the first Swedish rider there. Anders Richnau on a yellow, black and silver Honda RS125. So there is a possibility but it's very expensive coming from Denmark to the race there

Well there's a thought for a future race Meyer!
There are loads of photos of the recent real gold cup, some ace ones at Jeffries jumps (I took a few) but I think we have a better landing of the jump nose first, so they won't really match. Be good to see them though.
Thanks for pictures Mystic

What i felt was that if i could land slightly on the rear first over the jump, i had slightly less wobble, landing both wheels same time was instant wobble crash and front a tad before rear was managable in some cases.
Acc. Harder just before jump and acc. while in the air helped me a lot on the landings.

I can get some

I'm pretty sure i had a little airtime at least, would be cool to see how it looks compared to when the BSB guys fly over Cadwell Park

Cool pictures!

Any pictures of us flying too?

Sorry about the first corner melee, caused by me wobbling about like a drunk pensioner..
Anyway, thanks for organising it. Was fun

With that tight track, so close start and that first corner it was bound to be chaos!
I saw you wobble and knew i had to get up the inside and away
Luckily i just managed to escape the chaos.

Thanks for a nice race guys! was fun being back on track!
