I've gone and done it!

Post by Crazypainter »

Not too sure who on here remembers me???

Well after a lot of expense, time and labour in the garage I have started racing!!! Some would say your an idiot others who know me on her will say it was only a matter of time!!

Well I've built and started racing two Honda CB500's! (Reserve the laughter please they are amazing bike and super close racing!)

Anyone who is on Facebook and would like to follow the success please check me out on Facebook, search George Davies 117.

Currently I've completed four of nine rounds.

Brandshatch was the first I took a third in the wet,

Donnington was the second round and managed... 4 X seconds place!

Snetterton was the third, I won the first race with ease! But unfortunately l got took out and bike smashed to pieces!

Fourth was Cadwell park, had engine trouble (blew the rings and head) managed the second day on an untested wet bike and took a second and third with a slipping clutch!!

I am racing at Oulton park 1&2 July next would love to see some guys there, kettle is always on.

Thanks for taking the time to read this guys!

I'll upload some pictures as soon as I figure out how!

George

I had a CB500 a couple of years ago. They're a hoot to ride and sound great with a slip on. Love watching them race.
