Well what an awesome start to the year!
I have had a great series in The Tailwind Promotions enduro summer series supported by Maxxis! The first two races were relative incident free for me but, when I returned home from the second race I found a serious failure in the rear mount on my Niner sir
so with race 3 and 4 still ahead of me, turned to my friend in bikes Shannon AKA Koiled Imports to rescue me with a bike suitable for the remainder of the series - insert a sweet Ti SS....
picking the bike up only few days before the race and riding it once was not maybe the best idea...
The outcome of Race 3 ?
A good race a great bike, but a few drive line issues meant I finished 4th. Ok so this was still a good result but with the desire to win the series overall I knew I to sort my shit out and have a cracking last race...
Enter Race 4!
With the knowledge I needed to finish the race, but also with a strong desire to finish well I thought, (THOUGHT been the operative word in this circumstance) I had corrected the drive line issues...
This was not to be the case. 1st lap I think I dropped my chain 4 times. Rolling into the pits explaining the problem to Shannon his first reaction was to say TAKE THE EON and make sure u sort out the seat post height as you’ll be riding it for the rest of the day ...... My reaction.....(OK and then bloody hell) in a VERY small voice...
I have to say what an awesome bike to ride for the next 6 hours!
The rest do the race was incident free apart from one episode where I needed to put my body between bike and the ground for the briefest moment.
The Finish?
A respectable 3rd place and with the confidence on knowing I had won the overall series...
Last Friday Night Tailwind Promotions held there awards night the Kookaburra Cafe a local venue in Paddington, as I have already said... it’s has been an awesome start to the year...............
