Bikes of the

Here we have some of the bikes that are raced.

Bikes from Ian's "Noddy" in all it pre season glory, recently painted and cleaned and polished and serviced ready for the first off-track excursion of the season!

The KTM is a popular choice for the open class, though more expensivethan some others it is very capable. In the hands of people like Robin Sims can be a class leader

 

 

 

 

Or bikes like the Armstrong – a cheap Rotax powered machine that in standard form is a good machine to learn on, it doesn’t bite and can be
quite competitive in the right hands.

 

Unlike the YZ490 – now fallen out of favour as a competive bike due to it’s age and power delivery – downright vicious!

The specials can be fun - some very competive - others not so!
(It's a Harley Ironhead Sportster in a FZ400 chassis by the way)

 

The Honda CR is D*^n fast and very good horses for money too. Consequently it's a very popular and competitive bike.

 

 

Motocrossers, somewhat ubiqutious, but for a good reason

 

 

The TDR 250 is a fun machine for the road legal class, quick, light
- but not with tyres like this!This one now has a set of stickies on it

 

 

Now this is a machine I'd not expect to see on the hills,
and not suprisingly it's not the fastest. But the fun of Hill Climbing
is that speed is not all - it's getting the best out of whatever it is you are riding and besting your best time.
Oh, and having fun making a good looking bike that's great fun for not many pennies.
