Default Just got my entry for the NW200 confirmed

Well excited now,

First time at the NW and will be riding my SV.

Anyone done it already?

I might well have to change the gearing......oh well first time in 12 months

Sounds pretty exciting. Was it expensive to enter and fund the trip etc?

What gearing are you running now by the way?

I'll drop you a PM

Your racing the NW200?!?! Wow!!!!

If you get on TV, shout out "sv650.org rules!!!"

I would if i got on tv, infact, if i was a motogp rider i would do it every weekend

Good luck, even if its a while away yet! When is it the NW200 this year?

Respect. As much fun as it looks it takes some guts to actually have a go at that thing. Best of luck to you, I hope you have a good onboard camera set up.

To be honest.....no, my SV's in minitwin spec so will be down on power a bit.

But it'll be the knowledge of the track that slows me down

Last year at the Ulster we dropped 45 secs from our lap times from the very first practice to the race, which just comes with knowledge of the circuit, I think!?!?!

The NW is a tad longer but apparantly easier to learn so we'll see how we go, IMPO you need to keep going back and maybe then........

Trying to get my tuned SV sorted for when we go, but not sure if it'll be done or not....fingers crossed
