2012 Ultralightweight Thunderbike?

[truckstop]

Neither are good or right for the class. I got lapped at BHF by the 2 other entries in 125gp. I was the 3rd & last entry. 2nd place didn't do lap times that I did on my 125 thirteen years ago, AND STILL LAPPED ME!

You tell me that's fair and good for the class!!!!

LOL. Sorry about that. I was thinking as I went by... "what the what?"

I was way off pace at RRR this weekend and I still went by the EX250s without much effort, absolutely definitely the MD250 and 125GP bikes don't belong anywhere near the ULTB class.

The 125GP class should look a little better this year, I know of 3 people who acquired bikes over the winter in the MW region.

When I get sick of messing with a two stroke, getting an EX250 is a strong possibility if I don't go for a Moriwaki.

Thanks for checking in, & agreeing!

No problem, even if you basically did call me slow, which is ok, because I am. ;)

I wish I would have read this thread earlier because I would have said hello this weekend to the other 250 riders. They had all their wee ninjas lined up next to my wee 125 for the photo op.

Jen if the ULTB isn't run with ultra-light superbike I'd seriously be hunting a bike down and running it - looks like insane amounts of fun (plus the RA round I'm pretty sure you'd only have to let off the throttle in a couple three places hehe)

They paired ULTB with CCS Moto3 (125GP) at Roebling
Looks like ULTB with LWSS, and FMMW with ULWSB for Topeka.
No schedule up yet for RA

FWIW: I was actually talking about a race last year, at Blackhawk Farms.
I entered my ninja 250 in the GP singles race, & got lapped. The slowest rider still lapped me, even though I did faster lap times at BHF on my 125 over 10 years ago. Before a repave, with older tire technology.

Yes, I know. I was the 2nd place rider who lapped you. :)

[Jiggyfly]

I looked....& there was actually 4 of us! So it was the 3rd place rider! 

Regardless.......what are your BHF times?

[Jiggyfly]

Well, really the 4th place guy.....cuz I was 3rd.

[truckstop]

Hmm... ok, now I can't remember. LOL. I think 4th place broke and didn't finish? He's not in the results and Marc had a lot of mechanical issues that weekend.



I think my best times at BHF on the 125 were around 1.25-26? That was my third weekend ever riding a 125. I've got 24 stuck in my head but I think that was my best time at Putnam. Goal this year is to get down to a flat 20. What'd you get out of the EX250?

[Jiggyfly]

I think I did a 1:34 flat on the EX250, (ready for my excuses??? LOL)..... It was my first time on the lil Ninja.
I'm sure you recall, it rained right before the ULTB race & turn 7 was slipperyer than a snot bubble!!
Tip-toed in there, and baby stepped out.....so that in itself killed any good lap time potential.
I think :27's are possible there. It was also my first time back on BHF since 2003, & I was shocked at how much 1 & 7 had deteriorated!!! Thankfully, they've repaired both turns.

Where do you live? Which region are you going to be racing?
