Awesome stuff. The 50cc roadrace class in New Zealand is called F5 hence the handle on several forums . But it also is screen refresh on PCs so I kept it. Both are increasingly irrelevant as I tap at my phone.

Our class is run either on smaller tracks or kart tracks so we favour 125 slicks. For many years I raced an Suzuki RG50 in a Honda RS125 GP frame later changing to Derbi.
Great fun and a lot of mixed races I spent time against hot 150 foulstrokes (our F4 class is 100 2T/150 4T) so corner speed is everything.

Sadly a few stays in hospital have me in retirement while kids still need parenting. Getting a bit heavy to be competitive. Think if I go back as an old man I'll be frustrated.
