- After riding round at the back with a carb issue in race 1. Eiher being too rich or the choke playing up, we dropped the needle to a leaner position fiddled with air screw and she came to life 😄 Probably the best the bike has ever run so far.
2 tip overs in this race which was a disaster after a wicked start and opening laps. Trying to catch the red rocket 🚀 👀😎 .
Looking forward to doing some pre 83 125s on the tiddler rather than open class :)))

Fantastic Video!! Thanks for Sharing!! Vintage bikes RULE!!
No worries mate :) thankyou ! I agree, it's cool to race old school 😁
Awesome had one brand new in 1982 awesome bike!!! Won quit a few races fun times!!!
Brilliant stuff mate :) Definitely the bike to have back then!
Nothing like seeing the chequered flag 🏁 😁
Wow!
What a move in that first corner.
Fanks !! Sometimes going tight can pay off if you're lucky 😅
Bike seems to run very well for its age ,You were flying , shame you fell twice , should have ridden straight over fallen bike ! You are right you need to be racing against other older 125 s to give you a chance .
Thankyou mate it's taken a fair while to get her to this point 😅 Yes was gutted, as you say should have gone for the monster truck ! 😂.. I would like to do farliegh next year with a full line up of 125s. Looks great fun :)
You seem faster on this bike than you do on that RM500. I can relate. I'm faster on my 1981 PE175than I am on my 1982 RM465 out on the trails that I race.
😂😂 will have to do a lap time comparison at the same track, some of the 125 riders at farleigh etc , set some ridiculously fast lap times 👀💪
That pe175 is a sweet bike from what I've been told,,, 😁
