There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

Great stuff!
It has happened earlier than I thought it would, although it was always going to happen. You should have seen him at our race meets, he would start with the other 125s at the back of the 400 field and just carve the shit out of them. The 400s have a huge field, but he would nearly always make it to the front before the end, often with enough time to finish with a nice lead.
He always had lots of money and backing behind him (parents) but you can see why. Dude is just quick as. He has won numerous Junior national championships. Nice guy too, not that I knew him well or anything, but would always have a quick chat at race meetings and he always had a smile on his face.
At turn 1 at QR he actually looked more like he was tucked in trying to get more speed out of it than actually hanging off! Very impressive.
Good luck, go hard!

He`s the same at EC. I saw him once at a track day. Watched him from the top of the pits,he comes down the straight,im pretty sure he dont break for T1,and rolls off the throttle for like 0.05sec {about 5 metres} there is a line across the track and a little dot thats the distance.And the look on the supersports/superbike riders face is priceless ,
a teenager on a 125 just carved me up 
I am proud i ride 2 YAMAHA`s

I so wish I had learned to ride when I was really really young..... 
In any case, it sounds like we have a very talented youngster on our hands.... too bad he is on a KTM, but it is a start...... (apparently the KTMs are a little down on power... but perhaps the 125's are ok.... it might only be the 250s)

Yeah, Kallio does ok, but for a bit of luck he could have been the champ last year, though this year the mva aprilias are giving everyone a kicking.Neka79 wrote:casey did ok on the ktm 125...... shows wot a good rider can do...Stereo wrote: In any case, it sounds like we have a very talented youngster on our hands.... too bad he is on a KTM, but it is a start......

Good luck to him though, will add a bit more interest to the 125s, hope he does well.
