Just found this. We are working with Mickey and he has had four offers to race in Europe and two in MotoGP for 2012, so now it's all about sponsorship! Now using his Thai name, Michael Kongaubon.
Who's Mickey Walker? I tried googling him but there's nothing about him. I guess he's a "pro" racer in your home country but not known around the world.
He's 19 and just went pro here in Thailand. Too early to tell if he's got world class potential but man can that kid ride! I expect we'll see him moving up the ranks quickly and if all goes well he'll be able to compete internationally sooner than later.
Nice riding man... I do Bira myself, but cannot compete with your times unfortunately :( EVEN on a '99 Fireblade LOL - My target time is 1:15.8 as that's my mate's best time (2004 Blade) and we're similar skill-wise. Will take a while to get to your times! That EN looks wicked in the chicanes - very flickable looking. Also I like the line you take in turn 2. Will try that one! cheers and remember to fill up the gas! :)) Antz
That 250 is fast. I remember my 250 can get to 170 kph. Mickey's skills are pretty awesome too.
I see your ER-6n has been fully modified....wicked! Did you put on two bros pipe on it? I just finished breaking in my ER-6n, so will be doing some mods on it soon...

Dude, that track looks mad fun. There seems to be a lot of chicanes, which are my favorite. Nice riding.

Looks like so much fun! Gotta go out practise for a track day on the streets:) Never ridden Bira but I guess I have to do it soon..

Ha ha! You've got it backwards matey- you don't ride streets to practice for track, you ride track to improve your riding on the street.
You'll be amazed how much you will learn and improve!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
