Turns out I didn't have your number but Google found Gr.Eng 5 min away from Darrins where I had dropped in. Apparently I missed you by ten minutes. But Dave showed me around. Lot of cool old machinery. Crazy what's in there.

I presume you only saw the sheds with the machinery, out the back there is the shed of no return, Christ only knows how many Syrians have gone in there...

I'm sure he won't care it's not a twostroke nor a bucket (or is it)... Spent the afternoon pondering what the other engine option might be like... Kinda like a mini moto2 bike... We could call it a BSR or SBR, I'm sure we can come up with a number of terms for those two options...

Right given its NYE: here is the 2014 Aims for GPR boys (lets hope we can tick off a few):

1. Get the Superlight F3 bikes running and out for the winter series. 550cc,400cc & 250cc. ---tick
2. Dig out the hydroforming kit from the back shed and start playing. ---underway
3. More Carbon Fibre parts.... ---tick
4.Workable CDI... ---solved with ignitech
5. Exhaust systems <90dB (make the bikes super quite so we can sneak up on people) ---tick
6. Another Bucket Sidecar --- underway
7. Start replacing the RS125 running gear with other stuff. --- Tick
8. Actually paint all the bikes (I said Paint: not spray bomb Kerry)... ---tick sort off...
9. Engine Dyno (so we can fettle to our hearts content) ---half way there (just needs a couple of bits).
10. 30Hp bucket (got to set the Bar high). ---- linked to item 11.
11. Cast our own GPR engine (now its on the list Scotty). ---- talking but CNC ran hot instead.
12. Fuel injection (maybe this item 4): --- underway
13. Dig out all the ZXR400s for the 90's carb class. ---- Carby class gone now...
14. Take "big stinky" to the sidecar "have a go day" in May. --- no one said which may...

Right time to tick off some of this....
And another four frames built over this period....
Not a bad effort over a couple of years...

Also significant effort toward getting some local racing going...

Also don't forget the hours and hours of development on the NSR300s. Most of the learnings were from then. Top job lads.

hope all the hard work pays off
