Cheers mate. Now I know what the pile of parts is supposed to look like. (p/t) Guess I should start on it one day...

[xwhatsit]

That was very interesting. Two strokes considered harmful -- even in the eighties :D

I, too, would like 60hp in a 142kg frame. Lets get to work, GiJoe1313!

Not exactly - a few bits. I collect bits as I find them then attempt to make a bike. As for the tests - OK. I'll collect anything these days :yes:

laffing gawd that cracked me up reading that .. excellent .. & most of the stuff they say is soooo on the button ..

Betsy was wallowing when going over bumps .. Dogs tightened the rear shock today & wow nice & hard .. LOL now definately does not wallow ..

I have stuffed up going around a few corners & either backing off speed or occassionally grabbing a handful of brake & she responds no hint of mis behaviour ..

I definately get off her knowing that I have ridden a bike & totally smiling my ass off .. she is definately a chain smoking hussy .. but a whole heap of fun while ya riding her ..

again cheers for that Bill .. You rock .. :yes::scooter::scooter::scooter::scooter:

Glad you enjoyed the read, it's always worthwhile knowing all those extra wee bits about one's bike :Punk:

A mate had one years ago whilst myself & the others I rode with were in the litre brigade and we'd swap around every now & then and hopping onto the RZ was always a hoot :cool: everyone always got off it smiling like a Cheshire cat :D

I'll scan it off and post it up soon :niceone:

Yeah I'll knock-off another copy for you, it's no problem.

The sizing will effect copies :yes: as the original scans are 2.5mb for each page, so to post them here I have to reduce them to large document size which under 1/3 of the original.

I have run out of bling to give since I was running mad with it like a preacher in the choir! :o :pinch:

I was meant to go to sleep so I can be ready to face the scrofulous hordes of pupils in the morning. Ah screw it, I can always ride my dear ol'Daisy after schools out! :innocent: :woohoo:

And yes to all of the above, when people turn up to spanner nights, I force them onto Daisy so she can give them the learn about good, honest, two-stroker smoker fun! :yes: :headbang: :rockon:
