Bit of an update

[White trash]

Well after the last rounds little off track excursion, resulting in some VERY smashed bits and pieces, WBP Racing have been very busy repairing and replacing parts on the K7 Weapon.

After Ray Clee fitted the Yoshi and gave it a quick dyno tune, the bike now has enough power to mix with the slightly quicker Kawasakis in a straight line. Continued suspension development from Robert Taylor and Kerry means we're making huge gains in the grip and stability department each time the bike takes to the track.

The awesome crew at Bikestore (www.bikestore.co.nz) managed to get me some replacement racing clipons and instrument bracket/fairing mount in record time and at a great price too. Coupled with the rearsets they provided the bike's now got a bit of serious bling on it and is starting to truly look like a race bike.

Once the fairings arrive from Autocycle Refinishers, it'll be off to Cannon Signage Concepts for a third set of sign writing. Jamie from South City Autopainters repainted the tank yesterday so this baby's gonna be nminter than a mint thing for next weekend.

Huge thanks to everybody that's gone the extra mile once again to ensure we're out there and doin' it again in a weeks time.

Excellent news Jimmy.

Go hard. :2thumbsup

[boomer]

Almost a full time job in itself innit bro? but it sounds like fun !!!!

I was sooooo tempted to be away with your forks the other day :woohoo:

Good luck at the next one bro...:done:

[Riff Raff]

Yeah I was a bit disturbed having to do a full body search of you before you left to make sure nothing had been misappropriated.

[Her_C4]

Excellent update Jimmy - thanks. I look forward to seeing you out on the track next week....:2thumbsup

[Mental Trousers]

Sounds like quite a few people are putting in lots of time to get the k7 ready. Now all you have to do is not break the fucking thing Jimmy!!

[HDTboy]

Surely you'd notice if he was trying to hide a fork on his person

[Grub]

Surely you'd notice if he was trying to hide a fork on his person

Not if he was pleased to see her

[HDTboy]

I'm sure she'd still notice the fork

Dave Key should be all set to sell his ones now he's sold the bike with a std front in it.

[GSVR]

Good work on getting the bike all pristine again. Seems you will have a bit more competition Rnd5 with another Gixxer and some young fellow on a Yamaha entered as well.

Should be a great weekend with decent length races.

[White trash]

Yeah thanks Garry. I'm under no illusions as to how tough each of these guys are going to be to beat but I've enjoyed the challenge thus far of more competitive and experienced racers forcing me to lift my game throughout the winter.

To be honest, untill the motor is sorted I'm not too fussed about the Sherrifs and Smiths, my main goal is to keep the bloody thing outta the mud and with a little luck, claw back some points on Neil, who's riding super consistantly and reaping the benefits. Getting an opportunity to race against Sam and Craig is a massive bonus as it'll show me where I REALLY need to work for the nationals.

[Ivan]

Go hard White Trash

[White trash]

Been hard today thanks mate, the missus wore it. Bwahahahaha.

Seriouly though, looking forward to seeing your progress too young fella.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yeah thanks Garry. I'm under no illusions as to how tough each of these guys are going to be to beat

Hurdle #1. Mental approach. What's so good about these cats mate?
Sure they're the fastest guys now...but one of the biggest things generally stopping people like you joining them is your mindset.

They have huge amounts of experience over you. You can't work on that. Just collect it. Try and latch onto one of them in a practice session and see how you go. Then look them in the eye and tell them you're gonna roost in their faces...or crash trying. Bet they give you a bit more room than usual after that.:clap:

Tell ya what mate, quit the procrastinating, get the Ohlins shit and you'll never look back. I can promise you that.

Thanks bud. You know me, you know where my head is. I know I can foot it with these boys when we go toe to toe on a level playing field. I actually think my biggest asset is my relative obscurity, no one's gonna be expecting a nobody to come charging through these dudes. :D

[Crasherfromwayback]

no one's gonna be expecting a nobody to come charging through these dudes. :D

I am........

[Nicksta]

awesome stuff Jimmy.... looking forward to watching you out there saturday and sunday!

[Ivan]

I am amped for the weekend all the bad luck with mechanical woes turned out to be a broken wire in loom. And was just connecting and firing and rattling loose and killing engine,


Its now sorted been out riding my 125 haha, Did some mean launches.

I am really hoping i start to progress soon, Its a bit of a prick nto really racing the 125 so long..


SO hoping just hoping it all turns right for me this round


Catch ya there

[inlinefour]

Hopefully once I get my act together and more to the point, the car set up to be used independantly, I (or we) will be able to get to some races and watch you strut yer stuff. Sounds like a nice set up, hopefully things will just get better and soon we will all see you challenging the other top riders. Enjoy the bike and try to forget the work done to get it back to race trim. Only thing that is likely to do is to slow you down, bugger that. :eek5:

[scrivy]

Hey White Crash, :blink:
I don't know if I want to take you out on the chair at the 'Have-a-go-day' in October.

Imagine if I injured the next NZ Superbike champ....... Fark, that wouldn't look good on my CV!! :whistle:

Keep it on two!!

[Joni]

I am........Me too :yes:

[Toast]

Fark, up against Sam Smith. I might sit out one of the races just to watch that! Good luck with it, I reckon you can match him if you just keep riding how you have been (save for the crashing on cold tyres). Go for it :niceone:

[Kickaha]

no one's gonna be expecting a nobody to come charging through these dudes. :D

some of are expecting just that, not that we'd want you to feel pressured at all :lol:

[Robert Taylor]

The guys you refer to are there primarily for testing and to rough out set-ups. So not too much should be read into the results, as there is a lot of work to be done.

[Kickaha]

Looks like he's got his trailer sorted

I think winning or binning is THE ATTITUDE!!!!

[scrivy]

I see you will race anything nowadays WT!!!:niceone:

[scrivy]

You getting young hoodies to advertise for you now WT? :clap:
