A little Trashy waits.

[White trash]

This is by no means a winge thread, Christ knows I'm the luckiest KBer around. Just a little slutted right now.

Monday last week I got the call I've been awaiting for a couple of months. Reputable engine tuner, "All the bits for your motor are in, drop the bike off, I'll need it no longer than a week."

So I mosey on in, drop off the bike, quick chat about exactly what's happening and I'll pick the bike up next Monday (the one just gone). Book today off work to get a feel and a geometry setup for the new tyres (THANKYOU VERY MUCH DUNLOP:niceone:) I'll be running from here on in at Pukekohe, and also book in for Kiwi Trackdays on Sunday to fine tune bits and pieces under the guidance of Mr Taylor.

So yesterday, the bike's still not finished. Wont be 'till Saturday afternoon EARLIEST, more likely Monday. Christmas Eve? Are you shiiting me?

I gotta be in Wanganui Christmas day for what will be the biggest meeting of my racing career to date. If anything doesn't go right and I can't get the bike Monday, I'm fucked. Probably gonna be fucked anyway riding a bike with more power, no setup time for new tyres notoriously difficult to setup for on a (goat) track I've never ridden on.

What a fucken laugh.

[Cajun]

yeah good things take time tho Jimmy, you get there tho mate.

Good luck with boxing day races. you will get there and go awsome.

[Joni]

Yeah your lovely lady told me this morning... all I can say is ==> :cry:

I will hope with all my hopes that they can speed it along and that you can get some testing in!

[White trash]

Yeah thanks guys.

Gonna be a severly uphill battle Neal. Riding against NZ top racers is tough enough, you don't really need any handicaps. And I'm fucken handicapped on a GOOD day, let alone at the moment.

[Quasievil]

Fuck Fuck Fuck !!

Mate I feel your pain.

anything I can do you ring me okay, transport or what ever.

[White trash]

Paint and lend me the Ten? ;)

[Her_C4]

Blooomin' heck Trashman, that ain't the news I wanted to hear..... Still - look on the bright side, your adrenalin will be pumping from the stress (as will be the guys that are working on the bike) and IT WILL BE READY IN TIME. :sweatdrop In the anticlimactic aftermath you will be racing sooooooo hard out and give the BEST performance to date. :calm:

:eek5: :woohoo::niceone::apumpin: But if that doesn't work quite that way - then here is a absolute truckload of good luck to help.....

[Quasievil]

Paint and lend me the Ten? ;)

If I thought you could handle a ten mate it would be yours you know that

[jrandom]

Well, you're welcome to borrow the GSX1400.

:laugh:

Seriously, though. That sucks. It's never impressive when people you're relying on to do a job on time let you down.

:no:

[Keystone19]

I can relate...

[skelstar]

Good luck with Wangas Jimmy... wish i could be there to watch

[Mental Trousers]

Paint and lend me the Ten? ;)
You're better off swiping someone's 600 for Wanganui mate. A 10 let alone a fire breathing rocket is a prick of a thing around the Cemetary course.

Know of any spare K7 engines lying around?? Might be the midnight engine swap then drive to the races without any sleep routine.

[Omega1]

Jesus Mate that's rough, I'd lend you my 1340 but you'd have to strap on a couple of nitrous bottles, I'll be at Wanganui on boxing day cheering you on.

[/I] routine.

Awww bugger - I was going to offer ya' 'The BEAST' but hestitated seeing as it just wouldn't go with ya' helmet and leathers - NOT a good look ..... now I see MT is right - a 600 would be a better way to go.. :lol:

Oh well - next time maybe... ::Pokey: (tui anyone?)

:rolleyes: :hug: :bleh:

[sugilite]

Don't sweat it too much dude. (assuming you have a bike!!!)
The straights at Wangas are so short the dunlop 'weave' won't have time to set in, Wanganui uses very different suspension settings to anywhere else, so you will be pretty much in the same boat as most (and you have Robert in your corner) The track is short and easy to learn, IMHO. You will have a blast, enjoy. :woohoo:

[ManDownUnder]

You can :killingme borrow the :killingme RF but... :killingme

naaaa - you want to race...

[imdying]

I can totally relate. I bloody hate tradesman. Useless unreliable pricks :angry:

[Shaun Harris]

Bugger mate, that is why we offered your team owners the contract we did, it was so all would be, as it should be, the way buisness is supposed to work, not could be.

Good luck man, but when you do get it back IT WILL BE GOOD, you and I both know He knows what he is doing!

bugger eh, my enging builder is doing bugger at all the moment, and he is the same and only engine builder I have and will always use, he knows his stuff, and talks directlt to my UK/USA contacts for new idea,s re, performance these days.

[sunhuntin]

good luck dude... i take it you will be coming regardless?

[enigma51]

You can borrow the 750 or even duncan's thou he has ohlins and brembo's

Thanks bro, appreciate the support.

I should note that said tuner is not at fault, more a subcontractor who has his own troubles. And as you say Shaun, it WILL be phenominal once complete.

I have every confidence the bike and rider will be at the Cemetary and Craig, if you're reading this mate, you're history :D:D:D

Thanks to the whole KB community too for all your support and the completely selfless offers of bikes to ride. You guys ROCK!!!

bollocks:woohoo: I'm that confused- even I do not know who I am man

[Drew]

bollocks:woohoo: I'm that confused- even I do not know who I am man

LOL, must be something to do with that part of the brain that errs on the side of caution methinks. I know several fast riders who live in a dazed state, I do too but I'm still workin on gettin fast.

[Sanx]

Hey Trashy. If you're looking for a tame 600 to take round Wanganui, the Blade's all yours :laugh:

[merv]

Trashy we'll all be there supporting you whatever you ride.

Go well my man.

Merry Christmas too, but not too merry before the day after eh!

[Kickaha]

I gotta be in Wanganui Christmas day for what will be the biggest meeting of my racing career to date. If anything doesn't go right and I can't get the bike Monday, I'm fucked. Probably gonna be fucked anyway riding a bike with more power, no setup time for new tyres notoriously difficult to setup for on a (goat) track I've never ridden on.

Maybe we could find a sidecar for you to hang off instead:woohoo:

[Quasievil]

Know of any spare K7 engines lying around?? Might be the midnight engine swap then drive to the races without any sleep routine.

ermm...I do!! but meh doubt the owners will lend it..


on the other hand...you can always borrow the trusty 810...I'm sure we can scab a top fairing and a front subframe!! its a different motor now mr clees given her a tune!! none of this wanting to wheelie bullshit in ever gear till forth off the thottle!!!

[boomer]

ermm...I do!! but meh doubt the owners will lend it..


if he wears my leathers and helmet he can have it

[scrivy]

Maybe we could find a sidecar for you to hang off instead:woohoo:

He'd get vd just from using your handles on your chair!!! :bleh:

[White trash]

I'm not fucken TOUCHING his handles. Divo beat me to it......

[Bren_chch]

And as you say Shaun, it WILL be phenominal once complete.

Watched one of his k7 engines at our last round, FUCKING MONSTER and then i got the dyno results the next weekend... mind blowing!! not sure work you are having done, but if its anything like what i have seen then you better get some velcro and strap ya hands to the bars!

[riffer]

So... I'm not going to the races today due to other commitments, dammit.

Did Jimmy get it sorted?

[Sanx]

So... I'm not going to the races today due to other commitments, dammit.

Did Jimmy get it sorted?

Yep - he got it sorted. Was on the track dialling it in on Sunday, and then had a small moment where someone ran him off the track whilst doing 200kms over the hill.

Monday saw Frenchy, Gixser, Affman and WT working on the bike (with myself and MrMe standing around mainly drinking piss / coffee) - and it was all good to go on Xmas day. Looking foward to hearing how the skinny bugger gets on down in Wanganui.

[slowpoke]

Hmmm:
1. it's a few days before Christmas when everyone is maxed out
2. it's leading up to a high profile meeting
3. the meeting is at a notoriously horsepower unfriendly track that you aren't familiar with
4. you've already got the latest and greatest nicely set up dyno tuned K7 thou with bulk neddies on tap

....and you risk missing the meeting for even more horsepower you can't use anyway?

[DEATH_INC.]

Hmmm:....and you risk missing the meeting for even more horsepower you can't use anyway?
It's more a case of getting it done before the nats.....said engine builder is busy so ya get it done when ya can....
On the plus side I hear the lad went ok :niceone:

[Colapop]

Spoke to Trashed after what was his last race. He was absolutely f*cked! Been a tough road, getting meeting out the way - a big learning curve I think (me not knowing shit about it) but from the way he was riding he looked like he was having a fine time! Good work Trashed... ya looked like ya deserved that beer!

[gixerracer]

What happened to you jimmy the only time I saw you was in the pits and even then I was passing you? O thats right the shafted you on the grid gee lucky im a factory rider a:laugh::doh:

[White trash]

Hey Craig, I've no doubt my position in the field had nothing to do with my getting moved back on the grid. But I'm sure you'll aggree that a rule change after the fact is unfair. I mean you rode the qualifying session and deserved your front row position. Surely it's bad sportsmanship for those that didn't qualify well to take a position next to you up the front while those that did get shuffled rearwards?

[skidMark]

If I thought you could handle a ten mate it would be yours you know that


trashy can't handle the brute force of a kawasaki.

hes used to bikes with custom flexy frames.

[Sanx]

Skidmark, should you ever manage to get your hands on a ten, I'd put money on Jimmy managing to thrash you round a track riding a GN250...
