Good on ya Winja - individuality rules.

I remember seeing Roger Freeth on tv racing at Gracefield against two brothers (not the Hiscocks) - can't remember their names now but I think they were cleaning up in NZ street racing at the time.

Also Dave and Neville Hiscock and Robert Holden. Pity there is no racing in Gracefield anymore. The PC fun police are taking over.

WHEN IT SAYS REPLICA IT MEANS ITS A ROAD VERSION OF THE RACE BIKE, MY BIKE WAS MADE BY KEN MACINTOSH HE COPIED HIS BIKE HE PUT ON THE TRACK, IT WAS FAST FOR A ROAD BIKE OF THAT ERA, ALL YOSHI ENGINE BITS, IT DIDNT IDLE VERY WELL. I HEARD HE MADE ABOUT 6 REPLICAS.I SOLD IT FOR ABOUT 6 TIMES WHAT I PAID FOR IT, WHICH WASNT THAT MUCH

or in the case of the modern Hondas, the CBR600RR and CBR1000RR race bikes are copies of the road machines... the road bikes came out before the racers.

Roger was the inspiration for getting my McIntosh chassis. An old mate Rob Henry had one rusting away in his back yard. It was built for Dale Warren but Rob ended up with it. The original Glenn Williams was the other inspiration, on the turbo Kawasakis that Peter Hill built. Luckily the frame was for a Z1 engine and I had a spare engine that came with my Yoshimura/Moriwaki Z1. Another mate got the turbo kit off a Z1R-tc. Put the lot together with the usual forged pistons, clutch bits etc and away you go.

Interestingly it isn't all that light, what with the Brembo cast iron discs and the lump of a Z1 engine. 200kilos total, 101 front, 99 rear.

How things change. Even I could go round Pukekohe faster on a stock 600 now.

Of course being a sensible sane motorbicyclist I would never condone such hoonish activities.
