  1. xr spartan 3

    Have been doing some research into f3 racing regulations.

    From what I can gather it will be eligible to race in club level f3 racing !! Competitive ? Probably not, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

    Made some small changes to the chassis, nothing major as my financial situation is about the same as a bath that has just finished emptying, there is nothing left..

    Things are on the up however and the future is look brighter..

    Stay tuned..

  2. project "xr spartan" 2

    More bits and pieces pulled off and filed under R (ugly oem catch bottle, wire brackets for hoses, other brackets, pillion peg mounts, grab rails, headlight support etc)..

  4. project "xr spartan"

    A few months ago now I killed the motor in my Spada, being that the reg has long since lapsed I'm not going to worry about putting it on the road again. I came to the conclusion the remains aren't worth much at all so will employ my engineering talents and turn it into a track scoot, WITH A XR650 ENGINE TRANSPLANT WOO DE DOO !!!

    It will be a while until I can afford a new motor so in the mean time I'll pretty much be pulling the chassis, brakes and suspension apart to give it all ...
  5. talking shit

    I seem to do it a lot, without even realizing even.
    Like my plans to buy a vfr, when is that going to happen.. I'm fuckin broke !

    I've got a project bike in pieces that needs a new motor, which isn't going to be too costly (well I hope) as I can do nearly all the work myself, I'm still servicing a fuckin bank loan, then there is a hefty tool account to pay off (quality tools are hellishly expensive), a tax bill, probably several hundred illegitimate babies with mohawks and ...
