Two wheels and sometimes one, on the tarmac
I've taken engine and new top end down to a local engine reconditioners, who after laughing hysterically at the size of the engine agreed to "give-it-a-go to make up a couple of brass bushes for the gudgeon pin and replace the replace the rods that the head and cylinder are bolted down with. The CBR125 rods are to long by about 21/2 cms. Apart from that it should all be good. So more money to be spent then I hope it's all done and I will have a kicking little bucket. Currently I am ...
Well, bike stripped down, top ends off and I thought well lets finish the evening by seeing if I can fit the 150 piston before turning in for the night, and , no. It's rod is to big for the conrod hole!!! The new rearsets are working a treat though.
The new top end for my CBR125 bucket, which a it's head already assembled!! So now to the garage and time to re-build. I hoping this will give me 4 more HP. I have also fitted new adjustable rearsets with folding footpegs. The non folding pegs of the old adjustable sets always were in the back of my mind and slowed me down. After the last meet where I crashed, but finally got comfortable on my bike combined with the new footpegs will well and truly put those thoughts to rest.

Well it's been a while since I've managed to get some photos of half my collection (this happens to be the Honda collection!) Will have to re do the shots and do it a bit better to do them some justice! For those who don't know ... CB250 aka lil'ol'hornet is Pete CB900 aka Big Ol'Hornet is Max CB1000R aka Predator is Cindi
Well its been a long while since my last blog in this serial which was mid May, since then me and my family have relocated out of wellington and moved up to rural Feilding. The whole Superstock question of whats going to be the bench mark for Nationals entry bikes has only now been formulated, agreed and published recently, so the R6 has been sitting out in the shed, infact ive only done 800kms on her giving the bike a good blast after the first 500kms. Very smooth super fast from 140kmh to over ...

It had been quite a stressful week. I had been checking the Metservice weather reports regularly, hoping for some good news in the 7 and 3 day forecasts – hoping that somehow, the weather reports were wrong. By Friday, I had resigned myself to a wet weekend hoping that we would get a few breaks in the weather when we really needed it. As we woke on Saturday morning the day promised a lot and we hoped for the best. We met at the Caltex at Fanshawe Street and huddled under the canopy ...
