One side affect of the demise of the Triumph is there's a total lack of drama when I head to the track. Friday was a Honda day with Aaron Slight. It was also stinking hot and the last time I was at Hampton Downs was for AMCC Round 3, which had also been stinking hot. However, on that particular day not only had I learnt a lesson about how track temperature affects the tyres but the track had started falling apart. This ...
From the day i first started riding I have been aiming to get a CBR954. In my opinion they are one of the best looking bikes ever made. From the first day I saw one I was in love. Finally I found myself in a position to get one relatively cheap that I could really make my own. I first saw it on Trademe - CBR954 perfect trackbike, stripped to essentials - deregistered, no headlight, indicators, mirrors, left hand switch cluster and a few other bits and pieces. ...
Heres Aprillias rather similar conceptual take on reverse three wheelers the "Aprillia Magnet" Gotta say, looks like fun!!
One of the common questions I asked all riders was for an interval on brake fluid changes. The norm seemed to be every 1-2 years for most road riders.

After 30 seconds of silence, puzzled looks and a little ...

I'll be using a T bucket hot rod chassis & transverse leaf spring front end The back wheel will be using ...
I don't think I was supposed to do the TT this year (again!!....I missed last year due to hip, conditioning & ping problems). Steve and I were all booked when he managed to get taken out by a 4WD on the Molesworth... “Oh well”, I thought, “No one to share the cost, but she'll-be-right, I'll just do it myself!”... but not so! After my wee altercation with black ice last year, she-who-must-be-obeyed advised, “Like Hell! You're not doing a ride like that by yourself!”, so I advertised for another riding ...
WELL I've had an epiphany Have a look @ this period pic I AM LOVIN THIS!! The project has taken an unexpected turn......
