    Optimistic sellers

    Thread Starter: Rcktfsh

    This trader must be pretty hard to outdo as far as optimism goes. Bike has been on the market for a year now, wonder when the penny will drop he''s dreaming at that price. You'd have thought after a year he might have got round to the little bit of tlc required to get running. ...

    Suzuki gs1200ss wiring ignition

    Thread Starter: High Lord

    Some twat tried to steal my old , high km, faded screen, scratched crank cased , oh so smooth and torquey Suzuki gs1200ss. They failed and left it down the road with a cut and screw-drivered ignition barrel. What freaking amateurs, thieves these days am-I-right? It would be better for me...

    Yep its just about that time of year again! My favourite event of the year bar none. Heaven for BEARS racers

    Attachment 195316

    Where: POWERBUILT Raceway at Ruapuna Park, 107 Hasketts Rd, Christchurch

    When:
    -Friday 26th February- free practice.
    -Saturday 27th February- practice/racing.
    -Sunday 28th February- racing

    Entry forms and further details available from the BEARS website

    I have a feeling certain 'dark horse' 675 rider might just take home the silverware this year in F1....

      The guy in black leathers who walks across the grass to the bike and bends over before the shot cuts away is me. Pity you missed the crash! That crash ended my weekend and made a pretty good mess out of my left shoulder.
      This is a veiw of my crash looking back from the swingarm...

      Hi Cynna,

      you didn't by any chance get any video footage of the 'B' bracket races last year?

      Or know anyone else who possibly may have?

      Cheers

      Ah well, the SOT is always the last weekend in Feb (or has been as long as I can remember...which isn't long), so lets blame the Nats

      Sounds like he needs some tyres... Jay must have LOADS of good tyres to spare!

      I HEARD Jay has more TYRES than pies!

      I also heard said triumph guy is actually Dan Ornsby riding another bike.

      And being off Jays bike they'd be just about new, not as though he rides hard enough to wear them out

      Looking at his figure I think it's more pies than tyres

      Thanks, that would be great, I was on the Black Ducati yes, but using number 98.

      Yep same bike this weekend. Not sure if B or A bracket this time. Much appreciated any footage.

      That was an 'interesting' day.
      My bike started leaking oil- turns out that it had cracked the cases ages ago, and of course it had to pick the sound of thunder to show up. MUCH stress and running around, but thanks to the hard work and talent of Darryl Cotton from Advanced Auto Homes Ltd I'm back in business for tomorrow. Darryl basicaly dropped everything to help me out, so words can not adequately describe how grateful I am. My day was still a lot better than some others though...

      There's an amazing array of bikes out there- at least two RSV4's, numerous 1098's, a massively expensive NCR 2 Valve Ducati, a Norton Rotary, etc etc. Make sure you come out and have a look!
