Henk you are right; I'm a pussy at the moment and the bike is much better than I am currently.

not a bad situation to be in.

but the first aim was to get back out and finish some races and to get some confidence back (its been a while) and then Qualify for A-grade.
Don't forget the GP was my first real outing on any motorcycle in three years (track, dirt or road) on a untested bike finish the Friday beforehand; and Easter was spent resolving some more tuning issues ($60 was cheaper than a dyno run and I got to catch up with everyone)... and while I shouldn't throw stones in glass houses; didn't I finish in front of you at the GP?

and one of the very few two strokes home....

But in all seriousness you are bang on about what I should be aiming for and you are not alone in making those comments over the last couple of weeks.

right re-commence the general shit talking...

aha I knew.. I always thought you meowed when you walked past im glad you dont rub up my legs like you do with other people in the pits.

Um yeah the GP, I finished the race standing on the pit shed roof when my engine quit after seven laps. Suspect bent valves but as a four stroke rider the idea of taking my engine to bits to try and found out what went wrong is something I'm having to creep up on slowly.

Great ride I think on a bike with only 8hp and a weight of about 90 kg . FXR 2 valve 100cc

Well after a number of years changing my mind about the F4 build and finally Crazyman coming to rescue with the ultimate F3/F4 solution; I've got a number of bits waiting for another project.

Could a F5 be on the cards (might as well have a crack at all F classes)???

Don't know what Wifey will think about another bike appearing in the shed (I think I need off site storage).

Anyway watch this space.

The way i see it you either

Have too many bikes ............Yeah Right

You could have too Many Wife's.........Not sure on the optimum, but a Number is somewhere between 1 and 0 i Guess.

Maybe if you upped your wife/bike ratio. (IE 2 wifes two sheds 2 beds)
