Hopefully! Unfortunately we are both feeling like crap so no motivation.

Ah. Well I am pretty keen to test out my new machine. Might just see how the first race goes and make a judgement call then.

Good call, hopefully made early enough for people heading to the track.
It is so wet here or drain outside is not coping.

What could some one be doing that takes till 5:30am to get ready before the race meating? Did you have to hand weld the cracked cylinder?

Pfffffft, i've heard he's using a BMX frame.

Just a reminder that prize giving will follow the racing next month there is prizes down to tenth for A and B grade down to tenth for King of Kaitoke, third for Rookie of the year,one for best presented bucket and one for the most improved so you need to attend to claim your prize otherwise it goes to the next on the list.

What!? I don't have an FXR motor bored out to 156cc with hot cams in an aluminium ZXR frame with fully adjustable front suspension and 2/3 adjustable rear suspension. Oh wait I do. My turn to have the best bike. Suck it.

I'll get some pictures soon. I wanted to keep it secret and bust it out today.

**hmurphy** · 15th May 2011, 20:51

Here are some pics. It's not finished yet for sure, needs cosmetic work and a few ergonomic tweaks, suspension is set for going faster than 70km/h and a few other little things.

Overall it feels much nicer than the FXR but I have only ridden it slowly round a couple corners near my house earlier today. Basically it should handle just as well as Fishies bike but my motor is much faster. Now who's cheating...!?

Beautiful.

Had a couple of nice coffees and good conversion at the track. Bit of a downer not racing though as I wanted to try out my rebuilt forks and new seat position

Ahh, so that's who I saw just down from the track. Didn't recognise the bike or people at 100kph.

Yeah was pretty filthy weather. Surprisingly quite fine, well some of the time out past Gladstone for the trail ride.
