Weel work doesn't want me on Sun so I'll come out to play.

Sweet, Fishie on the 50 giving the guys a hurry up.

I'll bring mine of course.

My 100 I've just put the YZ100 piston in last night. Without all of these valves to create friction what with the upittdy down all the time pissing about & the piston having to be made all heavy & lumpy on the top to accommodate them on a 4 banger; my 2 stroke piston is a thing of simplistic beauty.

Channelling the heart of the motocross engine I will be able to (legally) harness all this excess power. I was a bit concerned that with limited time that there would be deck height issues & indeed the compression will be a little lower & the squish area is at a steeper angle than the slightly flatter piston. But the clearance is now 0.6mm so its pretty close at the edge so should be working to an extent & gives me further scope to modify the head.

Really you guys don't have a hope, but please do turn up; it looks better when I wup the whole field.

Well now that is some talk. Bring it D boy. I have just finished transforming 45 for short track battle. Also running a new master cylinder that quite frankly is the shiz. Super powerful and nice and modular. Bike is running as good as ever. Body is fixed. So looking forward to some close racing. Also got my new GoPro camera so should have some good footage to post.

Bring on the fun.

Wicked! We should try get as many cameras on bikes as possible. I love watching the footage after racing, especially with all these high quality cameras showing up these days.

Awesome Dave, is it going to be quite a lot faster?

Great day peeps. For those interested GirrlRacer is fine despite a fractured humorous (upper arm) and mild concussion. She got knocked over by a passing rider who lost traction and she is adamant that it was a racing incident and could have happened to anyone. Top chick. She is very much looking forward to racing again in February, without crashing please.

oh no. poor lass. Racing can be a harsh mistress.

Anyways, thanks Clive Skunk & of course Hamish for getting this off the ground. Great to have a bike day.

Ditto that, what a great days riding.
Thanks guys for putting on a great event.

Yep great days racing. Thanks everyone for helping out and making it happen. I am sure GirrlRacer will heal fast. Unlucky for sure. Hamish you got to slow down. Way to smooth and fast. Here is a video of a good battle.

Great footage Rich. There is bugger all in it between you 3. Isn't it about time one of you spent hideous amounts of money on suspension? You're so much bigger than the other two. Not much you can do about that unless you go for radical removal of excess organs and appendages.

Yep going to ditch the FXR chassis. New bike project almost underway. NSR_MC21 with some nice suspension. Should be good when its all together.
