You northerners tracks are way to tight. it would so up the deficiencies in my riding.

Haven't raced a bucket for 11 years

Similar story to Mike Hailwood i suppose only without the money or talent.
Nah Kids and farm in the way.
But the farm is sold and I now get free private medical insurance. So a sure fire recipe for a return to upper mid packer i hope. PS that might be why i need 35hp

I have also gained a bit of weight 25 odd kgs so i really need 35BHP.

The frame is still 600km trip away but soon if i spent half the time riding or doing my bike well Watch out Mick Doohan cousins brother mate who can't ride that well.

JPS Norton evolution i will post the Cosworth later.

by any chance did you race in Christchurch at the woodgrim gp around 19 years ago before it was shut down? lm abit like you gone from 70kg to 95-100 kg )-; l only raced once in the last 12 years at buckets before we were not alowed back at the gokart track here

Yes i did a horror meeting my worst ever.
Magneto shit it self maybe a little to much material removed or because.the bearing was on the way out.
Someone lent me a stator and rotor.
Rode it for a bit but it was hammering it (the borrowed bits). I don't know who lent it to me either but thanks whoever it was.
Mag side main had let go.
These maladies were i believe related.
I had left a lot of bits on the coast.
The old man did the 600km trip to bring them over.
Mike the "greenman" i believe won so he keeps er... reminding us

Below the Quantel Norton

I believe it may have won A BOT Daytona event later on or was second.
Norton had a big problem with the engine it turned out as well as costing them huge money it had so little flywheels it would allegedly lock the rear wheel on overrun and had a water pump that was supposed to be impossible to bleed without burning or scolding the mechanic

Vaguely remember an alloy framed bucket could have been John Eyles? Though i think his was later maybe.

My most lasting memory was a midget Asian on a RG50 wasn't fast at all. but he was scraping his knee big time everywhere.

Was a great meet though, A fitting sendoff for the place. RIP Wigram and Carrs Road.

You may want to use a larger font otherwise the scrutineers way throw it out.
