    I only saw the bike tied down in the van and it looked like it had an enormous head angle, but with the forks extended it looks like its trying to take off. But I was being polite as he seems a nice guy and its still the coolest classic 50 I've seen in the flesh here.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Aside from the well known 2 or 3 suppliers who advertise on trademe, does anyone know who's got moulds for small/odd size/classic fairings ?
    Foxton fiberglass had a very wide range at one time - if that is a TA fairing, that's probably where it came from.
    Even the factory early air cooled Honda 125 fairings were common at one time.

    I better update the GPR page at some stage.

    When you say "my last bucket build" does this mean it's all over??? No more GPR frames?

    I think Grump is right about TA125; I recall Pete telling me something about getting spares for GT sister bike.

    Ah, the days of our youth, when we were slim....

    Sadly, Scott and I amongst others here, are standard size Kiwis - large...

    Ha - side effect of the pacemaker, they won't let me use a chainsaw. Apparently the rotating magnet magneto can affect the pacemaker's electronics...

    But I still split my firewood with an axe....

    You'd better plan on running it down here with CAMS then....Pop over and have a talk to Pete Sales about running a PCRA legal bike in the Register's "Classic 70's class. Much angst....

    Do you mean like building your own frame?
    Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
    Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.
    . . . That shit's Nasty.

    Well done for bringing the thread back on topic....

    Yes, amongst other things. CAMS has a well established policy of "if it's built as a period style bike but not necessarily an exact replica, we'll accept it"
    And given the number of specials built in the SI in the classic period, this is sensible. The register are not in favour of this I'm told...

    Their "Classic 70's" class is supposed to be for their pre 76 stuff and the PCRA/MNZ rule book pre 72's. They've balked at a couple of MNZ legal bikes to my knowledge. I'm also told that for the upcoming CAMS visit North to race against the Register, CAMS will do the eligibilty for anything running under the MNZ rules. You should be safe Neil, LOL.

    .
    Even back when the south Island meets were run under the CRR banner the south island was always a lot less pedantic.
    Those original Cust and South bridge and Greymouth and Ruatapu meets had a lot of stuff that would not pass muster up north, But we were not racing for sheep stations.....
    the grids swelled though with the advent of CAMS as it allowed a vast array of cheaper yet competive bikes.
