Mind you, I bet you've fisted a few pigs before..........

I like the shilouette (how ever its spelt). Where else would i be able to run my 1568cc BMW?

Wot...it's getting SMALLER now? Told ya you were pushing the outer limit of the MNZ max. capacity for sidecars in NZ...and you'll hafta hide that supercharger better before coming to scrutineering next time

Pfttt...... why haven't you told Gordy to remove his ashtray, cup holders, sun visor and heated handlebars from his BMW sidecar yet? Thought you were a good scrutineer.......

It's ok by me if he wants to drag all that shit around with him..means I'll be able to pip him on the finish line...again...with my 800cc made in Hamilton 'M' thingy

There is a good F2 bike for sale in Aus, ( wests ) not sure on price but if you had that you should be up with the top NZ F2s of which i think there are 4 at presant. In the F1s there is Keiths unfinished shorty, Pates roller with blown engine, Jim Bilbys long bike, not sure on the ex speed record long bike from the S.I ( maybe kickha knows ) maybe a pirate bike !. Oh by the way who brought the Harris bike???

Someone that was prolly just sick of hearing that.

Pates roller with blown engine sounds a bit of a handful for me, neither of us are mechanically minded (although I'm guessing that will have to change).
Aside from bike length, what's the difference between a shorty and a long bike? I assume the long bike is good on the straights, and the short bike is good in corners. Do they both compete in the same races?
The F2 in Aus could be an option too.

Usually the long ones are black, and the short ones are white.....

Yep you'll have to learn some mechanical skills as there are very very few parts that you can buy off the shelf of these things, all modern F1 & F2 bikes run together so really it comes down to weather you want to get 600 or 1000 either way you'll be racing the same group of guys & girls at every meeting. The main difference between long and short is in a long bike the engine is behind the rider and they are all 1000cc engines and in a short bike the rider is leaning over the top of the engine and (in NZ) these range from 600cc up to 1300cc(?)

As helpful as usual there Scrivy. I see you've finally got your signature correct too

Yeah, 1300, eh Scrivy...?

[scrivy]

Or if you're into cheating, you can go up to 1600cc........... apparantely......
<- in that order....

....and still only get 6th fastest speed in a straight line....
