Right thought I'd start the thread of this time.
As we know for those that follow our dumbass antics down here Kickaha has blowen his 2nd motor up in as many meets, actually he managed 2 bikes in one meet, his and a borrowed bike.
well these bikes were all Suzuki so after he rooted the last one we was put onto a Honda 125s and unbelivable he dident munt that bike.... so I'm thinking as he has ran out of Suzuki engines at his joint I'd offer him my new MT100mb.
Now I was the only twit daft enough to ride it in the bears meet last w/e after all it hadent ran for 4yrs and the tyres were 15yrs old..... but hey it went like a haunted shit house and thats a good thing

Kickaha said sweet but.... it needs some work so he borrowed a 17" rim and slick for the frount and Diesel Pig gave him a beter 18' treaded tyre for the rear.... a few we minor things and its a goer.
However "green" fuk that I wanted to do a 'dangerous' job on it hell Hondas arnt green

So what you see below is the new straight out of a can racey silver over red.... dont it look grand, Kickaha dont mess it up, and please FFS dont blow the bloody motor its a real gem that one.

KBer's to attend should be Diesel Pig, Nipper, Bren_chch, TonyB and K14.... lets see what damage we can do this time round lads :spudflip: also our resadent KB photographer Rashika should hve the pics up with the after math write up courtesy of Kickaha

That looks terific D. Why did you paint the 'spannie though? Looked cool and "factory" like it was.

You're a brave man letting ol' Killa ride your new bike too.

nice stickers D, where u get them from?

[Kickaha]

After fucking yet another motor I really couldn’t be bothered building another one during the week so I was going to give this round a miss and then Dangerous offered me the MT to ride, having checked it out at Ruapuna I wasn’t that keen but after Brent said he wasn’t going and I could borrow his front wheel with a slick on it I was slightly more enthusiastic, I checked the rear Michelin slick and found the serial which confirmed it was made in 1987 and thought, that was a recipe for a high side and the potential for injury was quite high

I wandered off to Diesel Pig’s place and he dug out a 18 inch rear of slightly younger vintage, so I took it to work and fitted it up, about lunchtime I decided I’d had enough of working for a living and buggered off to Dangerous place and fitted it in the bike and gave it a quick check over, Dangerous was busy fucking about painting it and having a real problem deciding on the colour scheme, having gone from green to silver and then changing his mind yet again and then finally settling on a red and silver and for a bit of extra wank painting the pipe as well

Packed up the gear and was good to go, with a 6.00am start and having to pick up two bikes and TonyB on the way I should have been getting an early night, but as usual played around on the net until 10.45, now wether it was the thought of riding the MT or the anticipation of the grievous bodily harm I thought it might inflict on me I didn’t sleep particularly well and was up before 5.00am showered and tossed the gear in the ute and was good to go, shot off to Dangerous place and picked up TonyB , as we’re loading up Diesel Pig comes past and gives us a wave and a few minutes later we’re on the way and a couple of hours later we’re pulling into the track

I manage to cut myself twice while cutting some numbers out of tape for the borrowed bike and bleed a bit over them , K14 is fixing his rear brake which Diesel Pig rooted at the last meeting buy trying to use it after the torque arm had fallen off but that done and all the usual formalities observed, riders briefing comes and goes and we’re called up for practice

Sitting on the dummy grid and I glance across at K14s bike, I then reach across and unscrew the sprocket cover bolt and hand it to him, he looks down and notices the other one loose so unscrews it and dumps the sprocket cover on the side of the dummy grid as we go out

First impression are that the bike is fast, I tag along behind Dangerous and K14 and can pull out and pass them with ease but I’m a bit more gentle into the corners especially as I dig the chamber in at the hairpin on lap one but we chase each other around for a few laps, I crank into the decreasing radius and as I flip to the right K14 is trying to stick it up the inside and gets caught out, he still makes the pass but does it by bouncing over the ripple strip and scaring me sufficiently that I let him through, Dangerous is just about falling off his bike laughing at K14s antics and before we know it practice is over

Race1

TonyB gets a good start and I’m doing ok as well, I’m still taking it gently and Diesel Pig rides around me at the decreasing radius, Dangerous and K14 pass me down the straight, the bike start dying occasionally and although it feels like a fuel problem I’m wondering if it’s nipping up, I crank it into the right hander and smack the pipe into the ripple strip and feel the rear slide but on the positive side I‘ve just increased my cornering clearance by flattening the pipe, I notice TonyB standing at the flag marshal point before the chicane and as it turns out due to his shoddy preparation his gear lever had fallen off although perhaps in his desperation to stay in front of K14 he’d decided to shed some weight and intimidate him by throwing it at him, Cotton as usual is fastest bucket and I’m lagging a bit far behind to see if K14 or Dangerous comes out quickest

Race2
We pull the head and check that it hasn’t nipped up and then play with the carb float level and I change the gearing before going back out TonyB gets another good start but Diesel pig leads us onto the straight and then Cotton blows past and goes after him, after an average start I’m slowly reeling them in when Diesel Pig puts his hand up and pulls off the track, Cotton slows down to play and having learnt a few lessons from his cock up last time makes sure he knows what lap the flags coming out to make sure he’s in front over the line, I hammer it into the chicane a lap before the end and have another bad moment when the pipe decks out again with Bren_chch saying he could hear it digging in from the spectator bank, so I finish second bucket with the rest trailing somewhere behind me

Race3 (sort of)
Dangerous is just about in tears after I spill fuel on his new paint due to K14 supplying me with a dodgy funnel to top up the tank and as we gear up for race 3 my usual race day gremlins strike again and the bike wont go, as I wander up to watch I notice TonyB has fallen on his head at the hairpin after loosing the front in a desperate attempt too stay in front of Dangerous after his tactic of banging into him hadn’t worked, with myself not starting and TonyB falling off Dangerous manages a career best of 2nd (only way he’ll ever get that high really)

We pull the plug out of the MT and crank it over and there’s fuel spewing out the plug hole a few revolutions and with no more coming out we attempt to fire it up again and it fires straight away, Dangerous for some strange reason attempts to stop the rear wheel spinning and it just about takes his hand off but it’s running sweet again after it‘s pumped a few litres of fuel out the exhaust pipe, a bit of fiddling by Wayne and Cotton and they set the carb back as it was to eliminate the flooding problem

Race 4
Dangerous reclaims the MT and I’m on his twin but it proves to be a bad choice for Dangerous as the MT dies at the decreasing radius on the warm up lap, Diesel Pig is on Cottons bike and Cotton is on K14s (he’s had enough as he’s riding two bikes) and TonyB is feeling left out as no one want to ride his (serves him right for crashing it) The organisers decide on a Le Mans start and because they have sense of humour they make us climb over the wall that divides the track, the flag drops we scramble up the wall run across the top and jump down the other side and we’re rooted before we even get across the track, I get across on the bike and are first Bucket off and hammering it, it’s not long before Diesel Pig and the RG150 lads start coming past, I slowly gain on Diesel Pig and get back in front only to have him come back past again, I’m having to roll off the throttle as the CB125T is under geared and I’m hitting the 12000rpm limit at 2/3 down the straight but I go off the end into the left hander with it pinned, I chase him around another lap and catch him through the right/left of the start finish I’m on the gas as early and hard as I dare onto the straight and pulling along side and past only to have him come back past around the outside at the hairpin, I glance behind and Cotton is coming to grips with K14s bike and slowly gaining on us after having a bit of a scare when he digs a peg in and slides the rear, but as I lead into the hairpin on the last lap and Diesel Pig doesn’t come past I know I’ve got him and lead him over the line by less than a bike length with Cotton not far behind and TonyB after getting his bike and gear rechecked also finishing

Another awesome days racing and isn’t that Dangerous a top bloke after knowing how many bikes I’ve managed to stuff lately letting and despite my continual slagging off of his love for Honda product

errrrr I’m still not sure why Rashika had her head in his lap though when he pulled out and passed us on the way home and why he was giving us the thumbs up at the same time, he reckoned she was tying his shoelaces but I can’t work out why her head would be bobbing up and down while she did them up

[Joni]

Sounds like a great day hun...

[White trash]

Great write up as per usual Kickaha. You guys are a bunch of characters, that's for sure.
