Bucket update

**Skunk** · 26th October 2007, 22:41

Lots of kicking, a bit of checking, some more kicking, a bit of checking... and repeat over and over.

Spark - check.
Fuel - check.
Compression - hmm, some.
Fire - negative. nope. nada.

Try again tomorrow. Nothing else to do; might as well get a strong right leg.

No Gav. No fucking photos again. Doh!

have you checked the ignition timing isnt out?

**Skunk** · 27th October 2007, 08:34

Sully set it, so it must be right!

Actually, I'm going to do that now but I'm sure it'll be right. There's no backfire or anything.

Well, it runs. But it doesn't go. Sully spent a good part of the day here fixing the valve that wouldn't close (reseated the lot). Then fixed the timing and then left me to move the cam chain one tooth to see if that would fix the flatness.

It didn't.

Come on now Skunk, Sketchy's making a commiment to get th GP bike ready for the nationals.
Shouldn't we be supportive of the young

and get his bucket ready while he's concentrating on being a proper racer?

I'm ready for some more work if required, Ivan is talking to me again about yet another project but I don't think my consultations will lead to any real work.

I've already asked him how much it is... I need to get wheel bearings to get his sled going. Plan to do the gear lever tomorrow.

Stripped down the CB125T again and checked it out. Timing on the cam appears to be one tooth out - I've corrected it and it starts better but haven't tested it properly. Another job for tomorrow. Oh. And AJ's bike.

And what's this 'proper' racer shit? We're all 'proper' racers ain't we?

Yes we are Skunk, but unfortunately (for them) not everyone sees it that way.

I think myne and Sketchys bike are proper bikes

Nout beats a "genuine" race bike

A race bike is just a bike prepared for racing. Nothing more - nothing less. A 'factory' race bike just says you ain't got the skills to build it yourself.

I might be acquiring an AX100, just got to convince Catherine that I need another bucket.

I figure that I need a back up bike considering the run that I've had with the GP/RZ hybrid.

Will keep you all posted on how it pans out.

**Ivan** · 3rd November 2007, 08:06

Nothing beats the feeling of owning a GP race bike
