If you lads can remember that far back I put a GL 145 motor in a RG 50 Frame, it did go in but you have to make the bottom frame rails so they can be removed from the frame. Nice fit and it went ok. I think I had to do some work on the motor and as i finshed I looked across at the ZXR frame and said I think that fucker will go in there and it did in about two minutes. So the end of the RG it was, I think I sold that to Mike Cudby.

Yeah im gonna use the Rigider chassis as there wontbe as much frame flex etc and i mean it had a CB125t in it it will take a 100 single

Fark! how far back was that Fish? Ivan was probably just starting primary school.

Yeah those ZXR's have got heaps of room under the bonnet. I reackon a big (5 valve) single would be good for when theres no bucket racing.

Skunkworks Norf Welly Massif Bucket Factory (hereafter refered to as SWNWMBF (edit: fuck that it's too long too. How about The Skunkworks Factory)) will be open tomorrow.

Any bikes passing through can now be labeled as such.

BYO bike, beer, and food. I'm broke.

Bring me Bourbon.

Hey ill pop in around about 6-7pm is that alright or too late?

I've got the Smoke Machine™ running better I think

It revved out OK without load but wouldn't under load. So I've done the timing, the cam timing, the tappets, and the carbs.

Bling if someone can guess what the biggest problem was...

Anyway; two bikes to the track tomorrow! Yay (ish). Haven't seen quallman yet.

Im not riding in the buckets tommorow anyway but am next weekend.

So the real question is what bike are you going to race 2moro and are you going to the endurance race?

Just to cover some bases I guess a leak? Or dodgy spark plugs, theres really nothing else (ponders the truth in saying that as I type)

**Skunk** · 24th November 2007, 21:00

I'll try them both. Yep, doing the 'endurance' race. I've got a second rider lined up to partner me.

If the ZX125RT runs OK I may loan that out or run it instead.
