    With time and training you will grow to be the oldest and most treacherous of us all young 'Racer.

    actually Im boulding a vehicle for a race class us "oldies" are gonna be eligable for. -supercharged zimmer frame racing.
    and Yoda/WT i cannot detect if it is the dark side of the force coming out in young racer-
    methinks he has gone over to the black arts in the search of the elusive lure to all young jedi riders -Horsepower

    post classics on an 86 gsxr750.. most excellent dude!!!
    that'd be my choice for fun if i wanted to go racing.
    they could be awesome with some money spent on suspension & performance. go hard, sounds like fun.

    Thanks Dude. Good to put a voice to the name yesterday.

    We'll catch up at the track sometime and you're more than welcome to take the ol' girl for a skid. It's a bit of humour after a late model bike, I tell ya!

    BTW WT at work Pete and I checked up on those Yoshi(?) headers on trademe against some on ebay and elsewhere on the web.

    We're almost certain that they ARE yoshi headers. 42mm pipes.

    He hasn't put them back on trademe yet but could definitely be worth a look if they do come up again.

    Also some rebuilt 36mm Mikuni Roundslides but I'm not too sure if they comply with the pre-89 regs.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Hey WT I'm wondering if wheels off another pre89 bike would be legal.
    I'm thinking that something with 17" wheels would give you bigger choice in tyres

    by the sounds of it I wouldn't be catching jack shit, lol.
    anyways, I had a 'g' and it was pretty good although it lasted 2 weeks before hand-grenading on a straight stretch of back road. not one of the 8 cages i'd just overtaken(in one hit) stopped to help, they just laughed at all the smoke & oil and smirked as they went past.
    what got me was how much better it was handling-wise than i'd imagined once it got going. it felt like it was flexing in corners & wallowed a fair bit but had HUGE potential to make half decent. dam, now i want one too, but the wife would kill me twice 8-(.

    That's probably those dodgy plastic 18" wheels they shipped with...

    BTW, here is my old one. It was previously owned by Death'N'Taxes. Last we heard, a m/cycle courier had done a lot of succesful miles on it.
