I got the WarPig!!
- Oil spews out of most orifices
- the fork seals are blown, so there's no oil in there
- it has 90,000 on the clock, but its done three years of road riding with the speedo disconected, and gawd knows how many with it off for racing
- the whole headlight is held on with cableties and one aliminuim hand bent plate, and the clocks broke off their triple clamp mount, so they are taped on top of the headlight (it lost all the stock fairings LOOONG ago, headlight aftermarket too)
- wiring goes funny and you have to shake the main loom to make the starter button connect when you want to run it
- the only original bodywork (tail piece) is secured to the bike with duct tape and cable ties...its also help to its-self with duct tape
- there is a stick from the side of the road between the gas tank and frame to stop it rubbing thru
- the throttle sticks at the grip and I just cannot find why, so it has 'cruize control'
- has MotoGP style pipe (ie, headers, into collector box, then stock system goes back into two pipe, one of these has home-made plug (sparkplug with bondi around it, stuffed into pipe) the other has a 10in. chrome missalaneous part 'silencer' stuffed down the end of it, that the baffles blew out of straight away (cost me $10 that did...) exiting JUST below right hand footpeg)
Bonuses -
- I don't have to polish it or my boots, or oil the chain - the oil spewing out of it does that for me
- thats all I can think of right now....
Recent bike carreer highlights:
263.4kmh flying 400m at carterton sprints
10.02s (so close to 9!!) standing quater at carterton sprints
3rd overall (1s behind GSXR1000 riding winner) at Gladstone Hillclimb
all these were done with it just as you read above.....![]()
I love my 'Pig - oh, its a '89 GSXR1100K.

It was an old Ural with a 1200cc 40hp VW motor in it,and a Jupiter chair on the left.Some sort of Yamaha tank and seat.The frame was extended 6in to fit the motor,so the dog bones bring the bar back within reach.You can just make out the VW oil coolers which stuck up at an angle at the front.As hard case and rat as you can get,and a shit load of fun to ride.

In reverse order - No,I didn't build it,my modis operandi is to pick up other peoples unfinished projects,always a good idea going to waste.A maintinence engineer at the freezing works built it,then had to get rid of it in a hurry....so,there I was.Then another KB member Lee Rusty and I did a deal on it,I don't really know what he did with it,but apparently it ended up abandoned on a farm in Waiuku.I did meet another guy who owned it,he was a scary over the top nut case,so it was always in good hands.
