the macintosh br1 for frosty

[speedpro]

Roger was the inspiration for getting my McIntosh chassis. An old mate Rob Henry had one rusting away in his back yard. It was built for Dale Warren but Rob ended up with it. The original Glenn Williams was the other inspiration, on the turbo Kawasakis that Peter Hill built. Luckily the frame was for a Z1 engine and I had a spare engine that came with my Yoshimura/Moriwaki Z1. Another mate got the turbo kit off a Z1R-tc. Put the lot together with the usual forged pistons, clutch bits etc and away you go.

Interestingly it isn't all that light, what with the Brembo cast iron discs and the lump of a Z1 engine. 200kilos total, 101 front, 99 rear.

How things change. Even I could go round Pukekohe faster on a stock 600 now.

[FROSTY:Me]

THE BLACK AND WHITE PICK IS WHEN IT WAS JUST BUILT, THE ONE NEXT TO MINE IS THE ONE ROGER FREETH WON BATHURST ON. THE SECOND PIC IS ME ABUSING THE COLLECTORS ITEM . I DONT THINK THAT KEN AND ROGER EVER THOUGHT THEIR BIKE WOULD BE DOING THIS, DO YOU REMEMBER THIS FROSTY

Of course being a sensible sane motorbicyclist I would never condone such hoonish activities.
LOL yep I remember only too well --sheesh I thought I'd forgotten back then
