Oh chris, give me a call on 021 2945205 to sort out picking the trailer up tomorrow if all is go.

I'm definitely keen, will be good to catch up again. No PCIII yet here either so will be fun trying to control the launch with the 1st gear flat spot on a sick second hand rear tyre.

Just a thought Chris, can you run a slick at the drag wars meets? I think that the bike must be road legal to run....? No competition Bikes etc.

THAT WILL TEACH YA YOU LOOKING IN THE WRONG SHED I ALWAYS STOCK THEM.

0800 DRAGRACING is the number to call whenever you want to check if racing is going ahead or been cancelled for ANY of Fram's racedays.

Had a barrel of fun on Sunday.

Mike (Muggins) is the Man!! 10.4something on a slippery track riding the Bus and not far behind that time on the Gixer.
In the DYO he came first and 4th or 5th not quite sure yet as the end of the day was a bit rushed with having a couple of showers, Mike looked funny as fuck jumping from bike to bike, at one stage I thought he would be facing himself in the finals….

Got a 11.00 with .500odd reaction time myself, could not get into the 10s,
I got better reaction times during the meet (As I sobered up from my 3 am session)
But the track got slipperier during the day.
I struggled at the start to get traction (not doing burnouts on my $380.00 Road tyre and it is 250km home) but once it did find some traction things started screaming and if I wasn’t spinning in 3rd over the finish line I was doing about 215ks without hitting the rev limiter.
But I got 3 more gears to use so am now looking for a spear rear wheel for the R1 so I can put a big arsed sprocket on and a trye I can destroy each meet.

Let me know if there is one about, I looked on Trade Me but nothing there just now.

I always look in my camera first, but since I did not take it on Sunday,

Visit here http://www.dragpixs.co.nz/index.shtml

Just email the dude with your details i.e. race number.

I might buy one photo off him at

A4 210mmX 297mm Cost $ 20.00 Delivery $ 9.00

Would rather give the Guy $50.00 for them all in digital format and do what I like with them, I believe he would sell shitloads more if he did that and no postage costs.
