Yep we are hoping to bring it up to Auck this weekend, Just got to finish a few things off.

Typical, it's forecast rain here all week, But if it settles a bit Weds or Thurs I'm going to get the keys for the track and do a few test laps, just to make sure I've got no major bugs before I haul it all the way to Auck.

See ya's on Saturday anyways. Hope you fellas up there have organised a dry weekend for us !!

Dry days are extra $$$ now
Mr Clark spent all the money and needs some more
before he looks like a right dick for the elections

Had my first blat up the road on the Delta this afternoon, Great to ride, weight, balance feels good, Suspension a feels good.

It feels a bit underpowered, but may be just due to gearing as it takes a while to wind up. Can anyone give me the standard sprocket sizes so I can check the gearing. Currently running 14F / 51R

Cheers

I always found my bike boring to ride up the road as they just went threw the gears and got to top speed to quick

geared for about 100k at Mt Wellington
and around 125-130k for taupo last year
see how the new engine goes this time

Ok, I think we have the Delta, running well enough for some track testing. There are still a few details to work on.

I'm taking the bike to the Taumarunui track tomorrow evening for a few test laps. To check out my gearing, steering and suspension, and to see how the motor runs.

Then we're off to Auckland for the monthly meeting, this weekend.

For future development
I have to find my own motor. (This one's bororwed)
Need to make a tail section.
Some Cam and porting work
Carb mods
set of wheels for wets. (Have a rear wheel, need front)
Ignition system upgrade
Paintwork

Had an awesome weekends racing in Auckland. Apart from half a dozen laps in the rain at Taumarunui on Thursday night. It was the first outing on the Delta.

I am stoked with it. We weighed it in at 114 Kg which was a little heavier than I'd anticipated, but when it came down to track time I don't think it mattered that much. The bike handles like a dream, I was surprised at how quick and smooth it turned, with no hint at all of letting go.

The only issue I have to sort is some back end chatter at the bottom of the fast straight under hard braking, and I must admit to that being a bit unsettling especially when pushing it with the 'A' grade boys.

Had a 1st and a second ing the 'B' grade prelims, before being ummm.... 'promoted' into the 'A' grade where I had a couple of great races in the midfield.

A great weekend for everyone at the Auckland meeting...

Looking forward to the Taumarunui meet in two weeks.... Yeeeeha
