Well the 2Ts didn't fare very well in the 2-hour race. Seems to be an opportunity to consider rule changes to even the playing field. That's how it works isn't it?

Oh wait. 2Ts already have an unfair advantage

Changed my mind on that one. Malcolm was impressed with our 2t, maybe we will just run with it anyway...

Cheers for helping out with the monetary issue after the race TZ, very sporting of you!

Rock on.

They must have learned how to blip between downchanges

Ha ha that's the one I don't no what i have been up to all them years

The only bike with a wobbly set up what can I say

This is how I cut the circlip grooves into the pistons.
The groove tool is 0.42mm wide for 0.4mm wire circlips.
I groove 0.23mm deep or 0.46mm diameter from touch. I like to tape the outer edge of piston crown just to make sure
I do not damage the seal band or top edge.
When clipping finished pistons, I make a plastic piston clamp, and put a paper washer between the piston and the fixture.
Normally I would put the circlips in before finishing the pistons, but this time did them afterwards.

Thanks for the report Rob. Great to see some of the Welly/Palmy boys doing well. How did the GPR 2T go? Kel your bike is looking very nice. You going to race in the Sandbaggers race this year?

Don't be mean! It's a new concept.

Folds easily for storage in a wheelie bin.

Regan can reply to that, apparently it went well, but they were a bit rough with the new baby.

Bad Regan. Don't start it with a pistol drill again, bad bad Regan.

How do you figure that? You need to take your axe and grind it somewhere else.

It's all good humour, as we all know, every racer does what suits their own style, and their bikes set up.

If life was all one notion, it would get boring very fast.

Lets all enjoy the sport with good humour, good comradeship, and let this moment give us all determination to keep up the spirit of buckets. Was thrilled to hear TZ's reaction to the day, the sport is a bit more then our occasional ribbing.

But it does give us the odd laugh or two.

Without question the quickest bike out there (in a straight line). Was the riders handicapping that rocket ship.

i must say , you bike dose look nice , and in green

It went very good could not have gone any better. Gary did the bluff roll of the dice and after that the pick up for the motor did shear off. Kerry has done an awesome job of the CNC barrel, really looking forward to racing it. Team GPR build 4 strokes and 2 strokes

... increased the air correction jet diameter and up the main worked a treat providing a small increase in power everywhere.

Attachment 317487

Red line best power with the original main and 1.25 air correction jet. Blue line, 1.45 air correction plus bigger main jet.

Great to have such a clear result of what can be achieved by adjusting the air correction jet to bend the fueling curve.

I am not Rob (TZ350)but Robinson covered it.
Remember carbs have over lapping circuits the air jet is used to compensate for the rate at which the fuelling of the main circuit is controlled by an increase in high speed airflow.

The GPR 2T looks good and went very well but the ignition trigger rotor broke loose.



Apparently it came away after the bike had been started several times using a battery drill to spin it over by the crank nut.

Not a biggie, with any new build there are always little issues that need to be resolved.

There's always teething problems, everyone's been there before!

The peak of bucket chassis development is certainly the GPR chassis at the moment. Very nice units.
That 2T motor looks very "competitive" with it's little built-in water pump housing.
