ESE's works engine tuner

[husaberg]

Morley won the GP one year after making an ignition from a box of bits at the track on the morning of the GP. Wires were twisted together with a bit of tape. He is a super talented rider. I came 2nd behind Jimmy at Taupo one year, we lapped third place. I won the last Wigram GP in front of Ziffle, again we lapped 3rd place. My bike has come 2nd one more times than me. I'd been hauled away from Ohakune in an ambo and Jimmy had blown a crank so he jumped on mine and came 2nd behind Peter Steadman I think. The Shirriff 4T that won the GP dropped a valve the next time they started it. Pete Sales had a quick 125 4T and was coming 3rd at the GP one year with me chasing. Unfortunately for him the cam chain tensioner went "ping" about 100m from the line on the last lap. I pipped him, just.

Buckets are well fast enough now to head back to Wanganui again. I talked the Shirriffs into it one year and quite a few others. We did good and there was some very red faces when the racing ended, same thing at Nelson one year.

Found this for you Mike.

Also some old MT Wellys stuff all this was just in two Kiwi Riders.
Note the Eyles bike i posted a week back is mentioned.
I see Jasonu and Speedpro
Maybe that's what F4 and F5 need is some shameless self promotion.
Last ones are not buckets but are cool anyway..

That Wigram meeting was the first one I ever raced at, turned up for a look and Tony Mac and mark Buchart bullied me into doing a race , got lost with all their poxy cones part way through

and now for a movie traller

Isle of Nan TT: Closer to the Hedge

Yea the genius was driven by a damn fine single malt bottle - but the sentiment was born of the frustration created when you think of
the achievements of Jan Thiel,and getting paid good money to have fun whilst doing it..
Though working for Mr W was something I refused to do, having Frits to argue with on a daily basis over strong coffees I would have loved.
The thing I am really pissed about is that my 400 F3 is running, and I cant throw a leg over it.

That's some serious piece of kit, love it!!!

And with working FCR carbs, took a while but then you've got something

Odd, I always thought Ziffle came 2nd at Wigram.

Nice little riddle: this video was sent to me by a flabbergasted tuner who wonders how a running engine can blow back more air than it inhales...

[wobbly]

Quote from me , nearly right.

The nominal reflection point of a wave front exiting a tube to atmosphere is around 1/2D past the end of the exit.
But this is only the nominal average for calculation purposes.
There will be alot of "air" movement well past this reflection point, and a piece of paper, free standing, will need very little pressure over its area to be deflected.
This sonic wave front, continuously hitting the paper at the forcing frequency of the intake will easily deflect the paper, backward, away from the bellmouth.
Close - or bullshit??

[Frits Overmars]

No bullshit - but no sigar either, Wob. It is simpler than that. The inhaled air enters the duct from all sides (hence the positive effect of a bellmouth),
but the blow-back shoots back out in a single column that hits the piece of paper in the video.
(Of course no running engine can blow back more air than it inhaled ).

He might have i was in the pits for pretty much all of it trying to stop my H100 spitting out flywheels.
Turned out the rotor side main was f-ed smashed one flywheel (might have gone a bit far with the lightening on that one though)and munted two stators figuring out (one not mine) what was happening . Add in the tap on the std tank MB5 i used and had never used one before or since (even though it was drilled) was acting as a mainjet. Plus many other stuff i have spent years trying to forget. (Like the stuff i forgot to bring Whoops)
Missed John Eyles crash as well. Shame it was a pretty trick bike. Real quick for a 130 cc 2 valve.

But it was more of a 50 track as i remember it far to tight for the big blocks LOL.

Thanks to whoever it was who loaned me an ignition (never got you name or have forgot), but he sent someone back home for it. So top bloke.

i'm sure you were pited to the left on the track someone there had some nasty sounding main bearing promblems do you remember a guy having a engine change honda 125 that was me . l do remember speed pro's getting a nice wheel spin thingy at one point if he remembers . l'm sure ziffle got second and the guy we stayed with got 3th on a honda 125

[Yow Ling]

Its a bit off topic, but buckets cant exist without metal cutting, gives you a bit of an insight into what is happening at the end of the drill bit , lathe tool or milling cutter

[crazy man]

it must of been the guy that got 4th l know it was no andy's place

I hear a rumour that team ESE rider Avalon won the ladies race at the weekend?

[Buckets4Me]

Av making us all proud

I was feeling strong for the women’s race but I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. The pole position time of 1.46.0 set by a local girl is really fast and left me nervous
I wouldn’t be able to stick with her. My Honda rocketed off the line and we made a gap right from the start, which stretched every lap until 2 laps from the end when
riding a full programme of two classes all weekend finally caught up with my struggling biceps and I rode conservatively to take the win. It was a ride I can be proud
of because I put down my fastest, most consistent laps of the weekend and recovered instantly from a from a front end slide which gave everyone watching a
heart attack as I had the fairing, footpeg and engine casing all skating across the track! Mamma Mia was all they could say about that moment afterwards.I was
so happy for my team and WIL Sport Management to give them something for the work they have put into the season so far. Also, to share the moment with my dad,
all the way from NZ for this weekend, my cousins and uncle was fantastic.

Very Cool. Well done Avalon.
