Yep just need them to start filtering through turners damaged vehicles like all them FXRs and we are in business. Won't take long unfortunately for some of those learner riders out there. Anyway back to the shed need to wire up sump plugs etc.

Nah come on its a beginners commuter, shockingly long stroke , single cam, small valve, Hondas poor cousin of a commuter. That said we'll be in India in May so if you want to place orders ...

What corners did you cut?

Well this is the next step that has been sitting in the shed waiting for the boys to figure out what we are going to do with it. Not sure if there will be some rule changes but it could be a weapon.Bought as rolling chasis and the engine came later all 2006 model. Has a good base to start from and make something pretty good.

have to give that one to Richban

as Speedpro was to scared to run slicks in the rain

but from what i heard Speedpro and Richban where pretty eaven in a strait line

Mine went pretty good on Monday in the dry though I still don't know my way round that track but did get better in the 2nd practice. Rich's bike is a rocket. His new carb woke it up big time evidently and it was flying. I'm dreading him getting the "fast" motor sorted. Tuesday was wet. I did go out in the practice but some goober left a trail of oil for the full circuit and took a different line avoiding the first and subsequent trails each lap. By the 4th there wasn't much track left without pretty rainbow colours in the water. On slicks I wasn't taking many risks and then sat out the rest of the day as it was a pointless exercise for me in the wet. Rich was again flying but had his hands full with another Kelford cams FXR and a couple of other bikes all on wets.

Short version - I sat it out, DNS, and Rich came 3rd or 4th I think.

Yep, have to give that one to Rich, there was some pretty determined riding from Andrew A, Gavin, Richban, Nathanial and Rick. Once again, FXR's on the podium chased home by 2-Smokers.

Without wets, Speedpro and I sensibly stayed out of the rain, thats my story and I am sticking to it...........
