.... yeah not so much.
Short story; lost a valve or the cam chain snapped on the main straight just before the kink during second practice. It's not fixable nor am I going to put a new motor in it.
Anybody got a race bike they need a rider for??

Why isn't it fixable?

That's the second time it's eaten itself. The first time was when the previous owner had it. This time, judging by the horrible tinkling noises it was making it would need to be completely pulled down and rebuilt. New rings, piston(s??), valves, gudgeon pins, most likely bearings etc. Judging by the amount of oil in the belly pan something holed a case (haven't actually looked as I'm in the process of getting hammered while sulking). There wasn't any oil spilt at Paeroa but there was a lot of coolant coming from somewhere (so maybe there isn't a hole in a case but oil getting into the cooling system then out through there).
Anyway, the fix is more expensive than getting a new bike. The Trumpy was never going to do better than midfield cos it was just too heavy and difficult to get decent power out of. It was a great fun first race bike. I learnt heaps and enjoyed it a hell of a lot, but I won't be going there again. The disadvantages of the TT600 are difficult and expensive to overcome, especially when there's much cheaper alternatives.
