Its still thick enough, maybe another skim down to try get it straight..

Got other things to work on first..

She'll be right

Am a bit unhappy about that. I put a dial indicator on it in the front wheel and it was only running out 0.04mm (1 1/2 thou") so I thought that pretty good considering it was bent about 1.5mm after the crash at Hampers. I think you'll find that becauase I've ground the high spots off each side that means its an uneven wall thickness between the outside and the ventalation slots now..thats why it has probably warped again. Sorry Kai but you may need to ditch it for a new one or at least one that hasn't been bent.

bummer, sorry! yea its a visible runout now, don't even need to put a dial on it. probably back to a 1mm or so.

I wonder what the disc is..

mission for after the suspension.

I think you should fucking smash him, once he gets a few beatings he'll get the idea and stop wrecking stuff

Yea, should have asked him at the NZGP.. dunno if I'll get a chance to chat to him again.. I doubt he's on facebook

Maybe he will put a return address on the stuff Agip Bike stuff he said he would try to send me.. Hope he does, looking forward to any old stuff from the bikes glory days.

Cool - gave him a list of my calipers and master cylinders for a full over haul/re-kit. He said "You couldn't have given me a list of worse stuff"

That stationary steam engine would power the agip bike quite nicely too..

Quick update, Jay qualified my pre '82 GSX 1166 in 3rd spot out of 111 entries. Unfortunately it must have had a slight carb blockage on one cyl, as it ran lean & melted a hole in a piston, so not a major drama really.
He is now on Pete Smiths pre 89 GSXR1100 & also qualified that in 3rd behind two RC 30's on his first attempt on the bike.
I suspect the end result today will be Chur as!!!
