Gp 2014

Cheers mate.

Positive the only reason I got you in F5 was that I was on a bike that I knew and was set up for me so I didn't have to battle with ergos on a small bike, diesel 100 is super easy to ride and really quite relaxing, less gear changes per lap than on the 150.
Also suspect that the only reason I Beat you in F4 is that I started the race less tired than you were, by the end I was making all sorts of stupid errors through sheer exhaustion, think I started fading about five laps after you which was enough to give me a buffer.

14 and change I believe

It was a borrowed bike, I had a great time and now will have to build an F5 for myself.

Was certainly not short on poke and you found a heap of pace by race end, when we caught you with a couple of laps Togo I couldn't find a way past.

Poor young Koba got worn out Eh ! . We have already got our sidecars pretty much ready for the next GP. Have managed to fit abit wider tyre on front of mine, but more importantly its not 20 years old, its a nice sticky one, also done some work on brakes so disc bolts are not rubbing on forks like they were. Richard has fitted a new master cylinder to front so he has brakes, & is also putting some more plates around front end to stop the twisting & wobbling that was going on. On Johns Scooter we have fitted another sidecar tyre as the one on it ran out of rubber & punctured in endurance race.

Hey Chris, sounds excellent, I don't even know where that tire came from, it was an odd ball size and yep it must have been decades old. That rig was built very similar to the one I built that Rick and Henk now run and that was built similar to my blue rig so all things being equal with your new sticky front end we should all be running pretty much the same times... Should make for some great racing! Picked up the blue rig tonight from Des, will seriously look at adding bracing to the front after seeing Carls mishap and watching Rick weld up a couple of down tubes at Tokaroa.
I still have my new build underway, it's Rv90 short rig and leading link, powered by a GL145, it's only being built to sell so if any one is interested let me know, I'll try and post some pics showing progress as it happens, so there is one more for the next GP.

Come on in Danger Dave, Gazza building a bike just for you. I will talk to him in Aussie next week, & give him your contact details Brenton

I'm not as young as I look but yes, I did get worn out.

Was pretty scary going into F4 40 lapper when I was already struggling to hold my arms up!
Still, glad to have done the full set, hugely satisfying.

Thanks heaps to all the people that made this happen, Chrish, Brenton and others. It's getting momentum now, keep pushing!

So who else had their bike go naff & pushed it in a corner without looking at it yet?

But I have been working on the 50.

Mines in pieces after the last club round. (Planned)

[F5 Dave]

Fitting the 118 barrel huh?

What about your 50

You can add me to that list. I knew something wasn't right during the race and sure enough there was a nasty surprise when I unloaded from the van. Will post some pics in a couple of weeks.

[Pumba]

Haven't even looked at the bike. Shit took a good week to get everything off the trailer. Sidecar has had the engine removed and has been sent off to a mate to straighten out an weld up.

[Henk]

Unlike you slackers, I went into the shed for about 15 minutes last week and bolted the exhaust back on, I even lock wired the cap screws that hold the sucker in, topped up the oil in the 100 as well.
