Race two. Greymouth, Scott's bike leading the way, almost all the way...

100 pages in two and bit years.
Make time for a review?

2010-2012
Shit too long ago, will have to look back..
Dyno built.
And we saw the two GPRs on track and VFR400 & IMD250 started.
Regan came 5th at the GP, I limped around...

2013
Regan won North Islands (massive battle with Rick)
Scotty came third
Regan third in NZGP
Scotty burgled formula Tokoroa.
First trip down to BOB to show off the GPRs to the southern boys (home with tails between legs).
Scotty achieved a solid 23hp out of the FXR
Four more engine built to match and the customer orders started
Roll out of the yellow GPRs.

2014
The super trailer built.
One bike stolen...
Regan third in NZGP again and won North Islands.
Scotty third in North Islands.
I finished the GP..

first time in over a decade.
Scotty finished 3rd in BOB and second in Greymouth.
Kerry finished 5th in Greymouth.

Newly built FXR now pulls a solid 2# lots...

Quite a lot of reward for the effort put in primarily by Scott.
During this time, none of the GPR150s have destroyed themselves.

And it's been a bloody hoot, roll on summer and the North Islands.

This is the only race and the only place I took pics of the buckets so they're all similar. Plenty of pics of other classes at other spots around the track.

Quite cool that they sand blast all the road markings (white and yellow lines) pre-event to ensure some grip in case of rain.

It took a couple of laps to get happy with, but was grippier then I expected. Watch those canaries fly!

Would have been quite cool to hear the commentary...
Current Superbike champ, up and coming young start (racing overseas), plenty of experienced riders...... Who's this fat canary leading.....

Indeed something to be proud of

thanks rick , for the first time i was not lossing much or anything in a straight line to the lighter riders , was all about getting around the track fast . think the fxr tuning has hit its peck apart from a leaning of promblem on big tracks ( maybe a fuel pump with the type carb i'm running will work ? ) see you at the north island racing

mikuni does a fuel pump that works off intake vacuum, That works with gravity feed float carbs.
