I could have a look at Christine this weekned if you're around we can't start the season without a full compliment of twins out there now can we.

Though I'd say from the noises coming from her at the last round you'll be needing some spares, I have a hunt in my treasure trove and drag out some bits.

So you like them clips ons eh?
I saw some pics fron th RR spectaculaaarrrr and that GT looks well racy now man, good shit!

Well I finally got around to doing some work on my poor long suffering 50. It wears out rings pretty quickly as it has to rev pretty high to try & compete with bikes up to 3 times it's size. I had a funny feeling that BOB had taken it's toll (heinous over revving & I'd only taken the 50 along as a spare if the 125 died) & then I did a 2 day at Taumarunui & a meet at Slipway. Each time wondering if it would blow up, but never finding the time to rebuild it.

Result was a Ring had lost it's tip. Fortunately the bore was ok & there was just some tiny marking on the head before it got spat out. Took a nick out of the piston though. Thankfully I'd a new piston that I'd forgotten I bought. Like finding $20 behind the sofa! . . Or a hp.

Glen is honing my sleeves I believe, so, as I'm not around on Sat night, I'll pull the CB125T out of the ZXR and strip it down during the day. Maybe paint the AX too.

Shit did you....[goes back to study photos again]

And get more beer.

I'm glad I'm not the only one going blind (ok, you may have a better excuse than that Slingshot, involving beer), I thought you said no seat too, was starting to get very worried about riding it without a seat!!! Flash Skunk, very flash!!

It was easier than getting Slingshots engine and chamber done. Just took a bit of planning and thought and making sure I had all the necessary bits laying around.

Drew the disc in a couple of hours and sent a CAD file to a couple of friends (one did the grinding the other the cutting)

Swingarm only took part of a Saturday to build and a quick paint on the Sunday. Still got to do a better job of shielding the carb (no filter).
