    Well done Nigel, the sliversausage looks really good out there. Can't wait to see you give it some stick after it's run in :P

    I've ridden it, um, it's run in

    Well done Kendog, the bike looks and goes really good, well I assume it goes good with petrol in it

    I must say I wasn't that keen to ride it as I had just rattled my cage big time and only really felt like a lie down and a cup of tea and I wanted my mummy

    I was quite impressed with the handling 'out of the box' and I could tell there's potential for some good development there. Don't worry too much about my previous insistence on 17" wheels, make the thing misbehave before you change anything (just like marriage, eh)

    But you were rather insistent on me riding the Sliverdog, I'm coming to see know that you may have been punishing me in my battered state by sending my out broken on a bike with no petrol

    I've got my eye on you!


    Again well done Nigel and Andrew, the birth of a new bucket is always something to behold, so who cut the cord?

    Nice Job

    Nice job, exhaust mounting looks great.

    I run a FXR based Loncin in Auckland, I have a few 'B' grade wins on it. they have potential. Remember to change the oil regularly and it'll take a good trashing. Mine hasn't given me any trouble.

    Tip - before trying to get more HP which you will definately want to do, get your streering, suspension and tyre setup right first. 17 inch wheels and some slicks would definately be the way to go.

    No pics from the rear. Good thing 'cause it looks unfinished, rather unfairly as I know it is.

    You need to find a race seat, this will give you number boards & more importantly a lower seat that will vastly improve your feel on the bike. Tall seats make them feel dreadful & squidgy.

    Ideally you want to get as low as poss.

    Being familiar with the RG chassis I will also note the original footpegs are too far forward when you put low bars (ie they seem to be sit up & beg riding pos std), you can extend them back with a simple plate & hack off the pillion parts. If you want spare RG ones I have some I was thinking of chucking on TM.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Yep, the rear end is rather bare. Looking into something as we speak which should also replace and drop the seat height down.

    Once the new seat position is sorted I will look into proper peg placement and removing the pillion extension.

    If I destroy these pegs during the modification process I will be in touch, but should be ok. Cheers.

    2nd round done and we came out with no serious issues again

    This time I was feeling much better on the bike. I didn't think about the tyre sizes and concentrated on turning my head and riding round the corner. What a difference, last month I was being lapped by everyone in B grade, this month I was actually passing some people.
    I am really enjoying the 4 stroke power out of corners, I just need to bring my corner speed up (focus for the next round). My starts were going well, both races I was in second place round the first corner.

    I have a new tail and seat to go on before the next round, this should hopefully help the riding position. It will also result in a slightly different look and a new name....... 'watch this space'

    Thanks for letting me ride it, was cool and felt really good. Love the way it feels going into corners and it pulled away nicely out of the corners.

    You've got an excellent machine there! Nice one.

    You did awesome honey, was great to see you enjoying the bucket racing this time and the bike really is a joy to ride, you've done good! Thanks for pushing Pammy back to the pits for me (with the company of our lovely Hels) and letting me ride your bike back for you... gotta do something about those vibes though eh, either that or fit a strap-on, I'm sure Hels will give you some tips about how this is done.
