    i might add that the quality control isn't too great
    • all bolts including the ones holding the motor together have to be tightened
    • there is huge variability in performance between motors - dushy's is shit, mine is lame, and the parts bike is an absolute rocket (again the work of a certain shed)

    • looks better
    • protects the motor etc
    • rags in the fairing will stop us ruining the go-kart track, if a leak is sprung
    • looks better

    Admit it - you already had a go at ruining it yesterday while we were at the track.

    i wouldn't say it's worth it as there isn't any KB rides for these things

    and for the sake of competition, it would be cool if we all had the same machine

    plus you can't use our spares if you have an italian

    that was YOUR bike, to which YOU had not secured the fuel line to the carburetor

    and that was before my shed - now they all have big bloody clamps on them

    Hey I'd bloody done it, then someone decided to cut moar fuel line off so it was too short! :P

    Still, at least we've got enough fuel line for Africa now. Just gotta keep the mix we put into the tanks clean until we can get some filters.

    Might have spot or two where we could have some fun in Albany. Has anyone thought of the RC track at North Harbour Stadium? (I know of somewhere else, just have to ask.)

    if not i'll just make a filter that we put in the lid of the tank - easier to fit, easier to fix
