I think you will find several started theirs a day or two after Snetterton, if they're like me it doesn't mean it will be finished any earler than March but I hate last minute panics and would like to get out before the first race meeting to check the bike is back to how it was pre my Snetterton Crash

i'm only jealous kev .. i'd love to be that organised

you've inspired me tho .. the battery is out and connected up to the optimate :lol:

Identical Harris Bars to the one I snapped at Snetterton have arrived this week, so I will be able to set the bar position and lever positions to exactly as they were pre crash :)

Running out of time, but at least the Van passed its MOT today, very little done in the way of converting it into a race van
My own race bike is still waiting for me to sort out the bars and mastercylinder from my crash at Snetterton, let alone have a look over the engine :(

the fairing may be yours kev,i am looking at fitting some r125 fairings,but i will let you know more when the refurb is under way (about the 22nd march !)looking like class b this year with a view to getting a class a motor sorted mid season.

please :) :)


Might be able to help out there if I don't convert Phil the Drills old class B bike to a Class A bike, although I hear Ghost may be looking to move on a 620 engine he out bid me on

No it turned out to be a 750 Kev, Spotless clean, don't think it did much. I may just strip it down and put the 6 speed into it then its an easy job when I decide to run the 6 speed by just putting the barrels and heads off mine onto it. :)

It was quite cheap, but I didn't fancy bidding any higher as the seller wasn't certain what it was, an hour after the auction finished I passed within 5 miles of it in the works van so it was worth taking the chance with a bid.

I'm off over to Dave Wood's (DWR) on Saturday for some Dyno time on Dallas's old bike, so a bit of winter prep but not on the bike I'm racing

I was there last week, Dave's son is interested in racing a class A bike.

Steve, they have had a steady flow of DD bikes over the last few years, along with my own bike , they have had Matt Larret's, Ron Jolley's, Hugh Simpson's, Kev Palmer's, Dallas's and a few others.
Junior emailed us the other day about the Class A regs, he has even raced with us on his SV when we were with New Era and entered the Allcomers.

Still hoping to arrange a Dyno Day for the Club with them some time.
