She looks lovely, Ali. Possibly a bit too smart for you, but hey ho, that won't last :P:D

So with only one round left this year I'm assuming you'll be racing next year too - you surely wouldn't have bought her just for the one race?


PS Can I have a go on her? Are you at Brands for TA5?
Love

Going to try and locate a decent engine and do a complete strip and rebuild. Frame could do with a lick of paint and I'd like to get an alloy swinger on her. She's never going to be the prettiest of bikes, but it'd be a sin to just throw another engine in without doing the basics.

Got a few ideas as to what she'll be doing next year, but nothing confirmed yet.

Cheers! Vote of confidence in my skills as a mechanic and a rider... :(

This round will have to be setup for next year, and a bit of fun too.

Of course, but I'm not at TA5. Welcome to borrow her, as long as she comes back in decent shape....

I've collected my 'spare' engine now - but not had time to look inside it - externally its like many - rough - but the bloke (another racer) said he had it running before he broke the bike to sell the parts.
I want the hydraulic clutch and ignition pickups - which is essentially the 2 side cases worth - for my tt2 pantah, and then its 'just' a spare standard crankcase and cylinders ... can you see where my thoughts are going ?

It all depends on how 'decent' an engine you want - as for a small fee, I can pop the heads and check the rings and barrels, clean the combustion chambers, match the manifolds to the heads, shim it, and replace the belts.
Or something.
