Axe Murderer class anyone?
 

This baby is eligible!

Graham, can I race yours?!!!

:D

join the queue tony,Chris has first shout and will be doing some SOt at the same meets as the DD.
Power seems a bit down on the ebay bike,should only be a matter of a pc111 tho'
Butch

:o

I was kidding! I couldn't afford to replace it should I throw it in a skip!

Tempting though!

Sadly they only seem to let the 748/9 race with the axe murders at national level which includes MRO, otherwise its SoT, Open, Powerbike etc.

Oh right, I thought Bemsee allowed it, in the Nationwide I mean?

I'm sure I've seen pics of one running in 600 supersports in a nationwide meeting?

It's a shame they'll let any 4-valve twin up to 750cc in the Thunderbike class EXCEPT the 748/9's .... grrrr

That's discrimination that is, where's the number for my local MP ...

£22000 for the power of a std 998s...............:o:lol::lol:

Andy,a £1.99 bottle of wine will get you drunk,but thats not what lifes about is it!:frog:

Ive heard lambrini is quite good............:lol:

Mind you, having a Rolls Royce doesnt make you a millionaire either..........:o

I stand corrected as of a couple of days before TP started this post North Glos are allowing upto 750cc to race in the 600 Open class.

That's because they don't want to allow anything that will thrash their beloved Buells-which a 748/9 most certainly would................:mad:

Grrrr ... I have an idea for a SoT bike that wold kick the arse of a few bikes out there now ... I just need someone to help me with the cash side of things ... oh well ... maybe a TZ :D

"maybe a TZ"-maybe a TZ what??-you would never FIT on a TZ mate-on the other hand perhaps you would, there is a guy who races MRO who weighs about 19stone and races a TZ, it looks like a minimoto but he still races, and he's quick..............:o

Whats in your mind Tony??

John

Ahh, that fateful question dreaded by every Aussie :P

Ha ... beer!

I'm not really considering racing a TZ to be honest. There is a bike I'd love to build and race and there is a couple of series for it. So it's spec would ultimately be dependant on the rules fo the series that is chosen but it would be pretty good I reckon. Just not cheap :(

Oh well ...

When you say not cheap, what kind of money are we talking about? 8 grand for the bike (new), another 5 to sort it?

Yes

Or, between £2k-£5k for a used bike depending on condition and maybe £5k-£7k to sort that.

Ah, got it. If my thinking is correct, you may find that "sorting it" doesn't cost quite as much as you think, especially if you "sort it as you get faster". A lot of "sorting" being done on race bikes is left over thinking from blinging up bikes for trackdays.

Oh no, not me sir! Never!:rodent:

TP, just do it!

All good points.

Unfortunately it's a moot point because I don't have the cash to even buy the bike!
