heres where all my time and plenty of dosh has been employed the last couple of years...   it started out like this...   i havent actually got to use this bike yet this year as the andalucian championship is in tatters and cancelled the races except jerez in 4 weeks time (11th nov) allthough there going to do three races in the one weekend..should be fun.. last year was my first year and the bike was very much done on a shoe string budget due to me being made redundent...this racing malarky is bludy expensive... this was me last year... in guadix..   i got a third in only my second race..but there was only 6 in my class so i was pleased but wanted more competition.. then jerez..fast track..  plenty more riders..13 in my class..  stonking great wheelie off the line..im allways quick off the start..   and 3rd at jerez..it was great as i had to fight for it...  i was gagging to get into it again this year but it been a non starter..let hope jerez goes ahead ok. ps. im the only one on a two stroke....  |

a few fotos of the build for you chaps...   sun baked paint..gets mega hot down here in summer..  nice new crank with tz big ends and 4L0 con rods. done in the uk by bryan h, who works through ajs vapourblasting in hull. theyve both been very good to me doing work for free and donating me stuff so i can kick some spanish ass..lol.. top blokes.    for all there good deeds i done them a top plug... not many uk businesses that have publicity on the jerez podium..lol.  when i go race at jerez again in two weeks i´ll sticker up the bike with aj´s again and my own new business venture. still havent bludy run it in yet.. |
