Hello there chaps, Just thought i would introduce myself. I have always liked bikes and two strokes are my favourite. For the last twenty years i have always kept an lc under my bed or part built where ever i have lived, last year i decide to get another engine for it and put on the road (the last one self destructed 20 years ago!). Well i ended up getting an engine with a spare bike. The spare bike is the red and white one, the owner told me it was a copy of a german racer. Well i have been using that bike most of the year and absolutely love chasing modern bikes on it. I still have to put the engine in the yellow bike and might keep it as a track bike or race it in the local tt for fun (never raced a bike)

Thanks guys. There not up to the usual high standard of most members but i just love riding it, and can't wait to put the engine in the yellow one. Its a hybrid of an lc and ypvs engine parts.

I forgot to post a picture of the engine, for the yellow bike. This engine was made from 350 lc and ypvs parts. It was made about 20 years ago after the original engine decided to self destruct. I worked with a side car racer who used to campaign in the Dutch and European 500 cc championships, his name was Hans Blaauw. He told me never mind and can i have a look at it. The next time is saw it it was fully rebuilt. I never got around to fitting it and didn't trust it after such a long period. In the end i sent it to England to have it stripped and inspected. The words from the tuner was "very interesting" it has different liners with no working power valves, only one ring per piston and he calculated 392 cc. Basically he told me it was a big bore LC engine and the only way to see how it works was to run it. The only thing he modded was the head with O rings.
