Many of you (?) may be asking yourselves why I choose to race two stroke bikes when a good torquey four stroke would be more appropriate for someone of my size (and weight). Well if your bored, have a read of this guys thoughts on 2 strokes - interesting to say the least.

This blog has changed more to be about the bikes in my garage than racing, but hey, I will still be using the RD 350 YPVS and the RG500 on track!

Last modifications finished
Well, not much news really. My list of things to do is finished except putting on my numbers. I have put stops for the steering which prevent the levers touching the fairing - so it should get through scrutineering, plus the catch bottles are done - I ended up putting the radiator bottle in the fairing, and a couple of smaller bottles picking up the residue that comes out of the carbs. (hmmmmm...) All the lock wiring has been done - mental note to make a tool to avoid breaking the 1.5 mm drill bits I have been using! I have made a curved gear lever which will prevent any interference with the gear rod, and finally I changed the handlebar grips, which was a cock up, as the throttle has small plastic ridges on it to prevent the grip slipping off and the ones I bought did not fit....Anyway it got nice carbon look alike bungs in the ends of the clipons....
Just waiting for the first race which will now be at Crois-en-Ternois the weekend of the 10/11th May.
