Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

yeah i used to get most of my stuff off steve, much cheaper than padgetts, mine was a bit of a shed, ex tt bike, 87 bottom end, 93 top making over 40bhp, a pig to start but itd keep up with anything pre airbox, even had my brother off on his 250 around the 3 sisters :)
i was racing in 2000, smashed my knee up at aintree quite badly, that put me out til said road accident that ended any chance of getting back into it, shit happens
dont miss avgas tho, it used to coughback and by the time id finally got the thing started id be throwing up off the avgas fumes

Knees do take a beating don't they? Hurt mine highsiding on the penultimate lap of a superclub race at brands. Bike ran pretty sweet in the end, mix of 91/94 bits with a good Wrathall barrel. Always used to run it conservatively rich so lost out on top end. The 95 and up bikes were a lot quicker but you could mix it up with them around the smaller tracks. They often used to stick us out with the SS400 bikes and it was always fun scything through the backmarkers of their race.
