Thanks. Took me two years from starting the frame, to getting it registered. Not had a problem with understeer since getting rid of the bike front tyre. As for the Bulldog Bash, I'm not really into shows and the like so have never been. I made it to haul stuff around and as a desigh/build project not as a show vehicle.

Bulldog bash isn't that kind of show, it's more of a get together than a display. It'll be august next year, maybe we can get a Mighty5s crew together for next year...
...if mine ever lives again!

Just a trusty old VFR. Still scares me to death at how fast it can go for a 'mediocre' bike!  |

Do like a vfr and I wouldn't class it as mediocre... but then again I'd class very few bikes as that.

Me neither, so probably wrong terminology. Compared to more modern bikes though it's slow, but the build quality and engineering are second to none. I have my eye on getting something a bit different such as an old Honda XL185 with twin shocks to potter down lanes. However, I think I need to build a new extension to the house first or find an old aircraft hanger to keep all this in!

My turbo build is getting there, got a report yesterday saying the new fuel pressure regulator is fitted, so now just an oil return issue and then its on the dyno.
Fingers crossed it goes smooth (and not detonates!)

Fingers crossed it goes smooth (and not detonates!) I'm actually excited about this. Bet you can't wait. Many crossed fingers for the build. |

I'm hugely excited, I could have boost this year!
I'm not looking forward to paying for it though, lucky the presents are bought already or my little girl would be getting a lump of coal and a satsuma in her stocking...
'Daddy, I thought I'd been good this year!' 'You have, but daddy needs boost...'
