Sure wish that video had audio!

G'day RR.
Saw that race a while back but still had to watch again. You like putting the swinger in the gravel!
What size cons are you using?
Cheers

Made my day
Top video of you going round the track. Enjoyed watching that thanks.
Would be nice to see a walk around video of it with the new exhausts on at tick over if it will do that.

Yes they are

will try and arrange some footage at Pukekohe, I'm usually otherwise distracted.
Mark my crewmate does sterling work, his leathers certainly take a beating.

G'day Richard.
Yes, and bad ones are just called ballast LOL.

numbers were down due to a semi clash with the Burt Munro meeting and the pukekohe track doesnt favour a 650, being very fast but we managed to finish a second down on to a small wheeler R90in race 2 (pictured), then broke the motor in race day 2 last lap, back straight. Autopsy to follow, but had managed to run the oil tank dry on the friday due to a rubbing oil line, so potentially doomed the motor before hand. Not a disaster, have spares and the hole in the engine isnt that big...

RR haha the hole in the engine isn't that big ---- I would be screaming and crying at the same time if that is possible- never tried it-yet

G'day RR.
Looks like a great day. I really do miss it, maybe one day, but not much pre 63 over here now.
I see a pic of a bike I've been watching the development of for a few years. It's got more titanium than the space shuttle and almost as quick!
Cheers

still trying to find pics of the action, and havent had a chance to touch motor as have a several thousand km ride on my ZB33 coming up very soon and top ends still off.
Will try and get a better copy of this photo.
technically we had two pre 63 outfits entered, mine and an 800cc matchless that is a full replica, no original parts. There is also a 820cc 6 T based machine with disc brakes running in pre 76. all the rest were small wheelers with more modern engines.
Am fairly torn between rebuilding as a good honest a10 or sinking money into trying to keep up as a bored and stroked special. Problem is the A10 is the oldest bike out there but is very popular and on tighter circuits still competitive as a 650. something to ponder.

driveside.

also my crewman Mark in repose on the friday practice

I will pull the top off as soon as time permits to assess damage and rebuild effort. Not bad for 10 years of abuse and some significant contributing issues over the weekend all the fault of the owner.

someone peeping at the hole, that picture looks rude
