BikerBoyZ Posted Friday, January 31, 2003 by Mr.7/11
I read an article on dragbike.com about a new movie called BikerBoyZ which as far as I can tell is the two-wheeled version of The fast and the furious and is expected to create the same effect.
Well we all know streetracing is as old as bikes are made so there's nothing new really... the more challengers the merrier! Better start working on that extended swingarm for my Nitrous Kat and kick some 'Busa-ass this summer ;-)

Scoop! Posted Thursday, January 30, 2003 by Mr.7/11
Inside-man "Perversed Polisher" is risking life and limb (well at least his fingertips ;-) to give us the scoop on SF Will's project.
He's stashed some pictures and even a movie here.

Behind the scenes at Will's project Posted Friday, January 24, 2003 by Mr.7/11
We traced down this terrible picture of Will's 7/11 at the polisher's...



You can see the new RS125 seat unit along with the new subframe which contains a not too subtle battery box (which at least keeps mud from the back wheel out of the air filters). The frame and swinger are polished and there's also a trick see-trough clutch cover.

Ronnie Smith (Performance Bikes Magazine) killed in accident :-( Posted Tuesday, January 14, 2003 by Mr.7/11
Ronnie Smith, road-tester extraordinaire, has died.
Another mega-talent of the Performance Bikes team who will be dearly missed by all of us, just like John Robinson who died the previous year :-(

The Dodge Tomahawk 500-HP Concept Motorcycle Posted Monday, January 13, 2003 by Bral
500 hp impossible for a bike ?
No sir, Dodge "invented" a concept with a Viper engine which should do it.

New BigCC Racing website Posted Saturday, January 11, 2003 by Mr.7/11
The famous UK tuning firm (famous for their very fast Katana's) BigCC Racing have finally built a proper website. Go visit!

D.I.Y. air/fuel mixture gauge Posted Thursday, January 9, 2003 by Mr.7/11
We're really into electronics these cold days because it's about the only thing you can do inside. Bral unearthed a very good article about building your own air/fuel ratio meter so you will never need a visit to the dyno ever again!

A personal advice: Skip the IC-sockets because vibration will cause the IC and bar-LED to work loose and the circuit to fail. Saves a few cents too!
