Khaled's 1428cc EFE Posted Thursday, June 27, 2002 by Mr.7/11
Khaled has sent us pictures of his 1428cc EFE which happens to be for sale.
Personally I would put the EFE engine in one of the Katana's!
btw. I'm posting this for Bral because he's busy moving into his new house (so now you know why his EFE has to go).

You probably didn't realise this... Posted Wednesday, June 26, 2002 by Mr.7/11
...but you've just died and gone to heaven!
At least that's what it says in the latest Streetfighters Magazine...

Well it could be if your name is Will Jobbins, editor of SF magazine, and are looking for info on modifying your GSX-R750G, also featured in that same issue. He's been mailing me with loads of questions and also been spotted on the message board... we're very curious what he'll make of it. We can tell you he has fitted a GSX-R750M fork, Bandit wheel, Harrison Billet 6-pot calipers (who said budget project?) and 750J rear wheel so far.
Hopefully he'll do a better job than they did with their latest project bike which they will be giving away now...

btw. I'm glad they spelled our adress right because they managed to misprint their own website's URL... its www.streetfightersmag.com not www.streetfightersmag.co.uk!

While flipping along the rest of the magazine I came across a picture of Dodge's (famous of his arse-up gixxers and high-speed wheelies)latest bike, based on a 'Busa, and I want to make it official... 'Busa's with their clothes off are just plain ugly. I've come across loads of nude 'Busa's lately, but even the guys from Spondon can't make it look good. So be wise and keep the fairing on, I still think the original gold/silver 'Busa looks best.

Turbo Katana Posted Tuesday, June 25, 2002 by Mr.7/11
Isac mailed me more detailed specifications of his Saab 9000 turbo-ed Kat.

Raining Kats and dogs! Posted Friday, June 21, 2002 by Mr.7/11
I don't know where they all come from all of a sudden but I keep receiving pictures and specs of Katana's. Go check 'em out!
There's even a pizza-delivery Kat!

Moto-AcXion was GREAT! Posted Friday, June 14, 2002 by Mr.7/11
AC Farias and Jean-Piere Goy sure made Dave Coates look pale!... AC Farias is the master of balance and Jean-Pierre scores even higher because of great entertainment-value. I didn't catch much of the streetfightershow, just dropped my bike in there and watched the show... thanks to KicXstart for such a great event!!!
I didn't take any pictures but maybe one of our visitors had and can send 'em in?

And now for some REAL HORSEPOWER! Posted Friday, June 14, 2002 by Mr.7/11
Gertjan Geurts has written a short story about his famous (in Holland anyway) EFE.
What a nice coincidence we've got the perfect basis for a Gertjan-replica (the bike, not the man! ;-) for sale.

Ride-to-work-day in Holland Posted Monday, June 10, 2002 by Mr.7/11
Friday it's the national Ride-to-work-day.
The perfect excuse to leave the company car at home so your wife can go shopping and spend all of your money while you get hosed on your bike ;-)

KicXstart Streetfightershow next Sunday! Posted Monday, June 10, 2002 by Mr.7/11
Be sure not to miss it!
Mr.7/11 will be there ofcourse to show off last winter's handywork.
It's promising to be quite a spectacle with A.C. Farias amongst the entertainers!

Looking back... Posted Thursday, June 6, 2002 by Mr.7/11
oldskoolsuzuki.info was launched at the KicXstart StreetFightershow on June 6th, 1999. The website was the result of the friendship between the webmasters of Robby Nitroz' StreetFighterpage and the Suzuki SevenEleven Boulevard, which both existed quite a few years by then and had a decent fanbase. After Robby destroyed Mr.7/11's bike during a wheelie and his reputation of wheelieking had been dented severely he gradually moved from the stage. He doesn't even own a proper bike at the moment! For a long time Mr.7/11 was on his own, but when Bral bought an EFE he closed down his GixxerGarage and joined RN(S). The forum has allways been an important part of the website. It used to be for SevenElevens only, but when spammers kept flooding the message board we built a new one for all types of visitors. A few months back R-House had to close it's forum because of unwanted advertisements and now redirects it's visitors to our forum.
We came close to shutting down RN(S) because of lack of support... this website is all about giving and getting nothing in return, but decided not to proceed with the finger hovering above the kill-switch.
We hope you'll enjoy this website for many more years and that it will prove valueable to many more special-building entusiasts like ourselves.
Cheers mate!

Tomorrow will be our third anniversary! Posted Wednesday, June 5, 2002 by Mr.7/11
Well it was a close call because we were in doubt if we had to continue our efforts or not.
But I guess we'll have to continue because we've realised we've become slaves to our own creation ;-)
