Another step closer towards world domination ;-) Posted Wednesday, August 31, 2005 by Mr.7/11
Last year we already assimilated GS4.co.uk and gave shelter to Triker's bike pics. We've had already been hosting most of UK_Lee's tech articles for some time now, all for the sake of providing you the best info on oldskool suzooks. Since a few weeks Lee's website has moved to the OldSkoolSuzuki.info web server completely so he doesn't have to worry about space, uploading GSX-R porn for the rest of us.
Have a look at his updated site uklee.info or more directly oldskoolsuzuki.info/uk_lee.
I still have to do some work on the guestbook which is functional but looks shite at the moment.
Welcome to the dark side Lee! Join the house-warming party here.

Oldskool nitrous by the NOS Wizard Posted Monday, August 22, 2005 by Mr.7/11
Over the past few years I've been painstakingly trying to complete the nitrous system for the Katana project with the help of Blubber (Festo goodies), FastCat (NOS foggers) and PaulaRacing (fuel pump), but when Trevor "the NOS Wizard" Langfield crosses your path and offers you the original missing bits you can't say no can you? Even the old designs are still superior to any other brands on the market. Have a look at the bits that will be fighting for space on the Kat soon. On top of that the nice folks at noswizard.com are offering a 20% group discount to OSS members! So this is your chance to get the best nitrous system at a very low rate!

Mr.7/11's computer case, painted by PDF Designs Posted Tuesday, August 16, 2005 by Mr.7/11
With the increasing popularity of this website (an average of 12.500 unique visitors a month and still rising) I also spend more and more time behind the PC instead of in the garage working on my bikes. My holiday confronted me how much time maintaining a website of this scale actually takes, as normally I used a bit of my bosses' time too, much to the dislike of my colleague Arjan (sorry mate ;-)
One of OSS's in-house painters, Paul from PDF Designs, offered me to paint "anything I'd like" a while ago and a few weeks ago I decided to take him up on that, asking if he'd paint a computer case for me. Anyway to cut a long story short I let him have a go at it, with the only instructions being having to match the site's design a bit.
Paul finished the job in record time and created the "pimpest" case on this side of the universe! [/geek mode]

Bike of the Month - August 2005 Posted Friday, August 5, 2005 by PerversePolisher
This time the Bike of the Month was selected by Yamirider. I was hoping this formula would create some more variation but the last two are black again. It seems hard to break out of the box ;-)
Anyway this month we have Saffa's big and cuddly GSX.
