Tommy's Katana Posted Monday, September 29, 2003 by Mr.7/11
I really like the way the Swedes build their Katana's, and if my project would end up like Tommy's I'd be one happy chappy ;-)

Street or Track update Posted Friday, September 26, 2003 by Mr.7/11
It's time to spend a bit of attention on Street or Track again as it's only three weeks to go.

They've got around 30 entries to the StreetFightershow, with nothing too extreme up to now (don't know what they mean with that but allright...).
There'll be one class with three awards plus some extra awards for best special/techical, paintjob and an encourage award.
All bikes entered up to now are bikes that are actually ridden, so no company-bikes up 'till now, and it's suggested that every bike that's ridden to the show gets bonus points.
Everyone who enters gets two tickets for the weekend, a (street or track) t-shirt and a small fuel compensation.

So if you haven't entered your bike yet, DO SO NOW!

Clink from streetfightersmag will be present to hunt down some feature-bikes and there'll be a stand from Fighters Magazin also.
And ofcourse all the oldskoolsuzuk.info "celebrities" will be present so you finally got the chance to buy 'em a beer ;-)

Suspension Setup Article Posted Tuesday, September 23, 2003 by Mr.7/11
Finally I've decided to put my suspension setup article on-line. It aint finished and it ain't perfect, still missing a few pictures, but in our quest to keep dinosars battling on the streets it's about time we started to tweak the handling of our beasts.
It was first written in dutch and posted on the KatanaClub.NL website, and after that the method was succesfully tested on a GSX1400, a SevenEleven and a GSX-R1100 so I hope it'll work for you too.

R.I.P. GSX-R House :-( Posted Wednesday, September 17, 2003 by Mr.7/11
Jasper decided to quit working on the R-House website.
Read the announcement here. But you never now... how many times have I threathened to quit by now? ;-)
Even though I allways referred to the website as "a large picture-book" by the lack of anything to read I will surely miss it.
I hope Jasper will feel relieved and be able to spend many miles aboard his babies!

Stickers available as of now! Posted Wednesday, September 17, 2003 by Mr.7/11
The future of the T-shirts doesn't look very bright at the moment so I've decided to start taking orders for the stickers as of now.
You can order them from this page.

Wayne sent us an update on the status of his project. Have a look at it here.

T-shirts and stickers Posted Tuesday, September 16, 2003 by Mr.7/11
In a few weeks we should have t-shirts and stickers available. Once I have both I will put an order page online with all the details. You'll be informed on this page but up 'till then I won't be accepting any orders... too busy to keep an administration ;-)

Lee shows us again that besides building a proper fighter he can also write up a proper technical article. This time he gives us the lowdown on how to fit a new subframe to your GSX-R
Ummm.. I believe there's a lot of cardboard involved ;-/

Hokfeest cancelled :-( Posted Monday, September 1, 2003 by Mr.7/11
The party of all parties has been cancelled. The Hokfeest has such a reputation that even when Robert would stack a pile of beercrates in a field with a ghetto-blaster on top it'd be a huge succes. We wish the guys 'n gals from Hok14 good luck with finding a new location!

Mourn about this tragedy here
