Bike of the Month - October 2005 Posted Wednesday, September 28, 2005 by Mr.7/11
You can see by this bike we're gearing up for our attack on Fighterama ;-)
This 'ere little bike made quite an impact when it landed here, and immediately was chosen bike of the month. Built by Mike Tabb and painted by Keith @ NastyPaint (talkin of which... you've only got two days left to win yourself a helmet painjob by the man).
Mike's done a formidable write-up on the build, remember you can allways put your bike in the spotlights by doing the same.

The pictures from Street or Track Posted Monday, September 19, 2005 by Mr.7/11
Again Street or Track has been a huge succes! Thanks to all the guys from OSS that were there to help, have a chat or fill their pockets ;-) , Jon for being a great host (Good luck with your new EFE project bike), INS1 for the awards, and ofcourse those great guys from Dynostar.com who again raped our bikes on the dyno like there's no tomorrow. Report of the dyno-shootout will be on-line soon.
For me the fun really starts with finally relaxing after the chaos and having a look at the pictures you all made.
Even more pictures and videos on the .infoBoard

OldSkoolSuzuki.info @ Streetfighterday 2005 Posted Thursday, September 15, 2005 by Mr.7/11
Just like last year OSS will be taking main stage at the Street or Track Streetfighterday, Sunday September 18th at the Veemarkthallen (Sartreweg) in Utrecht.

Our all-new party tent will be there with bikes from your favourite OSS members ;-) To have your bike on the stand be there at 9:30 and go to the exhibitors-entrance where Blubber will give you a free ticket and guide you to the stand. If we get more than 8 bikes or bikes that arrive later than 9:30 will have to pay their own ticket at 7 euros which is a bargain for such a great event. Triker will be there again to take professional-quality pictures of your bike and yourself or/and a gorgeous model.



We're also having our traditional Dynostar.com horsepower-shootout battling for the no-bullshit trophy. Entrance is free for OSS-members and you don't need to have your bike on the stand to enter. Just come to the OSS stand and we'll get it sorted.



For more info visit the Street or Track website or the official SoT thread on the .infoBoard

See y'all on Sunday!

Marco "Bruteforce" van de Velde's GSX1100 Turbo Posted Tuesday, September 13, 2005 by Mr.7/11
Thanks to the rather new Forced Induction section on the .infoBoard we've been attracting hordes of turbo-loonies lately. One of them is Marco who has developed his GSX1100 Turbo all by himself. Check the article on the development of his bike and discuss here.

Bike of the Month - September 2005 Posted Saturday, September 10, 2005 by Mr.7/11
Just like the slabby 7/11 the GS5/7 (GS550E frame with GSX-R750 engine) is a true cult-bike with more of these on the streets than you may realise. Agent Orange's Bike of the Month is one of the finest examples of such a hybrid. More info about his project here .

Metzeler 240 Posted Thursday, September 8, 2005 by Mr.7/11
I've been looking for a good deal on a Metzeler 240 tyre for a while now, and logic says you should be able to get them cheapest from the country they were made in. So I went looking on eBay.de and found the shop MC-Reifen.de who are selling the tyre for a very fair price of 149 euro's! Click here for the ad on eBay.de
So a big thumbs up to Alfred Schenk from Mc-Reifen.de Discuss here

Crossbow Calendar 2006 Posted Tuesday, September 6, 2005 by Mr.7/11

Discuss here while I'm getting a new box of Kleenex.

Pictures from PAMO Nederweert Posted Sunday, September 4, 2005 by Mr.7/11
Supposedly it was last time the event was organised, which is a shame because it's allways been a great opportunity to gaze at a wild variety of bikes. Talking about a "wild variety"... how about this slabby with a trailer-hook??? More pictures...
