Sorry to jump on here. On my new engine im building (originally a b12) i plan to run a gsxr 11 pickup and rotor to work with my ignitech. Now when i come to time the engine up, bearing in mind it will have adjustable cam wheels. Should i time the motor up with the bandit pickup plate and rotor then change the backing plate and pickup to gsxr 1100. Or should i be ok timing the motor with the gsxr 11 plate and rotor? Cheers

Fink me n the burd will be coming as OSS fodder. My bodging and random tools services will be avalible. Be no racing (unless someone needs a rider ) for me and i think the wheelie bike will be too rough to put on the stand as is going into storage. I might just PUT FUEL IN BIKE - NOW! all weekend @Rene EFE

Baby sitting form filled in

Worst performance eveuurrrrrr since going to elvington. Bike was running mint. Loads of 190 odd speeds so I know the bike still got the legs for job. I kept messing up my entry to the kilo. The wheel has to be in the air upon entry, if it's not then the rest of the run is pointless. I was leaving the line and racing through the box to get it to boost in 5th to lift the wheel on power before my entry. I misjudged it so many times with the wheel not coming up in time, the time it did it would boost so damn hard it would just go skyward, I'd roll the throttle off and try catch it again before the wheel came back to earth, it didn't happen. Straight up my bad, apologies for the build up for it to fizzle to nothing no one is more disappointed than myself. Thanks to everyone that helped as per in order for me to sit on that start line with an absolute weapon under me. Once you fluff the entry the only thing for it is to pin the throttle and enjoy the rest of your run. 198mph no fairing with the front end gone all light and vauge... I forgot how much strength is needed to wrestle the old girl along. Dust myself off. Try again another day.

Some artistic license I'd say.

Change of gearing and waiting for third run

Queued up for second run. Rained off

First sighting run, quick nut n bolt check now

Up and scrutineering done

Friday Wedding done it was time to finish off those loose ends.. so I thought. Team Holland like a well oiled military machine we're ready as ever whilst I was faffing in the corner... quick test ride revealed that the bike would not pull over 5krpm. We started looking for the source of the fault. with the help of current wheelie record holder Egbert Van Popta, we couldn't find all that much wrong with it. Put it back together in the vein hope it would just disappear.. it didn't. Bottom lip out, kicking the dirt... then I remembered. Remember those carb slides l fitted.... that are currently sat in a box in my shed back in Cheshire... yeah.. During all this it became apparent that with me being so rushed from wedding duties n all I'd forgot some important things.. Box of Top speed sprockets, chain guard, back protector, sweets. It was decided that I would go to Elvington and setup whilst Hannah (Newly renamed) Rodgers and my lovely lady Jess would embark on a mercy mission back to Cheshire from Yorkshire to collect the said missing items and the pesky carb slides. So I setup and started to strip the bike in prep for the delivery of parts. i waited, which slowly became.. we waited. By this time the Wheelie Family were starting to bark at the moon and boogie to any DAB station they could find. My little family returned bearing gifts! I love these guys xx Then like some sort of Moto Gp trained race team people just jumped on my bike to help change the sprockets, whilst I fitted the carb bits and with @Zepp making a chain guard to fit the bike. About midnight to 1am time the bike was done and dusted with me extending my gratitude to those that pitched in. (Pics to follow here later) Race Day 1 (Saturday) Its 7:35, the van us being blown about, I need a wee but am refusing to get up and Iv still gotta go get signed on. I hope it's a tail wind and not a side wind.

Bike successfully in Yorkshire, got a Wedding tomorrow for Dodge to which I am the best man... speech.... That gives me Friday morning/afternoon to go over things, seen a few drops of oil from the sump, Jess put that on so at least I have someone to blame.

Yep, gotta have power for the kettle & radio 2

Race fuel in diesel in bike in
