was great to catch up.... bit frazzled from the drive and the super drugs I am on but it was a fab day, got to shake hands and have a quick chat with Steve Parrish who was really nice.

Rode through to spectate for a couple of hours in the early afternoon, spotted a few of the usual suspects from this parish.  Nice day for it.  TBH I expected a bit more from the hype before the event https://bikes.suzuki.co.uk/news/suzuki-announces-classic-bike-track-day-at-cadwell-park/  .  Apart from the trackday riding there wasn't a great deal else to see and the paddock displays were rather smaller that you might have expected from the promo.  But hey-ho, it was free to have a look and the ride there was nice enough.

Saw someone's Old Skool turboed bike on the dyno mightily impressing the dyno man with I think he said 260bhp .  Sounded awesome too.  What seemed to really impress was the lovely power curve.  Must be someone on here's bike?  A FBM product?

That was me lol. It was a second hand turbo kit for a b12 I adapted to fit the 750 slabside frame. Engine is b12 1216cc  busa rods, pistons 2mm spacer plate, big valve head & flowed by Rodger Upperton, gsx1100f cams, b12 carbs, lock up clutch held together with APE stuff.

Well done Clive, nice bike.  I had to chuckle at the faces on the small gaggle of onlookers, they seemed totally WTF that some oil boiler could put out those sort of figures.  I think you opened a few eyes there!  As I said to one of them, the old ones are still the best

What a cracking day, finally killed my motor in the 1st session, it only took 5 years, over 20k miles and numerous speed trials and trackdays to finish it off.

Also had the privilage of being the 1st person to ride the brand new Tl1000 built by classic suzuki in anger.

Ace fun.

[Rene EFE]
