The airbox on the YZF, is it genuine or a replica?

I think it is genuine. Not sure how to tell

picked up a kitted 94 ZXR which has all the good bits

Yeah I have seen snippets of info around the forums. Looks like a nice bit of kit. HP is good

I had a different plan for the year and, yet again, not everything went to plan. The plan was that a mat...

Continue development of the YZF race bike but with a different rider. Made good progress on the suspension in the second half of 2012 and will get someone else to ride it in 2013 (someone faster ) I have been seduced by a 955 Ducati which I will race this year.

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Good read Jon. I completely understand how races you look forward to are not always good and other ones suprise you.

Personally I'm not a fan of racing with motards but as long as you are having fun

Went off the mags for a while but my daughter recently bought me a subscription to Australian Motor Cycle News which is OK. I think I prefer Two Wheels though. The editor of Rapid has started a new mag in Aus called 'Knee Down' which is aimed at Track Day riders/Club Racers. Very Aus but a good mag.

Yikes! That's a lot. (Especially at the rate I have been buying them )

I wear bamboo socks. Expensive but comfy and they seem to soak up sweat well.

Thursday/Friday After a half day at work and then a spirited competition with some work mates at the local go kart place, I hooked up the trailer, picked up my mate and his wife (G&T) and we headed off into the night. Another mate of ours who was entered in the same class as me was having carby issu...

Yet another great read Steve and congrats. I'm not sure I would even go out in iffy conditions. Full dry or maybe full wet if I was feeling OK, none of this patchy in between stuff for me Well done!

I hope you built a big trophy cabinet Steven :) Another good write up. Interesting that you are allowed to do practice starts down there. A real no no for us up here which sort of sucks! Good luck at Mac Park at Easter. It looks like I will be running around Eastern Creek that weekend in the first r...

Top report Steven. Got me all the way through my morning coffee

Congrats on the results and good luck on the weekend.

Will you still be coming to the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed? Unfortunately I had to cancel my entry and I won't be coming down at all. (With me pulling out that leaves one Queenslander in PreModern... Brad on his Fireblade. I reckon he may go OK :) ) I was eyeing off the Easter meeting at Easter...

Well, after a break of 18 months or so due to various injuries I decided it was time to line up on a start grid again last month. The break from racing all started with a practice day high side, a long spell to heal then another practice day high side then another long spell...see a pattern here? I ...

gotta have a dream...

Hmm Lean=Risk. Looks like moving your body over will get you less lean for the same corner speed, or same lean with more corner speed.

Yep figured that out after I fell over a couple of times. Move my arse a bit more now

It does take a special type of skill and style haha

like the strategically placed chair Used to be my smoking chair. Now I have given them up I can't sit in that chair any more, makes me want to light up to help with the pondering :) I've heard of draggin the back brake around corners Whilst I was using dangerous levels of lean angle when I had thes...

I bought some of these for a YZF750 a while back. They stuck out a lot and scraped badly. See pic below.

It is a shame to hear some people are pulling out of the weekend. I am still going in pre modern.
