EXUP Worldwide was born from the ashes of the original EXUP Brotherhood – the definitive forum for all those who have interest in Yamaha FZ, FZR, and YZF motorcycles.
Just got my final intructions for the Barry Sheene Easter races.
Crap, there are hot shots comming from all over the world!!
Not the mention Mike & his team of notherners comming down to cause a stink!!
This gonna be big, real big. Cant wait, just got my raceglass back from the paint shop today. Now It has to go to the grafix guy to have my exciting new sponsors logos & grafix fitted.
We have had a couple pull out but still have 5 pre-modern runners coming down A couple of us have a local series round the weekend before so it will be a big fortnight
I havn't got my final instructions yet so hopefully they are in the mail!

Mike, my comment was aimed at Butler but yours came in microseconds ahead of it (I'd only be so blunt with people I've met!!) Nonetheless, sounds like a good suite of bikes from up North, it'll be a mad New Era and pre Modern grid that's for certain. I'm sort of not sad to be missing it!! Turn 1 is stupendous. Can't see the apex as you tip in at 230 or so.
You'll love it, it's one of those corners you can really get your teeth into. I have never ever felt like I nailed it properly, its a frustrating but enticing bit of track at the same time.
Turn 1 on the FZR is sweet. I got it right once, god it was good. Only wish I could do it some more
Mike the Creek suits the FZR like a hand in glove. Big sweeping corners, were the power can really work for you. Just watch turn 2. No big twists of the throttle on that one or things will turn shITTy real fast. The rest of the track is FZR hunting ground..

I will be on a mission to stay upright at all costs.
(Can you remind me of that during the weekend? )
That FZR passes me down the straight, & you'll have more than that to worry about!
Bikes go missing at the creek you know, then turn up later in different with a different rider..
Im almost ready for this one. Got the raceglass fitted, with all new grafix. Looks ok too.
just have to do a service, heat wrap the headers, & we'll be ready.

The asbestos dust off it is good for killing the opposition
It is said to create a thermal barrier, though aluminium/ceramic coatings these days do a far better job, not only aesthetically, but in all respects.
Basically, they (coatings/wraps) keep the heat in the pipes/headers. Not only creating a cooler engine/induction area, but internally accelerating the pulse/vacuum effect, resulting in more efficient scavenging of cylinders. The increased velocity of exhaust gas, draws in the next fuel/air charge more efficiently.... though I've never looked to see if that is actually what is going on in there
