The aim is to prepare a bike as cheaply as possible for my son and I to race but still be able to show the CBRs a thing or two. I need a race fairing - does anyone know if they're available at a sensib...

Why? Because I can...
.....or can I?
Another of those "Will it fit" questions". Looking to at the feasibility of putting an R6 engine (hopefully a late model) in an FZR600 frame. Anyone know how practical this is? I have welding gear and a disc cutter! Somebody must have done this.......or at least tried.

Interesting reads on helmets part 2
My daughter (6 years old today) called me at work. "Daddy, I've got a funny sticker for your helmet". I got home to find she had saved me a nice sticker for my race helmet:- 'IN THE INTERESTS OF HYGENE DO NOT REMOVE BRIEFS WHEN TRYING ON THIS GARMENT' It certainly puts a smile on the faces of the sc...

1000 to 750 wheel swap - done it.
Hi, in answer to the question of fitting the 1000 rear wheel - yes it can be done. Not a drop-in conversion though. The wheel has to be made narrower (by machining away the outer part of the cush drive) to fit inside the swingarm. The cush rubbers need to be cut away by the same amount. It does fit ...
