Yep! That's the one mate. I was well peed off with myself. :evil: Was doing quite well as I holeshotted most of the field!! This was about 10 or 20 minutes after leaving the start line. After I got it back and went out on the KTM after, seeing the rest of the terrain, I doubt the MT would have been capable of finishing a lap anyway (with my skills, Minter/Ady/Others on here I'm sure could have done it).

Thanks though Gary, it's all looking a bit scary from here! :shock:

Gary you put us all to shame, I have been on with a sprag for....ever, feels like it.

Go for it Nick, make sure you get some good footage, ride your own race and be safe.

Nice 'tache Porn Star!

This morning has gone well! Engine casing in oven for half hour, main bearings in freezer, then the 2 halves just fell together! Bonus!

RHS now complete... New oil filter and O ring fitted..

Image

LHS taking shape, Sprag and primary gears on and the kick start shaft.. The clutch is toast tho, so the engine will have to wait till bits arrive...

Image

I'll make a start on the chassis this aft...

Looks to be coming together nicely on your blue engine stand.
