It was wicked. Such a cool TD.

I am liking the travelling through history with the bike. Some cool pics I have stashed away.

We have a nurburgung 400GB session on the cards for the next installme. and no9 gets a paint job!

This thread is awesome

Now hurry up and give us the next instalment

Cool thread!

Evolution of the Species...

were is the next bit i want to see the rest!

Bloody hell..it seems a long time ago

I'll get a brew and get on it..

Right on...

So. we are rolling into the 2007 season I reckon and I was loving riding my NC30. I still did not have a car licence and was riding to work, to trackdays and around and about the peak district.

I had gone for a 15/43 sprocket setup and was conbinved I could learn to wheelie the bike with that setting as it felt so fast!

I discovered the joys of BT090s and acquired a spare wheel and some spare fairings for the track. Didn't want to smash up (again) my fairings!!

The moto in track mode.



Shape eyed amongs you will spot the stealth rotors. Awesome bits of kit and also a set of the CBR600FX calipers.. in 2007 Not a lot new to be seen these days....seen it and done most of it!!



I also ran R&G bungs for a bit - they lasted a wee while before I decided I did not like them and did not want to crack my motor mounts in a fall (they were the drill ones)

Still running Yamamoto no2 system and it was all good.


(as an aside, I bought another NC30 off a dude in Hartlepool (via here) ) *was initally tagged as no15..but due to shameful state of the bike I sacked it and it went to Geoff to die....

I collected it after having a crack and the dude seemed alright. It had a blade front wheel...blade discs...and would not start even though it span over on the button.



A little bit of, very in depth, troubleshooting and we figure out the engine not sparking...a bit more continuity checking and voila...sabotage!!





Dodgy fucker eh?

Once the wiring was sorted the bike started and it was immediately apparent that he motor was fubar. Clacking like a tractor and so a call to Geoff and it was history!

Regarding no9...well, I happened upon a pic of the NR750 1987 Endurance bike..









What a cool looking moto!!

Word up,

SO, the moto was looking tired and it was time for a new paint job...

As the previous post, we were looking for an NR750 rep stylee... and in the usual style..it was a rattle can and stella mission with the parts hanging off the washing line and the sides of the shed.

a proper pikey job..

Bit of a prep session...wanted it nice and shiny white so primered and a lovely shade of shiny silver base coat..

















Fuck me, I am stylish...



Old school Honda wings...


And..thus, after a bit of a session it was done.

After all that ballache...well, surprise surprise...we had another trackday sorted.

This was one of the first TD at the new Anglesey..very exciting!

Another little bit of whoring of the NR paint job...looks lovely eh?





Now getting ready to go..fitted my no9s to the no9...



Jimmy Funster in the background, he had a lovely NC (also sourced from my mate Aki, who sold me the no9!)

We had a lovely little inter posse bike dealing operation on the cards.







Funsters first knee down...


As we all know..a little bit of confidence leads to arrogance and then perhaps you might get cocky...



My bike looks lovely in that vid eh?

Jimmy was all good, we got him fixed up and back out..the crazy fool.

On the night time, Aki actually turned up...and as he was not riding, he got wasted..

He ruled on the BBQ front..and the ale...

the calm before the storm..


Company cars are awesome for chundering in the back of...



Apart from that, Angelsey was a great track. Grippy as hell and really flowing. not as good as Cadwell IMO but definitely better than Croft and Silverstone.

Rock and roll...

I really like that scheme

Nice little write up on your loved one Mark, Aglesey looks fun. Is that some sort of mini corkscrew? Did your mate grab some front brake or something mid corner?
