BUXTON PRACTICE (BEFORE THE STORM)
















We were gagging to get out on track , having missed last weeks practice with all the other Shorttrack UK boys , so we hauled ass up to Bootifull Buxton for a right royal burn up ! Found myself pretty outtacontrolla most of the day - trying to put the power down in the dusty deep dirt ! But the upside was some big old sideways action - not always in the corners either ! The speedway boys kept us entertained , mainly with their amazing skill - but also with some big pile ups !Nearly got my ass kicked by an 10 year old on his school-boy scrambler (KX80?) big up for Sam , who told me the XR could start an earthquake ! Nice one .
More pics and a video of the XR750 noise machine here http://www.flickr.com/photos/redmaxspeedshop/sets/72157617401807124/
Oh yea , Sideburn girl took all these pics , and the Noisey video (last pic in set, click to play ! )

KEEF - START ME UP (music reference again)
















So Keef pops in and says kin i borroz ya starter fing ? so we pop it on the old pick em up truck n head over to his gaff , he's just fitted his re-con mag to his XR750 and can't get it to fire up ! anyway the way it turned out my starter rollers would'nt start it so after 'bout an hour we drained the carbs out , fitted some warm plugs and pushed it to the top of the hill for an old fashioned bump-start and BABOOMSKI off she goes , just a small tweak on the ignition timing and she was ticking over too - music to our ears if not all his nieghbours . Here are the pics .XR750 first two , XR1000 then Triumph Hurricane n Keef .

HARLEY 'JUMBLE











Had a good day out at the Harley autojumble last week end , spotted a couple of nice bobbers and bought a couple of bits for the projects including a flat slide carb .Took the Thruxton out (as it's the only bike with a dual seat ) with sideburn girl on the back for a change . Bumped into a few people there including Keef on his XR1000 , so i'm gonna go over his gaff n get some pics of his bikes asap , he's got - XR1000 , XR750 and a Triumph Hurricane in purple ! Pics soon as .

RECORD RACIN' - WIGAN STYLE !







Dave Murdo sent me these pictures over to prove just what a nice cafe racer you can make out of an XS650 , they don't all have to be Flattrackers !



He's just got the wiring loom to finish off today , then it's off scratchin' round some lanes .

DAYTONA - PARTY LIKE IT'S 1999 !











Yea - party like it's 1999 , mainly cos it is ! (well was) when i took these pics at the Municipal raceway in Daytona exactly ten years ago ! Won't bore you with Harleys on main street , but real racing machines just before the main event . Hot twins in the Pits .
