Ok, so at what point do I finally give up getting any bloody sleep...
Well, how many babies does it take to learn that lesson - I got it into my thick skull after 2.
Big congrats ^_^

OK I'm back on the rivet :unsure:. I've posted my first August CG time for stage 1 (but not my first attempt :cursing:). Not too bad for 2 weeks off for me. I was going to try for stage 2 but didn't have it in the legs :surrender: cramping calves are painful.

I'll have a go at stage 2 tomorrow and then try to catch up a SC stage on Saturday.

I'm back :whistle:

Congratulations Mr DP.. and to family DP.

One is enough.. I booked the vasectomy before he was out of special baby care...

The rest I'll leave to your imaginations..

I did exactly the same Jim then got divorced and married someone with two young girls.
My lad was 5 when I met my now wife as was her eldest daughter and her youngest was under two.
Good news was every other weekend we had no kids, plenty of lay ins and lots of time to test that my snip worked.

My brother has an immaculate 350 LC and also a YPVS. I never got the two stroke bug, preferred big four strokes! Quite fancy a Ducati Supersport, but I think my motorcycling days are behind me. Will probably spend the money on some outrageously priced bicycle instead...

Didn't we all want a Duke back in the 80's, warts n'all.
I think my 2 stroke choice was down to performance rather than engine type.
There were not a lot of 4 stroke 250's that could match the 2 strokes back then.

In the late 70's a work mate of mine had a hybrid Laverda Montjuic/Jota.
An of the shelf Montjuic spiced up with the cams etc from a donor Jota that someone had previously written off for him on one of those 'quick blasts up the road to see how it handles'. It sounded like a dream with it's 180 crank (the 120 more balanced crank was introduced some time later).
My Z650 suffered a similar fate however it was totally salvageable and lead to a period of modifications including:
1. The engine P&M 720 cc go faster mods
2. Suspension (koni rears and uprated front springs)
3. Rear box swing arm
4. Piper 4 into 1
5. 5 Litre Alloy Tank
6. Clip-ons and rear-sets (turned by my good self on a lathe)
7. Sports Seat and rear hump
8. Brembo twin front disc conversion
9. General removal of anything that was not needed like indicators, side panels etc
10. 5 spoke alloy wheels in gold and polished ally.
11. Piranha electronic ignition.
12. 4 x bell mouths for the Mikuni smooth-bores fitted with integral mesh grills to stop dogs and children getting sucked in.

Great, so not not do you have to add weight to slow you down now you've had a slower bkool unit!

I hate to think how fast you'll start going now, hopefully giving Pep a run for his money...

DP. its the opposite, the chip of magnet was, I believe, stopping the magnet carrier/slider moving correctly and hence my resistance was not piling on as quick as it should do.
This, I assume, explains what I was seeing yesterday when Bill and I hit a reasonable incline together as I would shoot of as if nothing had happened leaving Bill several seconds behind in as many seconds.

Anyone up for a nice flat ride tonight at 7pm?
Stage 2 Chain Gang in Heerhugowaard/Netherlands.

Some will no doubt be doing the Summer Cup but I've already done that and have no intention of doing it again, at least not in the present league.

Likewise - I'll be there for the CG 2 tonight, doing my usual time trialling at the back.
Hopefully some faster 'buddies' will be around to keep you company.
