Below is a list of kettle events for next year, some are yet to be confirmed, full details will appear in the Flexi Flyer, or if you know of any events that you think would be suitable contact me via my details on the front page of the latest Flyer. |

IN THE GARAGE . . .
After getting bitten by the track day bug on a kettle, my plans have now changed and am now building a track orientated bike, not quite sure how it will end up, but have a collection of parts at the moment plus the bike, so watch this space. |

| Update April 2007 well folks my first bandit swingarm i had modded became expensive scrape metal [it had distorted too much] but me old muckka marly reeves came to the rescue and modded another which is perfect have had 12 mill taken off the sprocket carrier, spaced the front sprocket out 2 mill, cut down the chain guard, and fitted some piggy back shocks, should have it up and running in a few weeks to see how it handles !!!!!!! |

Update April 2008 |
||||
|
After 2 trackdays i had found that i had a few problems with my unknown
history 32 year old engine, it had suffered from some chronic jumping out of
3rd and 4th gear when on full chat on the track resulting in some massive
over revs, i had also had some gear selector problems when it wouldn't
change down from 4th to 3rd on several occasions, so i have recently pulled
the motor apart in time for this years fun with it and probably not a moment
too soon I part of the piston skirt had gone completely on the rh pot, bike was still running ok as such but the remains of it was found in the gearbox as some nice ally sludge, the dogs on 3rd gear were very worn, and it must have lost the water pump cog at some stage in its life as some nice large bits of white nylon were found sitting under the gear selector drum. i have had a set of barrels warmed up by Adrian Mann of 77bhp at the back wheel fame, i am re ringing the pistons as the bores seem ok on these barrels he has trimmed the pistons too, a different gearbox with much less wear care of Phil Jones will be going in [owe you a big favour now phil], ebc clutch kit with heavy duty springs, and i will be reverting to cv carbs up jetted to 120 and ramair filters, going back onto oil tank as well now i can replace the broken oil pump drive shaft, hopefully after all this i will have a Dave and Phil beater [may have to lose a few lbs as well to help the cause thou] looking at going back to Oulton Park and trying Donnington this year and maybe the new track at Anglesey as well cheers for now Hammie
