Race Bike Resurrection
Hi just thought I'd share a few pics of my race bike I've been sorting out over the weekend.

Hope to be testing it in Sept and out at Cadwell in Oct with DP.[/img]

Cheers Ben, due to the fact I work away during the week, I'm pressed for time to get the bike ready, especially as I have to occasionally work weekends, so the bike will be pretty standard, looking to fit the new reed blocks and carbs over the winter ready for next year. Just looking forward to get it out and riding it. If your there at Cadwell pop over and speak to us.

Its a BBR fairing and seat unit from replicast, my mate John Hawkes who I used to race against when I ran an RGV and he had this bike knows replicast very well from when he was doing GP 125 at Thundersport, he sourced it from them, apparently he said it was a experimental fairing from a few years ago from a Yamaha TZ 250 WGP team who never came back for the moulds. I was going to use an h***a RS fairing and seat unit as I still have an old one from when I raced one, but after John suggested this I thought why not? Had to chop the front bracket down a bit plus a bit of cutting but got there in the end. I take it yours is a h***a RS one?

not this year I'm the only one.
Mr Jordan might be out to play at the last Cadwell meet.
Mark Stephenson is recovering from a crash at the end of last season, but is fit to race, not sure if he'll be out to play in October, but it's a possibility.
I've not seen Pete Lodge since he blew his engine at Snetterton at the start of the season.
Colin Sleigh hasn't been out on his for a couple of years, so I could see what he's up to for next year.
Andy B hasn't raced his KR since last year, but will be out next year.
Kevin Underhill is still preparing his KR ready for next year.
Virginia Power is racing the TSGP series and Tricia Roberts is doing the brands hatch rounds also with TSGP.
Bob Udall is building a race bike to be ridden next season, but is based near Perth, so will be limited to the northern circuits I imagine.
That just about covers all the KR racers I know of.

Those listed a KR-1S racers, there are more proddy 250's racing.
Regulars at DP are Dan Williams (3XV), David Reynolds (VJ23), Alex Leek (NSR) Grameme Fraser (VJ23), Lee Healey (RS250), Fontyyy still has his NSR, but has been out on a 400 this year. We usually have 6 or 7 per meeting and to be honest, it's what's keeping the 400 class going.
Callum Ward (VJ22), Cory Smith (VJ22), Ian King (3XV) have all done a couple of races with DP this year.
I'm sure with a bit of effort, it could all be resurrected.
