[GregT]

A good time was had by all....Some pics to let you guys know what gets run at our meetings.

First and most important - The Winnah....The GS1000 i look after.

Dominant will do as a description.

A very fast CB750 Honda - CR750 replica

[GregT]

A fairly cheap way to go European... A Guzzi, 850 originally I think, 1000 now.

[GregT]

The expensive way to go British - A Rob North trident. Quick and makes a nice noise...

[GregT]

More than one Suzuki running - a nice and pretty stock 750 Katana.

[GregT]

We get real Vintage stuff too....

[GregT]

triplenut's triple....A recent new member on here. Yamaha, big bore, cams, 35mm Mikuni's....etc etc. Serious stuff and it sounds fabulous.

[GregT]

Exotic stuff - a genuine CB1100R - and it gets used hard too....

[GregT]

This is your European Junior Cup winner - Jake Lewis, a local lad doing well in Europe. He's been signed to Honda Europe till 2015 I'm told but one prize was a ride on his uncle's CB1100R....His dad's raced it too.

And no, he didn't like it much - no brakes,poor grip levels etc etc.... he's been told if Ron Haslam or Wayne Gardener ask, be polite.....

Hi Greg, I think your man need some wider bars on the 1000 .

Hi Greg, I think your man need some wider bars on the 1000 .

It's wide enough now - just ask the guys he passed down the outside on the front straight....

Next move is actually to get the lightweight fiberglass seat base I have here mounted and upholstered - with the hump moved forward. He's complaining about arm pump from hanging on in a straight line...

Thanks for the pics.
Seen some cool customs but never seen a racing XS750.

It's been a long and difficult development - he's documented it on one of the yamaha triple sites under the name Redman. I'd guess it's now getting close to 90 hp at the wheel, maybe more.
