    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Right on pete the isle of man may be tiny but the engineering standards are world class most are bikers and the place is awash with old race bikes and race parts you need to know the right people unfortunatly ive fallen out with one guy who is dripping with more race parts and bikes than you could dream off example of one or 2 are john konchinkes no 2 tz250 and ron haslams ns500 among another 50 plus gp bikes and he is not the only one over here i know

Bike racing must be a cult religion there. I'm hoping to make a pilgrimage to IOM myself someday.
 
Its a brave man to race a manxie over the mountain them boys are nuts
 
Not a good start on the motor some gorrila has been in there !!! I popped the clutch cover off and found only 5 clutch bolts ? 1 was missing i went to remove the clutch basket the nut was hand tight ! I wonder where that bolt and spring has gone :( on stripping the whole motor down i found 1 snapped crankcase bolt at the back of the motor 1 broken gearbox cog and a small piece of webbing of the top of the top half of the crankcase where possibly the bolt and spring hit 1 broken magnet on the fly wheel the head is mint as is the barrels lucky ive a
spare gearbox and flywheel and my m8 has a spark eroder and to think i was just going to paint this motor and use it im glad i checked it out first
 
My shopping list is getting smaller all i need now is a oil cooler kit some accbillet rearsets a nice wiring loom a new screen spacers made and my spondon top yolk copied as a rock ape decided to drill it for renthals and then take a file to it @@@sss
 
This is the chosen wheel/ disc and caliper combination chosen the 5 spokes as i want to use a speedo drive ive got some internals form a slingshot speed to fit inside the katana clocks so i reads correctly
