we just built a little NC30 for my mates brother to do track days on,

brilliant little bike for that, run it all year for next to nothing, tyres are even free off the race guys,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[Sidewinder]

You know what Albert it seems I hate you more every day! :_| :x

 

[steptoe]

Sidey, its not my garage :_|

I wish it was ray

its my mates, we built it last year, its round the corner from revved up ,

Ive just been trawling interweb for timber prices to get a decent shed , workshop, built in my back yard.

 

[Sidewinder]

Steps,

Stuff the garage, I can almost match that, it's the bikes Im P1553d off about!!!

 

[steptoe]

the one on the left is NC30 (hence the VFR) with 35 bits on it, home tuned engine, the one on the right is a NC35 with 30 bits on it, far right is a triumph triple that thought it was a twin, was a bike we got loaned for another mate to race and went like carp, hence why its on the bench.! and the bike at the workbench in the front is the NC30 we built for his brother to do trackdays on, virtually bog standard except for a home made loom and restrictors etc removed.

you want to see bikes sidey?

I went to this guys place last year to drop off some pipes for him,

I nearly shat mesel when he showed me his bikes, almost every bike has provenance and most are still raced yearly at some meeting or other, or at least paraded,,

he was a very private guy so I didnt want to take too many pix, not many people know he even has these bikes, or who he lends them to to ride.

[james KEI]

steptoe, your bike on page 1.. is that a tzr 250 3ma???

here's mine

my gixxer

my recently rebuilt 350 powervalve

and my track bike, rgv 250, cracking little bike

and my dad's LC in the back ground

did you watch the NW200???

 

[Sidewinder]

Now James,

I USED to like you!

Now I HATE you because I am not as religious as the RevJ & Revvd up, so I don't fully adhere to the 10 commandments.

That means I AM JEALOUS!!!

WOW, seriously cool mate love the bikes, would well like a stable like that myself.

I grew up with LC's, RD's & KH's !

Would love another bike.

Good on you!

 

[Manator]

I thought I would show you my first ever bike (I bought it second hand).

 

[steptoe]

It is indeed JAMES, Ive had it for about 20yrs, been in bits in my mates garage for about 17 of them due to me working away a lot in that time.

Is that a vj21 you have? Did you get the powervalves sorted?

When I bought the 3ma I actually went to buy a 350LC, but saw the 3ma and fell in love cos it was the "same" bike Gary Cowan rode.

Manator, sorry, i.cant see your bike, on my phone and it doesnt do pop ups.

 

[m4tty]

I moved a board from mains intake room to unit for bemsee last week. Think you would have been in heaven steps, well my dad was as he loves bikes and tt races etc. Hes been over there loads and takes part in mad Sunday. The trophy room was amazing and all the posters etc on wall there was really interesting.

 

[steptoe]

manator, is that a tiger ? do you still have it? worth a few bob now I woulda thought.

m4tty, your dad probably knows anyway, but commentary can be found here

 

[Manator]

Yes steptoe, that is a picture of the same model that I had, it was a 1956 tiger cub 200, I had it chopped down and used it for beach racing, which is similar to speedway but on sand. I later went through the fizzy stage, then bought a Honda 400/4 the blue one, followed by a CM 250T, I did also own a Moto Guzzi 850 le mans for a while. Alas my freedom ended with marriage.

Cor!!!! motorbikes!!!!

john....

 

[steptoe]

John, you have no idea what you could be letting yourself in for mate,

you could always set yourself up a little sideline making rearsets , clip-ons etc.......

 

[husky2013]

loving the bikes steps. gimme 2 mins ill post some pics of bikes me dad has sprayed!

---------- Post Auto-Merged at 21:59 ---------- Previous post was made at 21:52 ----------

All of these where sprayed by my dad, the hayabusa is his along with the CBR600 sprayed in Copper Orange with Orange Flake, the pics simply do not do them justice! the Air Tanks where sprayed as a favour for his mate.

 

[steptoe]

Im liking the 30, it just always annoys me that folks want something looking nice before they worry about how well it works!

I was always taught function before form, but I suppose times change.
