post track day meeting in the loveless shed today, dangerous reckons we should sell the 'zed and get something with more horsepower, i want to stick with the mz and develop it further, get a mikuni carb and decent exhaust system, fairing and get more weight off the bike, i like being the underdog and sticking it up them, punk rock two stroke versus japanese four stroke, trouble is, i won't be eligible for the mz race series with those mod's, what to do? cost's a fortune to race with bemsee, trackday's are a third of the price of racing so that's three times as much time on track as a race meeting, like to get the bike approved for crmc event's but can't see that happening, seem's strange that you can run a manx norton that was made in alfreton at summerfield engineering on a cnc machine, a replica frame from new zealand and 17's with modern rubber, belt drive primary, modern electronic ignition, [hidden in a 'magneto' casing] or a 'hailwood replica' basically a 'baby' fireblade water-cooled four cylinder engine in a replica frame with just a period correct paint-job but when i enquired about racing with the vmcrc i was slagged off for having jap wheel's and italian brake's, what's a matter? afraid i might just upset your apple cart?
