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?

 couple more photo's from the morini owner's track day at cadwell, the triton was stunning, probably the best one i have ever seen, the lad's with the velo's were great crack, i changed out of my leathers for the dinner break and wandered around to have a look at the bikes and get some pic's, i snapped a couple of photo's and one of them said, 'don't do that mate, he won't get his helmet on now', game on, i dropped it, 'i'm just gathering evidence', 'come again son?', 'i reckon you lot are a disgrace, thrashing these motorcycles around a racetrack when you should be polishing them and showing them', 'you can fuck off you wanker, that's what they are for!', i made with the reeling- them-in-fishing-rod-mime-thing and they got it straight away, 'you got me going there son, thought you were serious', we are meeting up at festival of a thousand bike's, proper.
