What ya racing in 2011 ?
« on: October 08, 2010, 09:51:33 PM »
Sorry people but i need something good to read on here and hopefully this thread will lead to some good storys.

So come on spill ya beans what are you building or finishing off to race in 2011, there must be some good stuff out there nearly ready to go. ?

My list.

1st bike.
              YZ 250 G this thing is going to get a complete makeover including frame re-paint, new rims, re-plated spokes, engine strip down and check up, spend some hours on the tank and then fit new stickers to it, fresh rubber front and rear, re-gas rear shock and fit a fat prick spring to it. That should do this one as it is a fairly tidy bike anyway, it will end up a very clean standard looking race bike.

As purchased 2003

As raced 2010.





2nd bike.
              YZ 250 89 model, i bought this thing in January 2010 and have only got the frame finished, all bolts re-plated, bottom end of engine is fresh, still need to finish painting the swingarm, new rims, re-plate spokes, fresh rubber front and rear, freshen up top end, some porting to barrel as it is shocking, re-assemble and fit all new plastics which is sitting in cupboard and all the usual finishing off required.

As purchased Jan.2010




I can`t wait to race this thing as it has an Ohlins 360 top end on it and should really get up and go, this year i only managed to do 1 race meeting which is just bullshit. Plan is to be at every Viper round in 2011 no matter what is going on at work, that shit will still be there on the Monday.

I hope you do Hilly as it would be good to catch up at the races again, you might have to put the fire in Hoony`s belly again too.

Having been tied down for the last few years with weekend work, I've got big plans for my "comeback" next year.  ;)

As long as I find out dates early enough to keep the weekends free, I'd like to do all the Classic Scramble Club rounds, the Nats and CD8 on my Husky Mag 250CR. I'm also hoping to get to all Vic Vinduros (Harrow's already locked in at least) and a couple of NSW vinduros on my super-reliable Montesa 250.  :D :D :D :D

If I can find something weird at a good price, I'd also like to get a Euro trials bike of some sort to bring to CD8 as well.

My wife was keen for me to do Finke on the Husky, but as much as I love the desert, the more I thought about it, the more I realised that it would cost more to do that one event than all the Vinduros.   ::)

Excuse my ignorance, but what is an Ohlins 360 top end ? I thought that Ohlins only did suspension.
