ja preswick ind. have started building these 95k what a bargain????
-
Looks like a WLA with a JAP 880 in it.....it's a bit too much the home made bobber for 95k for my taste ::)
-

-
i hate it all except that beautiful engine.

Yep that's the one , Hoony but Firko, I dont think it's an 8/80, JAP made all sorts of big V twins, I'll do some research.

For that price, I want an ELECTRIC START !!

Well, I'll be, check this out

Good onya Pete for marking our cards about the BRAND NEW JAP
Foss

You're right, Firko, it is a Highly Dangerous WLA frame , copper plated , no less, the engine is apparently known as the SS120 and is 90 x 100 bore and stroke, here is another engine from the same mob.

And here's the Aussie take on it, the Greg Summerton 8/80

I know which motor I'd take home !!
Foss
-
Either one would me, I aint fussy.
Got the Hagon ready for tomorrow Foss?
-
I just like the Summerton 8/80, a georgous bit of kit, Eh ?
Yup, the Hagon's ready, dunno if I am !! I can still fit into me leathers !!, took the bike for a blast in the paddock, practice starts etc , I'd forgotten how much boondi it had, bloody thing near got away on me, front lifted on the change up, too many wire fences around here for that sort of stuff, it will be a lot better at Fairbairn on the Longtrack.

Hmmm... I reckon I have to take the camera out tomorrow and get a photo or two to post up here. ;D

Now I am nervous, Graeme,

Foss just to get a pic of you circulating is all I'm saying! Good on you for going for a few laps, I hope you have a ball and do it safely. Weather should be perfect for it.
-
Graeme, I'm havin' a ball already, what is the saying ? " The old warhorse sniffs the battle with delight"
For those of you who may not know me, here's a pic of the old girl ready for the off, and, I know, no front brake, they only slow ya down anyway !!
(http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab106/JAP454/Hagon2.jpg)
I built this in 1994, with the help of Barry Collyer, Spike L'Estrange and Kenny Carrat, in finding all the frame bits, the donk is a C model TT fitted with a later 47mm inlet valve head, Ivan Tighe 323 cam and rockers, 11.5 Wiseco std bore piston and 38mm mikuni on alky.
The main things that aren't kosher Sandracer are the alloy tank , rear wheel and seat. Oh yeah the oil tank, forgot about it , from Mr. Victa
I've done a heap of meetings on it at Goulburn, Sapphire and Surfair, it, and me, just really click on the 540 meter oval at Sapphire.
See Ya at Fairbairn on Satdy

That's pretty cool Foss. I don't think I've ever seen that one before. Look forward to seeing you both do a few laps, betcha she sounds good too!
-
Very naked, brutal and gorgeous ;) Mr Fossil. Cheers
-
Go for it Foss.
Dump the clutch, sweeping left, fast uphill left and then hard left.
Oh yeah, don't forget the gear change is on the wrong side for a slider or you'll get planted into the mound under the canteen, unless you've altered it over.
Have fun mate and photo's please Graeme.
-
I think I've got it wired, Steve, " Go fast, turn left, repeat " , isnt that it ??, Gunna be fun !!

You'll do it easy Al, just like riding a bike, you never forget.
I'm going waterskiing for the weekend, actually I'm going boat driving but Tom's gunna have a ball.
Sorry for the thread hijack, we're all adults though and we'll be over it tomorrow.
I think I've had a brainwave, I really think Foss's bike is the secret & complete formula for a thriving slider class?
Peter Campbell is working on something similar but more modern.
-
Foss,.......... drink some Mead my friend :DThat thing looks angry!!
-
