General Discussion / NZ Woodville MXGP live on Ctas starting in about an hour at 10am here.

« on: January 30, 2021, 07:20:43 am »

Just a link or two incase you want a look see. Live today & tomorrow. Son is on one camera. Don't fancy that in the heat of the day. Been running for 60 years this year. Think i raced from the second or third year when the internationals arrived from UK & Switzerland & Germany. I started on a 350 AJS road bike with knobbly rear tire but think i still had the road front tire lol. Took the muffler off & the rear guard off at the hinge halfway up. Then promptly broke the front downtube at the steering head. It's gone from strength to strength through that time. It's just a normal dairy farm during the year but is transformed with heavy machinery now days at this time every year. I guess internationals will be missing due to travel restrictions. Hope the links work or click the bottom one to work your way through.

General Discussion / Eric & Douglas.

« on: August 24, 2019, 06:06:58 pm »

Anyone old enough to remember Eric & Douglas in either the Green Horror mag or the other one. Won't mention "Cream In Your Coffee Madam" or "Telecum" coz it was rood wasn't it. Just having a laugh & thought google could find it but got google stumped--so doesn't know everything. Man we used to fight over who got the mag first at work at smoko time as the boss got all those & the English M/cycle news think it was. Smoke got extended on those days haha.

General Discussion / NZ Superbikes plus all classes are live on Ctas today & tomorrow.

« on: March 30, 2019, 09:47:14 am »

Round 4 i think it is, of our national champs for anyone interested, at our local Manfeild Track in Feilding north island nz. [yes Feilding is spelt that way lol] Filming today isn't till 1pm but much earlier tomorrow. Lap times have been showing from early on. Chat room down bottom left by memory. Have son manning a camera showing the middle straight but other cameras are remote except Grant [Ctas] who sits up on the roof with a truck load of gear & his camera controlling & i suppose mixing it [beyond me lol]. He [Grant Collingwood] is live streaming the Jet Sprints as well this weekend so was busy yesterday setting up in both places an hour apart in Whanganui. Must have someone doing the Filming for him there so hope it all works out. Lucky to have all this free to watch albeit with the very occasional hiccups at which he'll be tearing his hair out to sort. Link below, but if it doesn't work just google Ctas. Chatroom bottom left.

Yamaha / just trying photobucket to see if it works, not realy knowing what i'm doing.

not doing it right as think only a link will arrive to click--which is better than nothing.

Don't ask, looking at pic think i was compressing an xt125 mono to get the top clip out. Did drill the base on an angle to insert a valve but main problem was the gas had got past the gas piston Oring & mixed with the oil turning it into a pogo. Actualy i think it ended up a compromise as long after the gas had got past a stuff tin cup piston Oring courtesy of a scuffed internal bore from the cheap arse gas piston--i found the flap that stops dirt heading up forward from the back wheel had got inverted [for many years probably] so was folded forward & it wore through the weld on the shock body till it leaked oil. Hairline crack in the weld from year of polishing by the flap. Piss me off that did, but i'd assembled it as a straight oil shock, full to the top minus the rod displacement & worked almost perfect--perfect for the farm bike anyway. So no gas & can only feel the piston above the oil if ya lift it up by the tail a couple of time quickly but was ok riding it--So, just gave it a scratch & soldered it without dismantling, well put it in the vice tilted the other way to 'just' clear the oil away from that end., worked well. So, everything you wanted to know but too afraid to ask--or glad you hadn't.

For Sale / Yamaha CS3E parts for a 200 twin if anyone remembers them!!. Cylinders & Heads.

« on: July 01, 2018, 06:54:50 pm »

Have a pair of cylinders & heads on standard bore size. Will put them on TradeMe soon & put a link up here. Ok not vmx but still old Yamaha. These were before reed valve arrived on Yamahas. They have the rear transfers just as slots in the side of the liner but they still went well despite that. Great days those & remember assembling these models new & the heading of around town to give it a run [damn good thrashing lol], never went past 1/3 throttle Boss, as you instructed.

« on: June 30, 2018, 09:03:00 pm »

Pair of crank wheels as seen. Few marks here & there & lead bungs are loose. Taper & keyway are good. Case in the pic doesn't go with it at the mo, so just the wheels.

For Sale / YZ465 piston & ring etc plus selector drum, star & roller arm.

« on: June 30, 2018, 08:57:09 pm »

Have a couple of YZ465 bits on TradeMe NZ if anyone is interested. Might need them if my overpriced IT250K/YZ465H combo doesn't sell.
Piston & rings 4th over. plus gearbox selector drum. Came with a gear cluster off ebay many year ago & used the cluster in my 4 speed 490K. Actually that's a point--how'd i end up with this left over. Better have a think. Probably what happened was the custer came with drum only so had to get selectors that came with a drum, hence left over. Sounds convincing!!.
