General Discussion / Bead blaster - Northern Sydney

« on: September 22, 2014, 03:08:50 pm »

Hi Guys,
I am struggling to find a bead/sand blaster in Northern Sydney that doesn't want me to fund a new Porsche for his collection...

Got quoted $150.00 per hour for blasting - I could be wrong - but I reckon that is excessive. The blasting machinery isn't high tech or overly expensive, and the operator doesn't require a PhD...

Any leads or recommendations would be appreciated.

I just need a simple steel frame stripped...

Cheers,

General Discussion / Do you really get what you pay for...?

So we have MotoGP in dire financial peril [along with most other international series].

Today Honda released its 'Production Racer' which it claims, with Stoner on board, is only 0.3 - 0.17 seconds a lap slower than the Factory Bike that it spends $30,000,000.00 per year on. Talk about value for money.

Is it any wonder that MotoGP is going down the toilet. Instead of wasting millions chasing that last 0.3 seconds, how about the teams having enough capital to HIRE the BEST riders [not those with the biggest sponsors].

Let's see some real depth in the class and get back to having MotoGP as the Premier Class.

General Discussion / A CRF/KTM hybrid 201lb 250cc Two-Stroke motocrosser

« on: November 01, 2012, 08:18:24 am »

Hey Guys,
Don't you wish that the factories would make something like this...









"I just wanted to share this amazing project with all of the two stroke fans out there. We just finished this factory level 2 stroke build after a year and a half of R&D, testing, changes, etc. The end result is amazing and we ended up with a 53hp rocketship that weighs 15 lbs less than the AMA minimum weight limit for that class! 201 lbs, ready to ride with an empty tank. We used a Varner Motorsports modified KTM 250 sx powerplant in a 2011 Honda 450 frame with production based Showa suspension including a SFF Showa fork, modified, valved and set up by MB1 Suspension. The entire engine cradle and billet engine mounts are hand fabricated and machined to accommodate the KTM powerplant. Racetech Titanium was instrumental in helping bring the weight down with all of their titanium fasteners, axles, brake piston and pivot hardware. The bike also utilizes many one-off titanium or alloy parts and heavily modified OEM parts as well. DLC coatings were utilized in many critical areas including the shock shaft, brake hardware and pins, brake pistons, select transmission parts, titanium linkage pivot bushings, and swingarm pivot bolt to name a few. It took over 500 hours of trial and error, testing, changes, extensive mods and many hours of scratching our heads to get it perfect but I feel this is the most refined 2 stroke conversion build anyone has ever done. "

General Discussion / I know he is a youngster... but this is impressive

« on: October 22, 2012, 11:08:21 am »

Hey Guys,
I know this is a vintage motocross forum, but check out this image of Ryan Dungey changing gear mid-air over the big jump at the Monster Energy Cup.



Dungey had a coming together with with a Tuff-Block early in the race and bent his shift lever... but instead of giving up he managed to complete the race and finish 3rd while changing gear with his hand... sometimes midair...

Now that is what I call determination [and he doesn't even sport a tatoo or piercing  ], almost as good as Carla chugging a beer at Namur!!!
