I reckon it would be a good idea to all get together and have our own rest home (with paddock and track facilities, maybe the whole of Mallory Park) and all go and live there and share the water and light. Can anyone think of other benefits since we would have no regs on our plans?
Of course there would be a modest bar :rotfl: :p :D :lol: :wave: :clap:

Wonder if I should get a traditional steel framed Nico Bakker walker, or maybe go for a more modern aluminum framed walker, also decisions on brakes steel or carbon disc’s?

PS! I volunteer to bar duty; plenty of experience here (on the other side of the bar though)!

Cheers Leif :drunk: :drunk:

Right. That's it all ready for the build, except the engine.

WANTED a Crescent or Konig engine, nothing above 850cc.

Fil2.8,

Yes, I see what you are saying about the track mods, but can we keep the extra run off at the hairpin please? That old trackside stuff was pretty damned solid as I remember!!

All the best.

Ray :wave:

I have a few GT750 motors so the trip to collect my pension would be more fun ;) A TV lounge with a widescreen and all of the videos ever made, night races back from the chip shop (situated in the old paddock)

Loads of old vans and transporters to mess about with until the early hours, a bucket of Swarfega next to the Kanga Pants and a rota to ride the MV. :lol: I want to fix Trotters Reliant if it's still there.
