Squirrelman speaks the truth; check the cam lobes and rocker arms for wear before you go too far. Personally I would encourage a sympathetic...
The best justifcation for Multiple Bike Disease that I have heard!
Sadly, the Fun Police have been at work all over NZ; that road is now (officially) 80km/hr. Back in the day, my two lunatic friends regularly...
I still ride occasionally with the guy in the white shirt on the right, but he wears a larger size now, and runs a Z-H2 for S&G. The mad redhead...
You betcha! I surprised quite a few people (including myself) with this one; I hounded a couple of mates on ZX-10s through the fabulous...
This is the closest that I ever got to that illustrious machine. At least the colours were correct![ATTACH]
Delinking is an interesting topic and you are right, will make for some occasionally fiery debate. In the absence of any linking inputs, the front...
The inside of your airbox looks pretty oily; if the crankcase oil level is too high you will get lots more blowing out of the breather and into...

I hope everyone is enjoying the series of podcast videos released every Thursday by Cycle World magazine. The legendary Kevin Cameron waxes...
Just fit a kick-starter. Harden up, man!
To me that cetainly sounds like it is coming solely from the gear drives for the cams. These use a split/sprung design that is intended to take up...
Yes; pretty sure the top speed was "Made in Japan" on that gauge... Someone described New Zealand as having the population of one average sized...
Yes I was very fond of the VTR engine, such a relaxed power unit and easy-going at any sensible speed. The ride position for the upper body was...
My onboards don't sound great either; I discovered my camera had some buttons that were vibrating against their perspex case. Here's one of my...
Gear driven cams for the win! 5th gen heading over the hill near Kawakawa Bay. Another formerly 100km/hr road that the safety nazis have decreed...
