Trick looking rearsets and nice wave rotor.

Thank you gentlemen.

Wow Juha, I just read the whole thread again, what happy memories.
I'm happy that sponsoring you and bringing a bit of English good luck was able to help you to the top.
Now let's see some real action on the longer wheelbase.

Took some time to find motivation after I closed my shop and got a real job

Aiming for the 8's next summer.

A bit of progress.

I've been trying to contact Beasley Composites about this tailpiece but they won't bother to answer me anything.
Not on facebook, no response to emails, nothing. I have the tank dummy from them I bought years ago and gonna put in good use now. Time to lose some weight from both the bike and me

I know exactly what that is like. I couldn't lift a wrench for about a year after getting out of the business. Sometimes..... if you want to end up hating something you love doing do it for a living.

Never had parts powder coated before but it was a good idea.

Leino · « **Reply #88 on:** November 01, 2019, 05:03:00 pm »

I lost my job last spring and that was about it.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #89 on:** November 06, 2019, 07:11:03 am »

Well go and get another one, you sure have all the talent, good luck Bro.

Good luck with your job search, I hope it is a better place you go to work for next. I have been through a couple of long employment times in my career, so I can understand some things associated with a job loss and for greater than 1 year... I hope you are not going to see anything that long...
Best wishes and luck in your search, work your contacts and friends and others you know to learn of and get a job

Third big block for a Suzuki engine and a new career for me

Leino · « **Reply #96 on:** January 25, 2022, 12:13:38 am »

I've been on a sick leave for almost two months now due to the good doctor taking away my drivers licence and I was told to do things I enjoy and feel that I have neglected.
So this old girl is on my list of things to finish, I ordered a new fuel tank from my friend who is a master in all things metal, welding, machining, you name it, he can do it.
New ignition waiting to be installed, engine is the same old 1500cc with Mike Rieck ported "GS 1150 head from hell", a little more compression with tighter squish and deeper valve pockets to help with the cam timing as it was a really tight fit last time, had to compromise.

Went to a psychologist yesterday for the first time in my life and he said I should race, so Mike and Sam have been right all along

It's great when a plan comes together.

Oh yes! Having the time of my life playing with all the stuff and bikes I have gathered through the years

If that sponsor deal we are working on actually happens... we are back in business of kicking some modern bike ass
