Riverside Furniture Jurby Stages

[kexwalker]

Well the engine was finished off in time, just, after the drama on the Manx National which turned out to be nothing more than the oil pressure switch throwing the oil out. Finally started her up on Friday dinner time and the event started Saturday morning, already missed scrotting so had to do it on the morning, so a lap of the TT course and an oil change was all the running in the engine got!

Seeded at number 4 was a bit of a shock but we were 3rd last year so maybe not that far out but the old girl bit look a little out place in with Evos and Cossies. Looked even more out of place after a few drama with some of the other crew and we ended up run second on the road Only short stages at Jurby but normally a good laugh and after some mistakes from a few of the leading crews, including Smiler only doing 2 laps on the big stage when he should have done 3, we end up with 3rd over all which has helped are championship no end

Just one thing that i was a little worried about, but to be honest i didnt notice it when driving but having seen the pictures its making me wonder a bit, is the rear wheel lift not worried about the front wheel lift, what do you guys think?

Excellent result.

10/10 for the tyre wear saving technique, too.

Thanks guys. If only it did save on tyre wear, knackered 4 good tyres

Run a front anti-roll bar, just standard and nothing on the rear. Im not sure if the picture is a little misleading now Im looking at. We had been braking from over 100 to maybe 40ish so a big chuck at the corner i guess may result in a 'cocking leg'

well done kex , glad the motor wasnt too sick
i think the rear is lifting because you've forgot to put some metal back on rear end

Here is an old photo of me and my brother going anti-clockwise around Lodge at Oulton Park on two wheels, December 1st 1989

Proper racing slicks were allowed then and gripped like hell
