92 Blade hits the track
First time back on the track after 15 years layoff. The leathers have shrunk it seems! Great ebay buy for $1400 not going , two weeks ago! It goes now! Put a set of shortened MX bars on it by drilling the top triple clamp and fitting some mounts to it. Seems to have helium in the front tyre, as it lifts off the deck far too much! A bit more work to stop the clutch slipping and a set of braided lines to give the brakes a bit of bite and I think it will be a fairly cheap and potent racer.

Don't blame it on the leathers. I suggest you blame it and most other time-dependant issues on sunspot activity instead.

What circuit is that Phil?
This one is in the pits at Wanneroo 19 years ago ;-)

Awesome!
Best motorcycle circuit in Australia.
The video on their website is mine :-)

Track Info
The commentary was added later by them (Phil I think?).
