Hi Everyone,

Chippy, went through the local wreckers today and bought a RL insulator block, the mounting holes are 5mm closer together, this will work if you can't find the correct part for your KT.

Mark K and Chippy, My little blue beasty TY CHALLENGE bike is now out of the museum, dusted off and cobwebs removed ready for practice, look forward to competing on it again!

So what bike is Chippy riding then? Is it going to be a TY175-fest or what?

David, I am thinking it is going to be a Little Beasty Fest!

Maybe even one of these?

Hi Everyone,

TY CHALLENGE time!
IMGP5908.JPG
These are still a work in progress, will have them ready to take this weekend. One pair of TY pegs are spoken for, there will be two other TY pairs available, one pair to suit a TL125 and even a pair for a KT!

Don't you just love a picture of a basket full of bits of bike!

I've owned a pair of "Greg's Pegs" for going on a couple of years now and in terms of improved feel and confidence, particularly for the small price, they have been the best investment I've made on my bike. (Even better than my nice comfy gaffer tape seat)

Greg, I couldn't help but notice the picture.... Pretty blue isn't it?

My little orange beasty is sitting in the shed with its rear end scattered randomly all over the floor. Its not as serious as it sounds though. I've just been informed that all the bits I need for the rear swingarm bush replacement job are now waiting for collection at my local Yamaha shop. I can't see any reason why I won't be ready for the weekend.

Hi Everyone,

What a great TY Challenge, the most TY's ever, the Blue line was particularly Challenging, full credit to the organisers and section setters.

Hi Everyone,

Have been working on the KT frame, as you can see in the photo, kind of resembles a Coffs Harbour landmark.

Stage 1 was to straighten the rear hoop to get it level, will be pushing the rear hoop back on centre next.

How did the frame get that shape? Did you reverse into something? You know you're not really supposed to go backwards on these things. :mrgreen: #-o

Looks like there is a "5" in there somewhere. HA!
Don't let competition get in the way of having fun.
