I'm of the firm opinion that Teutchenthal is a track i would be happy to see go away if some other German track can host the German GP.

Valin career first mx 2 gp win!

Nice to see Febvre back in the mix.

Lotte Van Drunen had a very scary prang over the Big Jump in the first lap of the second Moto Mid Air collision. She was the only one going down, being the 'hitter', but is just circulating at near the rear at the moment. Bugger, 'Cuzzie Sis' Duncan just went down.

Sooo let’s keep up with the progress, as today I did receive some goods. A Wiseco crankshaft, all the engine bearings, transmision included and all the seals. Also I did and order to the Suzuki dealer in form of bolts and shafts. I also got an ASV factory clutch perch with the lever from my good friend and former GP rider Garcia Vico. The plan is to start with the buildup of the engine over the weekend. I’ll be cerakoting a few parts during the week as well in order to finish the engine or at least the bottom end...

So many conversions f**k it up, through, mostly, too high a CS center positioning. Creating so much 'Squat', and suspension interference. And, far to many 'convertists' build for the ancillaries, not the correct engine placement. In that picture, though, not a perfect, side on view, the CS center that the engine is in, looks to be a bit High. The Barrel / Head does look (very)...

Sooo made a bit of progress over the last two days, went to pick up the engine and a few parts more. First of all I put the engine on the frame to take some measurements and sketch a few things to prepare all the necessary brackets for the engine. I will post everything once I’ve got it done. The tab for the brake pedal soring needs to be removed, along with the casting mark on the right side of the swing arm as it is close to the engune case. The engine is already open in order to speed...

View from the office yesterday

We’re about a week away.

So many interesting details on that bike, like the aluminium frame braces between lower suspension link and the swingarm...
