Hi Roy,
Thanks for the advice mate. I'll be fitting my racing in around my shifts, so I'm hoping to get to a few DP rounds next year as well as Thunderbikes. F250 sounds like a good series, and it would be good to see other NSR's out there, and a few more two strokes.
My old fella knows Tony Salt and he's a sound bloke. I'd definitely recommend TST.
Bike wise, I think the engine will be staying pretty much standard as there's a lot more to come from me yet. I think I might run open carbs next year though, and have the engine ported as you did. It would be nice to keep the reliability it's got at the moment.
I'll have to find a bike related pic of me for the web site I think. You're right though, I don't want to put people off!
