    Yes. I drag raced a road legal (not saying which road mind you! :) Suzuki X7. If you go to the Gallery tab next to the Home tab at the top of the page, there is a photo of a photo in the section Old and next generation.

    The bike was bought stock and put into 3 piles, engine, frame & wheels, & Junk!! The engine was re-bored to take TS125 1st over size pistons, to take it to 271cc, S&B air filters, Hy-tech competition reeds, 2 base gaskets & the head gasket was split into 5 sleeves and 2 replaced, 102.5main jets, & modified Micron expansion chambers.

    The seat was off a TZ350 race bike with home made padding! Rear light was from an original Triumph Tiger. Micron ace bars. KH400 clocks, & head lights were a pair of Halford spot/fog lights with 120w high beam/80w low beam. It also had a Kawasaki 7 point steering damper just to be sensible!

    I think that was it!! It ran 12.96 at Long Marston (Avon Parkway)

    I also had a series of smaller learner bikes (RS100, GP100, briefly a AP100 & Ive even got a YB100 in the garage waiting to be used as a donor bike for an off road buggy project that I WILL get round to one day!! : ... in theory!)

    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    If you look I split up the specific groups by using a comma. My maths isnt that bad... and Ive got an O level to prove it!

    I know, I just can't resist winding you up - after all I've agreed with you twice this month so I need to redress the balance ;D
