There are 2 of us coming across next year. We did not make last year purely because we did not get the motorcycle set-up in time. My delightful aunt made a tin (possibly a drum) full of ANZAC biscuits for the intended journey. (The Lake from Perth is a long drive, so there was a lot of baking going on) Fortunately they were not wasted and provided adequate nourishment over the winter to get the bike ready.
We are ready!
We dyno’d the T500 last week and are happy with the initial set-up to bring across in late Feb. Its making power and running reliably. Its now gong to be a lazy summer.
A bit about us - Muzza (or Dr Von Cobra) has been racing T500’s since they were new (that's a awhile ago) and in that time collected a few spare parts. He is known in the T500 world for knowing a lot about T500’s. Rather than seeing good parts rust I persuaded him to instead bring them to the salt. My role has been to put the bits together, port some ports, glue some pipes, weld up some tanks and pilot the motorcycle. No massive budget or big expectations, more about using what we have got on hand to go fast.
Here is the first dyno run
