If you stop this dead on 5:37 youll be on the line for the double artic milk tanker , for the dirt road on the right there .
Whilst Im pillion on the Pre Unit Bonne with 4:10 19 TT100s , with a wideline frame on my right shoulder , gripped on my palm .
As we went between the post on the right there , on the grass. As the tanker took the racing line for the right .

Dont look back .


Vague resemblance to this , with the big 56 pipes , cut to Boyer spec with the long HD Wassel Mega's , 750 valves & world leading
port job with 1 5/32 monoblocks . over 80 the TLS just slows you , but decent linings and set up wouldnt have hurted . :(
pulling up from way fast was saucer eyed . Did a 14.5 quater later when completely clapped out . So maybe a 12.5 fairly Std. ;)
Jap parts always fell off . So only non O E M was the mufflers . Tho Wassel made O. E. M. ones . Would run out past 8.000 but
only used maybe 7.000 there . Probly 6.5oo . Wasnt in a hurry , just not wasting time . Mightve cut a minute off if I opened it up .

He halted and perhaps looked for the grease spot, up the gravel a way . We just went straight and on the grass just on the left there .
about 20 , bout 50 at the post . The run through the 'S' cruiseing , is about 60 . Thought the frame wouldve caught on the trailer side .

You would have thought the PILOT wouldve seen a MILK TANKER up ahead . Being a Farmer and all .Mustve been day dreaming .
Youd be in the milk tanker cab with the camera there , then. We were cruising through the other way from Matakana with a Bare Wideline.


Dont look back .


As you can see . but about a 1980 version . :rolleyes:
Such is Life ,

So as not to disturb the inhabitants , going quitely till 2:06 from the corner three miles or so back of the GTO Galant that does it in 11:00 .
We opened it up and ran the bends . On the trigonics its usual to run the bends on a steady radius , then push up . And over if required .
8:06 there read 8 min. as I had a watch that worked and coincidently the second hand ran across the top at each . So 5 odd , there to there .
Just rideing firmly & steadilly . On a quite day . A few less drives & ouses in the day & the one lane bridge approach was deadlier & blind .

You can see their lines are sometimes untidy . And the musics atrocious . So delette sound or use real music .



Then theres the David Brown Triumph 111.11 story . alf unsealed . 72 T150 . Was isolated then othern the olidays . Long Hitch afoot ,
New every bump , camber , run off & bend intimately . Having ' walked the circuit ' many a time , all hours & weathers .
Not the place it used to be , unfortunately .
No Suburban Neurosous or Rivallry Snobery . The Causway back a way was new . Good for jetting per the Rover Manual & plug chops .
If a trifle bumpy .
A kydney belt M-X thing wouldve helped no end .

Dont look back .


Youd have to wonder how this'd go with a six speed ( VI ;) ) - T120VI ! , dry clutch , fuel injection & a computor for Ign & fuel .
Wouldnt need a electric foot then ! .

SEEING the Two Bearing P-86 crank was good for 10.000 rpm plus , And Aldanas said to of run betteran , Plus the T 100 & T 150 will . push rods .
but 8-500's not entirely unrealistic , with the earlier mufflers .

You wouldve thought this 'd be a better bet to copy than the 1200 ? .
