Have you tried Malc at Yorkshire engines on here?

bigfoot4616 - 3/5/14 at 08:40 AM

he's already looking out for one for me.

TimC - 3/5/14 at 11:40 AM

The other guy who may have on is Andy @ AB.

bigfoot4616 - 3/5/14 at 12:24 PM

was planning on giving him a ring on tuesday but thanks anyway.

I had another thought over the weekend - think Tim Gray swapped one out of James Walker's Phoenix over the winter - I have no idea what state it is in.

You could try Mike at RaceSpares on 07808476377 or Kev Stevenson who rebuilds bike engines (and shares a unit with Mike) on 07941315272. They're over near Ormskirk.

I've got my old engine sitting in my workshop... but I need to hang on to it in case I have an issue with the new onw before I go away next month.

Can he borrow it for a few weeks. I'm sure he's not going to thrash it round Knockhill or anything like that. No no no, nothing like that at all. I think he just needs it to go shopping with, as his daily driver's bust.

I'm still considering doing Knockhill. The JPSC Scottish contingent were trying to persuade me at weekend. I did say I would... but I was under the influence at the time. Apparently "Yeh'll be a Poofing Fook if yeh doon't" or something like that.

If you need to tick Knockhill off your list, this is the one to do. And if you've made a promise to a Scotsman... well, life won't be worth living if you fail to deliver! Perhaps you and Bigfoot can share a motor.


....back on topic.. R1 motor required.. sooooooon!

i'm going to be gutted if i don't make knockhill last year was so good.

andy bates is away until the 12th.

thanks for the other suggestions.

bigfoot4616 - 9/5/14 at 03:31 PM

thanks to adi, i'm just about to set of and pick up an engine from kev.

cheers.

Standard one?

The one he rebuilt for me (exBSB) is a monster. Tell him I've not broken it... yet.

bigfoot4616 - 9/5/14 at 08:47 PM

yes, standard.
he was just in the middle of giving it a refresh when i rung him the other day, new rings and bearing shells.

i might make knockhill after all.
