Hello chaps. Right, much as it pains me to say it, (and maybe its been said before!) the race bike project is rather floundering!
So I’m asking if anyone wants to pick up the pieces (heh! literally!) and continue development, fettling, and hopefully race it?
I’ve not quite put this as a For Sale, as I would somehow (not sure how this would work) like it to remain as a Club Project. I would probably favour an outright sale, and there are a few other feelers out with folk. However if there was interest in it as a club bike, given that a number of club members have “shares” in it (!) it would be nice to keep the project going. However, the baton must now be passed
I’ve ploughed a small fortune into it (well, a Scotsman’s fortune anyway), but now my van has gone, marriage happened (not that that is such a problem) and the new boiler has also happened (that is a bit more of a problem). Space is tight, and I have no more cash to spend on it just now. Meanwhile its taking up space...
All info (and how she is now)

Discuss? And if the thread sinks then I’ll maybe just Ebay it. But that would hurt, so I’d maybe just mothball it instead in my mums garage- a trackbike for my 40s!! She would be delighted.
Cheers for now, (and thanks for your help with it). By the way, if I sell it, I’ll tot up what TC members have shelled into it and give the same amount to Riders for Health (or other nominated charity- also discuss)
I also have a few books, tools, and other gubbins to return, will get round to this.
Yours in Shame!

No shame matey, you've achieved more than most of us would ever attempt. I doff my cap to you Sir for at least having a bloody good go at it. Now can I have my tenner back??
(only joking!! ;D)

No! Following the Yellow Peril's liquidation, its going to Riders For Health. You of all people Patrick should feel bad about taking motorcycles from the worlds poorest people!! After all, as I remember, you also suffered so that people can ride about on dirtbike 125s in the sun with no coppers for miles....
;D
