no a laptop, when i gave up with photobucket i tried another photo hosting thing but it didn`t agree with my computer, so now i can`t put pics on, i tried the  attachment thing below the topic text box but that won`t work  for me, i`m not brilliant with these things.

thanks Ian, but bill has already done it for me..

I don`t know much about jap 2 smokes but i think they have a bit more hp than a gn,  there was a honda nsr mc16 that was 3.51 seconds faster and a yamaha tz250 that was  0.15 seconds faster,  a very nice yellow  sr/xt 500 special got a best time 4.13 quicker, the mdmc website has some photos on, lots of thumpers,    here if link works..

Aye Rufus, thank you for posting the link. Good to see Bill and Maggie Tuer out in the Moggie and a goodly variety of different bits of kit.

My regards, Bill

Yes some nice machines, the second photo of no 87  (Eigenbau) was taken just before he came to grief i think, it`s very powerful and quick, the FTD went to no  19, 640cc es2 with the blue frame

Aye Rufus, those pushrod motors can be made to produce a lot of grunt, with a whole lot of experience and careful assembly. The Wal Phillips 'injector' must of been doing it's job!  ;)

If these are your sort of bits of kit then I think that you will enjoy this man's website: Pushrod_Performance

I suspect Ian may be off to see him with that ES2 of his, nudge and a wink.  ;)

My regards, Bill

Looks like an enjoyable way to spend the day for both the competitors and spectators. Nice to see a big variety of machinery at an event these days - I like the look of Honda 250RS if that's what it is!

Found some more photos on one of the Kawasaki W650 forums - hope the link works
