Welcome to the Team wildcard blog. Once again, I am sorry
for the delay in updating this blog, I find this a lot harder to do than
working on the bike for some reason!
Anyway, it is now mid April and we have both finished
building the bikes that are going to Bonneville this year and have been testing
the bikes to iron out any problems. I have decided to gear the T120 up again,
so it is now running 22/47 final drive. I have fitted a new clutch and need to
test the bike again to ensure it can pull the new gearing.
Today I discovered that both petrol taps are leaking slightly,
and I will be addressing this later.
THE T120 BONNEVILLE READY FOR FINAL TESTING.
Phil has been busy setting up the 350 to be able to run in
the fuel class. This entails having a fuel shut off on the handlebars, and to
do this he needed to fit a battery and an electric shut off valve. This has now
been done.
Last week I completed registration with Bonneville Speed
Trials, and we have been sent our tickets and gate passes, so we are another
step closer to going!
We are testing this coming Wednesday 1st May and
as long as everything goes well then I have to put the bike away and get ready
for my summer season working away, so fingers crossed.
I will try and do another blog before too long! Cheers,
Miki.
