Same 911, different camera
Quote from youtube: "Simply stunning driving. Slingshot loose through one of the most infamous sections in motorsport. Balls the size of planets."
911 racing, as it should be...
Amazing driver in a classic 911, this guy handles it so well. It almost looks like the car is in a constant drift... Also mind the double clutching!
Faro-basso racing
Long term project.
Last year me and a friend of mine bought us a KR1-s. It has 7000km on the speedo and looks stunning. The only problem is that it didn't run. The engine should have been revised but I have my doubts regarding the skills of the previous owner... The barrels are worn so we sent them to a barrel-revise-company. Unfortunately some mistakes by this stupid company were made, so it took quite a while before we were able to go further with the project. This week the barrels will arrive so we can finally build up the engine...
For people who don't know the KR1-s
The KR1-s replaced the earlier KR1, it was the direct competitor of the Suzuki RGV250. Because of the stunning specifications of this bike, 55BHP at 11.000rpm, 130kg's dry weight, a topspeed of 210km/h and good brakes. It was perfect for racing..! People say it was the nearest you could get to a race bike for the road. The only minor disadvantage was, because of its racy performances, maintenance and handling with care was very important. Bad maintenance and no good warming up meant braking down quite easily...
The KR1-s hasn't been sold a lot and if sold, it was most times raced at the circuit, because of these factors, few KR1-s are left, especially in Holland it's very hard to find a good one. Also good spareparts are hard to find...



Ow and I forgot to mention, in times of "global warming", two stroke road bikes will become very rare in the future...

Ex-bike
Wanted to share this with you, it's me at the age of 18, young and wild, racing on my CB350f from 1974. I bought the CB before I even had my driving license. I did a minor rebuild: changed the steering and backseat, put an overhauled and "big" bore 400cc engine in, other blinkers etc. It's a crappy video, but you'll get the idea.
I still regret for having it sold...

Here's a great picture of two official vespa pilots. The right bloke is sitting at a wonderful Vespa Sei Giorni...

The GS was made for racing...
Awesome pictures of two guys racing a GS, you can almost smell the gasses and feel the wind in your face... Waiting to pull the clutch to shift to next gear...

Watching what's in front off you thru the small gap between the handlebar and the legshield... The gearselector in fourth gear, how fast can you go?
