After 5 years off I cant wait any longer for the race team to get its bum into gear so its back to solos for now, I raced various bikes in PCRA for 7 years & another 4 years racing sidecars with SDG Racing so it was an easy choice to go back to what I know & race a period bike. Can anyone guess what bike? SOHC heaven! 8)

Yes the RD or LC choice was close but way too far over budget to pick up a good one & prep before next season.

How about I get the project finished before anybody puts their hand up, currently waiting for parts from OS but with a spare motor handy on the bench I can work on building the first of two race engines 8)
