Off With Your Head

Hi folks, just a bit of an update on the ER6 Supertwin for you. The cylinder head has now been removed from the bike to allow the cams to be taken out and sent to be reground. Colin at Road and Race Developments (http://www.roadandracedevelopments.co.uk/) is working to get good power out of the engine along with developing many other parts for the ER, so if you are building a Supertwin of Minitwin yourself give him a call on 07843 557374 and he will be able to sort you out. The next job will be to port and flow the head. Once this has been done the motor will be taken out completely, the rods polished along with a few more internal mods prior to reassembly. Whilst the engine is out of the bike the frame will be sent off for powder coating and the swingarm sent for paint stripping to give it that 'works' look. More updates to follow soon!

2012 - What to do ?

Unfortunately we have received some bad news in the last week, which is that 3,000 employees are to be made redundant from BAE Systems. Even worse for us at the Brough site is that they are to end manufacturing here with the loss of 899 jobs. As you will appreciate this came as a bit of a shock when it looked like there were orders in offing for the Hawk Aircraft which is manufactured at Brough. Having been here for 21 years since leaving school, it will be a massive upheaval for me. So it looks like I will have to start the new year on the look out for a new job. If anybody has any ideas or knows of any opportunities please drop me a line at hutch7777@hotmail.co.uk, anything considered!
Back to the racing as you will appreciate it is very difficult for me to commit to anything at this time but again if anyone has an opportunity please drop me a line. As most of you will know I am open to riding any type of bike anywhere!
I will continue to complete our ER6 Supertwin over the next few weeks and if anybody would like to help us run that for the season next year then again please drop me a line.
Thanks
Hutch

Seats Units and more Seat Units

Would you like a seat unit sir? Our friend Graham Jones sorted us out with some seat units for the Kawasaki ER6 Supertwin. These look like the Moto2 bikes rear ends so will really look the business. Once the final touches have been done to the subframe they will be available as a kit with the subframe and seat unit from Colin at Road and Race Developments. A good option if you are thinking of 'Supertwinning' you ER?
