KR-1S.co.uk Forum

Paul Wilshaw, pub-owner and two-stroke nut is hoping to get a regular meeting going at his place. First one is on Sunday 2nd September. 12pm till 7pm, food available.

All strokers will be made very welcome, please give him your support if you can. Long way for me but if the first one is a success I'll chuck a couple of bikes in a van for the next one. =D>

Sawbridge road, Grandborough, Warwickshire CV23 8DN. For further details contact Paul on 01788 810306.

Best cover your pushbike in WD40 before you set off then, make sure it doesn't rust...

oh bugger...

You never said the shoulder of mutton was a boat

Anybody else going or are the only people off the KR forum going to be Team Sparrow (though we do have a home advantage here as I can cycle and get pissed )

oi... we've dried out now and need team green to turn up...else its going to turn into a yamaha tribute day

ps i may have a little h*nda that may give (the fastest 250) a fright

I am intrigued a h***a faster than a green thing..... bring it on

So far the Blue corner Suzuki (and their Italian cousins) have had a pop at us and failed on race tuned machinery- albeit I think we were lucky as both Colin and Steve had problems. Suzi did claim the fastest road bike crown at Brunters - Craig Millners immac RGV did 135.summit mph.

After Bonneville I think that the Green camp can claim the fastest road bike crown from Craig M (RGV250). Craig's was the fastest road legal 250 at Bruntingthorpe though it had plenty of aftermarket stuff on - at Bonny we ran a stock spec bike and went nearly 2mph faster (the faster bit is over a full mile - not peak speed as at Brunters - I reckon peak at Bonny might have been 2 to 3mph higher as revs went up and down a bit over the mile as wind and salt conditions varied). The Bonny speed is a harder target measure than the Brunters peak.

May have a ride over tomorrow and have a pint (on a push bike)

The 350 production record is held by a Yam at 128mph. I think 350 Yam that was at Bonny this time couldn't get over 118mph.

A 350 Yam powered streamliner went 195mph - took Don Vesco's old record.

I turned up with an expansion chamber

Flutes KR/RGV hybrid is a very tasty bit of kit

I saw 2 KR's + Flutes - told theer were more earlier.

A few RGV, plenty of RD three H1 and H2 couple of X7 and an X5. reckon there must have been about 60 ring-a-dings

Looked like a good turn out, with a nice mix of bikes.



Plenty more photos here

Is that Garys KR1S , the green black one with white wheels and gold fork legs? Looks like a nice selection of bikes there. Any plans for another meet? Might try and make the effort next time.

yes i went along - even though i didn't know anyone

a local member of one of the rd forums had made a post about
a run down so wen't for a ride down (fred with v.nice yellow rz-1)

got to say photos don't do flutes bike justice - sorry to hear aboutyour
blow-up

was a good run out - was very surprised by an old 250 AC's speed - very
nippy

had a headache when i got home - think it was the fumes and noise!

Cheers Mate Was a good afternoon i thought and was good to see another couple of KRs in the car park
The ride home was a little frantic and the Kr1 blew at about 125 just snagged a ring on the front of the exhaust port.

It,s all fixed now and run in ready for the cadwell burn up
