[rod185651]

Both my projects are post 1995 and I'll be fucked if I'm going to build something by someone else's guide lines, so that counts me out

What ^ said.

I reckon if you don't have a rethink of the rules to get rid of the capacity and age limits, you'll be judging a field of 2...maybe 1 if you don't turn up.

[Large]

Fuckit, I wasn't going to say anything but...

(imho) I don't reckon NFR should be a competitive type event. A couple of trophys are fine- best/worst/hardluck etc, but if we all have to do a project/homework before we turn up it will lose it's charm pretty quick.

Apart from that, Jim'll need a bigger van to pick up all the old shitters breaking down everywhere.

NFR as it stands is/was a fucking enjoyable weekend. Maybe a bit more effort could be put in to get the Mehicoons to come up, but apart from that it's pretty close to being perfect.

[Fight_fan]

Im not worried about a little friendly bike build off ruining the atmosphere. I think those who cant enter due to whatever reason wont give a shit, mainly coz whatever they are riding is probably newer, faster & comfier anyways... I think u will struggle for entrants if u dnt raise the capacity to at least 750cc tho.

[Weaselman]

we were just hoping it would provide a challenge to anyone who was thinking of building something over the next few months

[Weaselman]

there changed the rules

[Butters]

is this taking place next november? I'd definitly be up for this.

[Weaselman]

yup the next NFR

[Large]

Now we're talking.

Sorry mate/s.

With all the silverware on offer, I thought you were changing the whole reason for the NFR.

After reviewing the original idea, I've come to the conclusion it's not such a bad idea.

The judging team sounds super dodgy/insular and prone to cronyism tho'. Maybe Lucy could be the final judge of what's acceptable

[Chase]

That's better :D...

Now just need cash and some where to put the new project... Anyone wanna buy a slightly used GSXR1100?

[Weaselman]

yeah was never my intention to change anything it just sounded like a laugh

Maybe you should ad "all entrants need to complete 5 laps of Wakefield Park on the trip down to confirm who is really fastest without invoking chance, in the form of cops/gravel and 4WDs"

That's way outa my way.....

[TIMTAMS]

Fuck yeah lucy for the the judge FTMFW

Hmmmmmm what can i build that still does wheelies and 280+kmh

[nick76]

5 Laps of Wakefield,and a drag race down whatever little airport it was we went past?????

[Gitzy]

Can I enter my current bike, as I'm far from finished.. I plan to have more parts\bodywork and paint etc by next November, or do I have to start again with a new project??
I was kind of hoping to be in running for Best Streetfighter or best New School??

Will there be a New School.. cos if you have say a slabby you'd be in the running for Best Fighter or Old School..

But newer bikes would only qualify for Best Fighter..

Biggest POS is kinda an insult award..

My 2 cents..

[Jockney Rebel]

see what you started weazel and you werent even pissed ...lol ;;ok boys and girls i have asheet of paper and a fucked front end so far lol


but i reckon im in with a chance of the walker trophy lol

[Redmohawk]

Well Bunny is in a million and one bits , So I'm going for it ! Aiming high being a mexican so looking for biggest POS trophy !

[mattymagoo22]

Does the 'Most obnoxious' apply to bikes or people? Just checking if i'm in with a chance....

[8D]

[Weaselman]

Youd never ride a honda rod and mat the pos award is for the... Best... Rat fighter thats what im after

[rod185651]

Well lets call it Best Rat fighter then, guys nothing has changed, basically all it is Weasel has decided to add some more trophies, all catergories will be voted on by ballott as per this year. If you turn up on your R1 Todd and I think it is the best fighter etc I will vote for it. If anyone is going to deny someone recognition of their hard work and workmanship purely because it was started before a certain date they don't belong at the NFR. To be honest the whole thing is just one big wank. If it is not broken, don't try to fix it.

So to put it simply, as far as I'm concerned nothing is going to change for all you guys who have already got fighters, you have every right to consider it eligable for a trophy at next years NFR.

[rod185651]

While I'm on the Subject the NFR stands for Nobody's Fools Run, and I chose that name for a reason. It will always be simply about a group of mates catching up having some beers, showing off their bikes and doing some decent riding.
It will always be at Cooma.
it will always be held on the week end after the snowy run in November.
If you want to have something else than what the NFR has to offer choose a destination, and a date and post it up in the ride section but don't try to turn the NFR into a circus.

[Gitzy]

Fckn A... and looking forward to many many more.. Not 1 complaint about the whole weekend and hope they all flow as easy and fun for the future NFR's

[crazymofo]

hmmm... might have to begin a new project bike for this.... i'll see what stones i can overturn and see what floats to the surface....so its not longer budget or capacity orientated?

cheers.joe.

[RevHead]

I think my mrs is going to kill me. That's just round the corner from me. Not so keen on the shaft drive, but I'm sure I could do something interesting with it...

[Chase]

Happy to help SZ ;)

[zedsled]

Fuck it, i'm in. I have been thinking about another project, as i only have two on the go atm. Purchased donor bike this morning. Something old and fast!!

[Gix11]

That's so like you Jase. Don't say a word for ages and then when something that involves you building YET ANOTHER bike pops up, you're back in the game!

By the way, email me your current address mate, I still have these photos of your Zed from the ASF Calendar on a disc waiting to go! (Sorry mate, it's only been 2 years....). Same goes for you Hillsy.

[Weaselman]

Im chasing one of those GS's chase

[zedsled]

Hey Si, yea mate been out of the seen for a bit, you know changing jobs, 3 teenage kids, bills, blah blah blah. Finished the gs1000 off(finally got the turbo sorted) and have Been using that as my everyday ride and the z and Kat got kind of forgotten. But I dragged the covers of them on the weekend and they are amazingly close to beeing finished, And started wondering/ thinking of an excuse to start another project. so with renewed fighter enthusiasm I jumped on the site to see what had been happening, ended up here on this thread. I Put the feelers out for project bike, bought one within 3 hours, getting delivered tommorrow. Absolute basket case, totally dismantled, including engine, turning up in a big wooden box. I think i'll call it Karma.

[Redmohawk]

550

[ozzy1100]

is it the h2 750 fuck that would be hot been a few in streetfighter over the yrs

[zedsled]

Yea ozz, 1973 h2 750. Just got dropped off thanks to steve at metropolitan motorcycles in sydney who not only sold it to me for a good price, he then put it on his ute and drove up to brisbane and delivered it. Hows that for service!! Anyway, im thinking cafe/fighter. let me get it unpacked and i'll start my build thread

[zedsled]

Hey Brendan, no mate havent got any photos of the gs, that would mean i would have to clean it. hasn't really changed much since you last saw it, it just runs a lot smoother now

[Redmohawk]

Well it seems you gave me to good a time at this NFR and now I seem to be building a mini 7/11 using a gsxr400 with a rf600 stuffed into the frame , motor in the shed with some dust on it frame in melbourne with my name on it. Just got to get down there give it a looking at and drag it home. Where its going to be built is a good question shed is stacked to the point of stuff falling out now.
