Not another fucking newbie!
G'day chaps (& chapettes), been lurking for a week or so & decided it was time to post something. I'm building an '82 1100 Katana (amongst others - 12 bikes in total & yes I'm taking something for it!
) & my mate Shane is sourcing bits for his '88 Gixer 7/11 project. We thought we were the only ones in OZ who knew what a SF was, now we've discovered this group we feel less like motorcyclings social outcasts, it's nice to be in such poor company! Judging by his posts on Oldskool Suzy, I'm having some of the same issues as OZKAT with turbo selection/setup - more on that later. I'll probly end up joining that group as well 'coz there is a lot more info on the old air cooled stuff over there. Speaking of the UK, what an unbelievable custom bike scene they have over there. Like some of the guys on this list, I hang out for my copy of Streetfighters mag & I can't believe the quality & quantity of the specials they build & the amount of events they put on, if they had half decent weather, I reckon i'd move there - or maybe not. Anyway, we're in the great state of Mexico & would be keen to hookup with other SF operators for discreet & fun times - oops, wrong group - I mean rides & shit. How many people on this list are going to the Rossi benefit in Oct? That'd be a good place to get together over a few substances eh? BTW how can I/we get hold of one of them "Put it on my tab" T shirts? they're fuckin gold. I'm at work at the mo' so I'll hafta cut it short but have lotsa questions, etc so as the big fella says - "I'll be back" Cheers, Darren. (dmorcomb@alphalink.com.au) These smiley things are sweet!

Bloke with the stick
Nice one mate. That's the shit we wanna hear. I'm sure you'll get a shout out from DEANO, FOXY, HORNET BOY, GIBBO and all the other VIC guys soon mate.
You'll see heaps of 'Fighters over in England if you ever go, that's why they're so bloody good, they gotta stay ahead of each other! But then there's the German's, they go one further. If you want to experience the whole euro scene at one venue just go to the Isle of Mann TT event, you'll be in heaven.
As for the shirts mate - go to the home page of this site and click on GEAR on the right. You'll get a better view and details. Once you've decided you're up for one, give me a shout - webmaster@streetfighters.com.au and I'll check stock and sort you out. Oh, and by the way, welcome to the madness......

Bloke with a smaller stick
Welcome aboard mate
where bouts you located?
be great if you could make the 18th september.
sounds like the kat will be a handfull.
if your mate is chasing gixer bits it may be worth posting what he requires.
some of the guys here run that model so if they don't have the bits they may be able to point you in the right direction.

Fuck off Ozkat, blow through or suck through? The only blow through you'd do would be through your Lovesock that you keep under your pillow that you use when having sex, generaly on your own.

G'day again lads & lassies. first up, thanx for the welcome, it's nice to be among like minded brethren. I'll get some pics up asap Chalky, but I must admit to being a bit of a novice with all things computer related. I can generally get shit done but I have to fuck it up a few times first so bear with me. Yeah Gix, It's been a dream of mine to get to the TT one day, I'm not much of a traveller though, tend to spend my $ on other (motorised) stuff & I'm only on wages at the mo' so there's not much to spare - it might take me 'til I'm 50 but I'll get there one day, I'd love to do a lap on mad Sunday with all the other loons, you gotta die of something right! Like Foxy I have ridden with a couple of clubs - touring club (good, fast rides) & eastern subs mob (drinking club with a motorcycling problem) but to tell you the truth, I'm not much of a club type person really & custom stuff is really where my heart is so I'm definatley keen to do some SF rides. I'm in Mt.Waverley Deano, I have a standing arrangement with half a dozen mates for the Expo thing every year but I'll be able to talk them into broadening their horizons no drama, I'll keep an eye on the thread for meeting places, times, etc so count me in. I'm only shooting for about 200 hp with the Kat so I won't be spending a fortune on forgies, APE studs, Carillos, etc. I've had turbo cars in the past & I just wanna experience that power rush on a bike that only forced induction can give. I've had half a dozen Katanas over the years all modified in some way but this one will be pretty wild when I finish it - can't wait! The biggest thing that my mate Shane is chasing is an 1100 motor at the right price, the 750J he's got is a complete rider as it is & he's got quite a few good bits already (6 spots, Ohlins rear, Renthals, twin spots, etc.) so once he gets an 1100 lump we can really get fired up on it. (I'll be doing most of the fabrication, setup, etc.) I'll need to discuss turbo tech with you OZ, but that'll hafta be a separate post as it's likely to be lengthy. I'm using draw thru but only 'coz I've already got the Mr Turbo plenum & carb. You're looking at blowers now? I defntly need to hear about that! 4 or 5 days at the Island Gibbo! are you going to be marshalling or something? We camp trackside so we should be there at some stage on Fri a.m. I'll have one of them ASF t shirts by then so should be easy to spot. Are you guys organising somewhere to meet up? Keep me posted. Phew! I've never typed anything so long in all my life. I'm at work again so I'll get back on later.
Keep on truckin.

Onya Davo, I just might join you on the podium, I'll probly be well hammered enough - ya gotta get into the spirit of the event after all!
I tell you one thing I piss & moan about every year, why the fuck don't they let bikes into the circuit like they do at the Supers, I'm told it has to do with the different governing body of GPs not allowing the PI management to do it but I suspect it is a public liability/arse coverage/political correctness/alien conspiracy thing. If I could only go to 1 event a year, you can bet both of them it'd be the Supers. It's a better vibe anyway & you can do wheelies, donuts, skids, etc & show off your trick ride & perve at others at the same time. There are so few custom/modified bikes around that you can really stand out from the crowd. Such is life.
