95Racer Development

Life’s been pretty hectic: new job, family expanding, etc. So, my apologies for the lack of updates. Unfortunately, I can’t promise that the frequency of updates will improve but I’ll definitely try to do better.

Anyway, I didn’t get to race this year at all, again due to time constraints and also a certain engine tuner letting me down very badly. In hindsight, I should have pulled the plug on him at the beginning of the 2008 season.

The bike has continued its development. I was able to improve both on reducing the weight further and increase horsepower. The weight reduction has come from some chassis changes, but mainly on the engine. So, the engine work has paid off on both fronts. The other increase in performance, again weight and power, has come from exhaust development work. Plus, it now easily meets the 105 dB race noise limit.

The latest news is that Performance Bike magazine will feature the bike (presumably next month). The bike was scheduled to be tested by Guy Martin at Cadwell Park on the same day, but unfortunately we had an oil seal let go and couldn’t fix it on the day.

Here is what the bike looks today:
