So, tomorrow I shall be a step closer to my original goal,set many moons ago. An Fj engined, F1 framed 1980s race bike. Deposit shall be paid in the morning. Frame as raced by Colin Edwards and Jake Zemke at the Phillip island classic earlier this year. Josh Hayes will be riding one in January too. I will be accepting delivery early in the new year. A strong,fast reliable engine will be the hard part. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18GC32P6QOmnXp_F0fPVVy-vhuoK43JhC/view?usp=drivesdkTrying to share a photo here....not working. Its in my gallery. |

Very cool Jonesy! Keep the pictures coming. I wonder how much fuel the tank holds?
I wonder how hard it would be to hang some lights on it to get it street legal?
I wonder why they stayed with conventional forks on the front end? Class rules?
So many questions....
I've always lusted after a Spondon framed FJ.

No clue how big the tank is.
Maximum fork size is 43mm conventional.
It could be put on the road here in Ireland pretty easily.
Same as I did with my bobber.
Donor frame and vin plate, but this will be purely a race bike.
My plan is to offer my services to the Irish team competing on the Phillip Island classic races, if the Irish team ever get it together again.
Apart from that, I can think of nothing better than loading a bike like that into my van and heading off to a sunny race someplace in mainland Europe.

That’s funny! I’d assume it would have to be custom fabricated ... stainless? Or TITANIUM!! |
