HONDA GL145
May 19, 2012
Let me just start this post by saying the truck has not been put on the back burner, I’ve done some work on it, I’m just lazy with updating. I have however, bought myself another motorcycle, a Honda GL145. 145CC, single overhead cam, four stroke, it meets all the criteria for a racing series in australisia called bucket racing. GL145s are hideously ugly from factory and I spent a few hours today pulling all the road parts off it and cutting crap off the chassis. Whilst it still has a way to go, including a new seat, clip ons, move the foot brake and shifter and some 17″ wheels with better tires, it is looking far better than it did. For a comparison on just how ugly they are, have a google for Honda GL145. Dang!
I’ve raced at two meetings now on a variety of borrowed bikes (a Suzuki FXR, Honda CBR250 w/ TS125 engine, Yamaha YB100) and can say that I am 200% addicted. Whilst it doesn’t look very fast on the go kart tracks it is held on, there is more than enough competition in the field to get the heart pumping and the want to win out of you. Watch this space.

IAN’S DATSUN SANCTUARY
April 28, 2012
When I was in Australia this February I caught up with Ian, a good mate of mine who just so happens to be a Datsun nerd like myself. Between him and his dad he has 3 Datsun 1000s and 3 Datsun 1200 coupes including a rally modified one. Much to my delight we went out to the ‘shed’, which may I add is amazing, and cut up the floor of the KB10 on the hoist to fit a fuel cell. It is being built with the engine which used to be in Ian’s street car, a modified A15 which he let me drive a few years ago around the hills in Wollongong.
We hung out, drunk beer, ate pizza and I became familiar with a car I have been lusting over for years, the Datsun 1000 coupe. I rang out the little A10 in the KB10 in the last photo around the block and fell in love. One day I will own one of these cars! I’d just like to note a practical point: Datsun 1000s don’t have chassis rails running down the floor pan, the rails over the rear axles are perfect for notching and slamming out the front transverse leaf suspension is easy as anything… just saying.
Cheers Ian, can’t wait to build Datsuns with you again one day!
