Um...no        

I just threw this together

To my knowledge there isn't a cross reference chart. If you're looking for RD info it wouldn't be difficult to make your own spreadsheet, as there are only a few parts to deal with.  And keep in mind, some parts are NLA.

I bought that same book maybe 15 years ago.

Good find

I was hoping to be back on the road by my birthday in April, but didn't quite make it.  However, I did make it in time for Dad's 80th birthday last week.  He jumped right on and away we went, with me trying to keep up on his 125 Honda.

That's awesome! Congrats on the build completion and belated happy birthday to dad

Another eventful day and another sidecar incident, this time it was the Crowe brothers at Crosby jump in which their outfit went airborne and flipped. The event was again red-flagged and both of the brothers were said to have suffered leg fractures. They were leading the class in qualifying and were more than 5mph ahead of the field. Due to the crashes of the Crowes and of Maria Costello & Shaun Parker the day prior, officials have suspended the sidecar class for the rest of the event. And this comes after restrictor plates were introduced in the sidecar class this year to lower speeds and make the racing more competitive.

Sadly Daniel Ingham was killed in Wednesday evening Supersport qualifying. Although it was his first TT, he had raced the course annually since 2016 in the Manx GP, and won the Senior MGP race in 2024 and podiumed several times.

The latest rule change that MotoGP is now considering is a single bike rule for the top class. Meaning no more back-up bike or flag-to-flag bike swaps. So far Acosta has come out against the change.

Weather has been perfect this year, so times are fast. Sun, warm temps, no fog, and good visibility.
Apparently the Day 1 accident was serious, it sent several spectators to the hospital as well as the rider.

Day 2 was going great and almost done when there was another red flag, this time for a sidecar crash at Brandish.
As usual, it's Dunlop leading in Supersport, and in Superbike the fastest are Harrison and Hickman.

The TT got underway today, however Day 1 was called off during the final untimed free practice session of the day. There was a serious crash at Parliament Square that resulted in a red flag.

Tomorrow is qualifying sessions for Superbike, Supersport, and Sidecar. The event runs May 25 to June 6

Wow, quite a transformation. Looks great!

Went on a morning ride to meet up with my friend John for breakfast in Long Beach. On the way I happened upon some people setting up for what looked like a scooter show on a frontage lot along Pacific Coast Highway in LBC, so I told him that we should check it out after we ate.

On the way home we stopped by and it was a really large scooter rally. They said they were expecting over 150 scooters to show up and go on the annual ride. There was easily well more than 100 when we were there, and more were rolling in. It was amazing (and smelled so good).

Already have it on my calendar for next year.

Trike accident. Two fatalities.
