Hi,
we held up our German Triples Meeting this weekend. I finshed two bikes with reed kits from John 2 days before we ride to the meeting. It's an S1A with 400 engine and my special H1. It was the first ride out on the S1A for my girlfriend with the reeds.
I didn't have the time to finish the fine tuning before the meeting. John gave me some tips for the carbs, but for the 500 I couldn't get the parts before the meeting, because Mikuni Germany were on holidays at the time I need the parts. So the 500 wasn't finish and the 400 ran's okay.
We had a traditional dragrace at the weekend and my girlfriend got the first place in class 350-400. If I'm correct that's the first time that a women wins a class since the 30 years of German club racing. The bike doesn't work perfect but it was enough for the others.
Second place goes to another fast women.
First palce in 750 goes to "Leo", also the second place in "500" goes to Leo. I don't know where I landed. We will get the times later. My bike was fast, but my starts are very bad, like every year. I'm not a good drag racer, like Leo. He starts always perfect. So many thanks to John for his help and very good equipment. I let you know when bikes where complete finished how they work with the reeds, but what I can say today it's great.
All the best from Germany
Ralf
