   Most of mine has been of the four-stroke variety.

    After just bending 18 of 24 valves in the Beast's engine. I'm tending to think 2 strokes aren't so bad!
    Wished I still had my first bike, as a 15 year old, The Hodaka Wombat!

    How'd you miss the other six?

    A mate of mine raced a Hodaka Wombat as a sponsored rider. Yes, he's much older than me.

    The other six just kissed the piston. I'd say that they had a poofteenth more valve clearance and clearance to the piston pockets. A head stud broke and the dome nut (and piece of threaded rod) dropped into the cam chain tunnel. Breaking the cam chain. A bit of a freak accident, but when I rebuild, I have some stronger studs to put in the cases. My engineer mate, made up a few sets, when he made some for his twin turbo CBX salt racer
    Anyway we were planning on retiring from racing for a while and it is nothing that Time and Money can't fix.
    Something that we all have an abundance of!!!!!!!

     RD250DX, the 250 & 350LC's  (actually, just any of the RD's)

     TZR250 (looking for a 3XV now..)

     '87 VFR400NC21

     TDR250

     FZ750

     CX500 #3 of 6, we had such fun together weirdly enough!

     Honda Hurricane 110cc & Yamaha RZ135 (bored to 150cc) - fun at the time and in those places! (would not make sense in some countries; but there & then they were good!)

     CBR600F #2 of 5 - tuned to the hilt and handling nirvana for 1993! ha ha

     ...probably more I have forgotten to include...

     Hokey dokey - the TZR then, as I still remember the day I picked it up in Bournmouth and ran through the New Forest, having so much fun and forgot to check the fuel level - bloke stopped on the M27 and sold me some at like 3 time the price - maybe 75p on the litre! (20 something at the time), still, I was happy to not be stuck there - teenagers on bikes hey!

     Yes, I took a TS50ER to Oxford from Pompey in the middle of Winter - 30mph and freezing is somehow worse than 90mph and freezing - the warm pub/hearth/maiden is seemingly a lot further away at that snail pace! lol
