JUNE 2001
 

27/06/01 : Ian at JASScooters informs me they now have a nifty digital temperature guage to go with the tachometer (as mentioned previously) and some genuine Italjet clothing now in stock.

26/06/01 : You'd be advised to hit 'Reload' on your web browser (CTRL + F5 on Internet Explorer) as the Gallery pages have once again been updated to include some more shots which I took of Joe Elliot drag racing at Elvington and Santa Pod earlier this summer, and there's some more pics of the 'Eminem' themed Dragster which is currently featured in this months Twist & Go plus other pictures sent in by you good people, keep sendin' em in folks.

18/06/01 : The tachometer as seen here in the Gallery is available from JASScooters where you will find a few other Dragster goodies including a rear seat panel, number plate bracket and a water hose braiding kit.

13/06/01 : Some more pics in the Gallery for your enjoyment including a few of the splendid 'Eminem' themed Dragster which has been appearing at various shows in the UK this year, I believe this bike is to get a full feature in Scootering keep an eye out for that. I've also uploaded a few pictures of Joe Elliot when I met up with him at Elvington and Santa Pod over the last few months. Joe's taken to the drag race scene in a big way (he's down at Santa Pod virtually every weekend) and he's currently looking for sponsorship. An extra pair of tyres wouldn't go amiss the amount of burnouts this guy does... So if there are any companies out there who would be interested in sponsoring Joe in any way send us an email for Joe's contact details.

05/06/01 : Paul Melici of PM Tuning fame is currently writing a new book which will feature all that he has learned over the last 25 years regarding tuning scooters, the book proposes to be chock full of tech tips, info on exhaust fabrication, 'Pro Street' tuning, Dyno testing, manufacturing and so on and will include all the latest developments for modern autos. Summat to look forward to then!

04/06/01 : I'm back! Been off for a bit, but I'm back now and there's loads of stuff waiting to go on-line... Drove 150 miles down to Santa Pod yesterday, met up with Joe Elliot, his Dragster goes pretty darn fast, most impressive. Details of Joe's engine modifications will be posted on the site soon. He also tells me he's got a few parts to sell which might be of interest to some of you. Meanwhile, I'm still looking for funding for this message board lark, if anyone still wants to 'chip in' (whatever amount) please feel free.
