I think your refering to the small photo.
We rent garages at the race meetings.The fzr is mine and the r1 is one of the other guys in my garage.
Its an ex bernard race team r1.
The other guy in my garage rides triumph 675
They both ride formula one and the 675 also runs formula two.
I ride pre89 senior
We run in starting grid 35max so some miss out in qualifying.
the pre 89 runs with pre 82 and both classes have over 600(senior) and under 600(junior)
So 4 post classics classes running at the same time.
Grid order is qualifing order so you may end up starting beside kawasaki z1000 or zxr400.
All start together.
Previous rides listed i signiture but because i strip bikes for profit have not listed them as there is a hundred or so.
Only got two bikes at moment but i am bidding on two more on trademe(like ebay)to restore then sell.
I have only enough garage space for 4bikes max and the trailer but i am trying to sell car and trailer to replace with van.
This will give me room for 6 or seven bikes at a time.

I must admit, I've always liked Triumphs. Would love to add a Speed Triple to the stable some day.
Here's a full size of the Bonneville:

I got a big list of mods and ill get them in the shots.
Cr race smooth bore carbs,K/N filter,air eliminator kit(stops the unburnt fuel returning into airbox(HOT)),billet indicators,30inch flat bars,bar end mirrors,passanger grab bar,triumph race pipes,one tooth up front sprocket,race shocks rear,Spacers in front forks 15mm.
Started with 55hp and have 75hp now
Future plans include hot cams,wisco 1000cc kit,high compression gasket,5.5inch rear rim(spoked).
