Thought you guys might like to see some pics of my old girl

**paso** · 30 Mar 07, 05:28 PM

Before i retired her from sprinting in 2005 she had run mid 11 second times with a little shot of nitrous

the motor was toataly stock complete with standard pipes.Oh and the standard much abused weber carb .Not too bad for a 2 valve old girl i guess

I bought her in 1999 as a road bike made the mistake of going to watch a sprint (i had competed in drag racing and sprints since 1974 retiring when i was 40)and got hooked again. She was used in sprints /drag racing /top speed flyers and Hill climbing for 6 seasons with no mecanical problems at all. still in sprint trim she sits in my garage loking forward to going back on the road for gentle trundles down to weston ........and you never know perhaps the odd event just to prove she aint old

In the mean time i contine to develop my Turbo Hayabusa super street bike.

Hooray for your Paso!

Nice one Paso, great to see those photos.
Do you remember a guy by the name of Ag McPhail? He ran Jade Warrior at Santa Pod through the 70's and 80's along with a few other very fast machines and still holds a few records to this day.

Yes Ags bikes were really special 8) He is a good friend of my mate Keith Parnell who at 70 is still racing Keith was the first European to run an 8 second 1/4 mile 8)

**Steve** · 30 Mar 07, 06:57 PM

Yes, I know of Keith and Alan Erridge. Ags a friend of mine and so is Mick Hand. John Murray is my step dad. They all formed McCoy Dynamics and Ag still has the Warrior. He's building some sorta fast 50cc thing with a million pistons.
