15/5-08: Yesterday the team went to Meca Raceway in Malmö to drive two testrounds since we have made some changes with the bike. The grip wasn´t good and the track was cold, but the first round out we drove 4,98sec with tire spin. Back to the pit to change the oil and check the clutch, the second and last round we drove 4,93sec and had a topspeed at 235km/h. We got the answers we needed so we are pleased.
There is two videos from the test and some
pictures,
take a look!

6/5-08: The website is updated with some new links.

5/5 08: There are now new pictures from this weekends test ’n tune at Meca Raceway! Take a look and if you want to, put a comment in the guestbook.

4/5 08: We´re now home again from this weekends test ’n tune at Meca Raceway, and we are very happy with the results, we broke our own record in the fourth round. Saturday we had a few problems as we warmed up, a strap broke and we also had some problems with the computerlogg. The problems were solved and we drove out the first round but then the bike drifted to the left, so we almost ended up in the left lane! So the time on that round was not very good. The second round out this season we drove 4,92sec. Today we got to drive more rounds and the first that day we got a 4,83sec! The following two rounds are not worth mention, but then we made a new personal record at 4,81sec! And the last round out this weekend we drove 4,89sec. Pictures from this weekend will come today or tomorrow. A big thank you to Christer Holmberg, Christer “Prosten” Hansson, Ronny Sandberg and Tommy Jonsson that helpt us during this weekend.

2/5 08: At this time we’ve got our hands full with fixing the bike and all that needs to be done beacuse tomorrow morning it’s off to Meca Raceway! We´re really looking forward to this weekend and hope that we can make the bike work before the season starts. Pictures and info of how it went you’ll find here on Sunday or Monday, stay tuned!

24/4 08: Yesterday it was time to start up the bike again, We found a new Hose End in the home workshop and we assembled it. But when we fired up the bike it wouldn’t run like it did last Tuesday, so we charged the batteries, made some adjustments on the bike and started it up again. It ran nice and replied when we hit the throttle. We rolled out on the street and did a burnout and it all worked and sounded like it was suppose to. Today we’re going to register us to the Pro test ’n Tune that starts next weekend.

23/4 08: Yesterday we started up the bike for the first time this season, it started without any problems apart from that it leaked methanol from a Hose End. We came across the problem and we´ll see if we can fix a new Hose End and start it up again tonight.

21/4 08: as you’ve probably noticed the website has been down for quite some time, and during that time it has happened a lot with the bike and the website. The bike will be started up for the first time this season, any day now! The local newspaper of Landskrona has interviewed us, and we will also be in the next number of the magazine street ´n strip. We had a photoshoot with a very nice girl named Anna, as she has posed with the bike. The photos were taken by the very good photographer: Jan Nilsson. A big Thank you to both of you! As soon as we start the engine, and if everything works as it’s suppose to, we’ll probably attend the Pro test ´n tune at Meca Raceway 3-4th of May. The website is not quite finished yet. Pictures of the team etc. are coming soon! Be patient.
