Grunt

A picture of 'Grunt', my old FZ race bike. He's been a race bike pretty well all his 17 years. Now semi-retired I'm not sure if I'll use him again. Had some good times, Grunt and I. How the scrutineers hated him.

Snetterton, May 2004; obviously more comfortable than he looks. Always ran the bike un-faired so when the oil containment regs came out a suitable catch tank was fitted under a tray beneath the sump.

The scruts hated Grunt - unfaired and scruffy. despite the oil containment tank exceeding the spec in the regs they always tried to find a way of failing it.

According to the link below it is an Earlystock. After he got too old for racing in the modern classes he had a short rest. Then he was out again in the 'Modern Classics' class here in the Island. He did get the odd outing across the water though.

Mmm, bring back memorys of my own FZ

Never raced it, I did however drive it from LA to Fairbanks, then over to Pitsburgh. Brill!

I'm sure I've got a picture somewhere of it under a redwood somewhere...
