Come from the shadows - the Shadowfax restoration.

I was rapt mate ! It was sitting at Pete's place in a shed for 8 years then out at Mark's farm in a dirty barn for the last 13 years !!! Filthy dirty - but clean inside

It needs only slight modding to fit the ZX1100 frame......

Sweet!

Man I can't imagine anyone hotting up a GS850- overweight slug they were. Nice to ride but SHIT handling. I had a real big moment on a mates one years ago, at relatively low speed.

this one was pretty good from memory - I think he had done some bracing up around the steering head ? It did have different shocks on the back as well for the Bathurst run - S&W Street Strokers - remember them ?? ducks guts back in the day......

The big G in action....

nice vid !

OK punters - time to get down to the newsagent and buy the latest copy of Used & Classic Bike Enthusiast. It is the winter 2012 edition, and has an RG500 Gamma on the front cover......

Page 64 - there is a great story about the racing that took place at the recent Barry Sheene Festival of Speed at EC......

amongst all the great photos are a picture of an immaculate Shadowfax in the bike show on Sunday, and also a pair of slightly-less immaculate punters holding some trophies from said bike show !!

UCBE are heading down here this weekend to get some good pics of the 'Fax - these will be used as part of a full article on the bike which will hopefully appear inside the next couple of issues........looking forward to that. ! Time to break out the spit'n'polish tomorrow morning so the bike is all shiny for the photos on Sunday.

looking fwd to the article

well if it was up to Phil - the article could fill an entire issue !

Had a great day today with the photographer - Jason, he was the same dude who did the photoshoot on my mates Macintosh Suzuki back in issue #4 - Spring 2011.

Over the best part of 4 hours today, the 'Fax was photographed from every angle - and also a couple of nude shots - just some close-ups of the excellent frame bracing done many years ago.

We did the photos up at mum'n'dads place, as they are away at the moment so the caravan car-port made a great studio Phil bought his missus down, this was the first time she has seen the bike in the flesh.....very impressed.

Not sure which issue the story will appear in - apparently Jeff has a heap of bikes to feature in upcoming issues, some of these are detailed in the latest issue of UCBE.

Sweet! Cant wait to see it!!!!

What a great day this was. Such a pleasure to watch a really good photographer at work. A HUGE thanks top Dave for prepping the bike, delivering it and taking it back home again. We had a blast today. The video a couple of posts up was taken by my good friend, Chris Bartle who was flag marshalling on T2 at the Creek on the Saturday. Though I am sure lots of people took videos, this is the only one that I have seen.

Here's a "teaser"
