2011 April It has been quite a while since I have updated this section. What with 2 earthquakes and Robbies broken leg, it has been a very trying time. Just to let everyone know, I am finally allowed back into my building for work and have managed to also get power back on. So am slowly getting everything back to normal. Or as normal as it can be. I am just on the outter of the CBD, so work has been greatly affected. But, with time, I am sure we will get things sorted out again. I am now able to get back into building suspension, engines and bike set up, for any new or old cuctomers. The dyno work is also still going well and was not nearly as affected, mainly because the dyno is set up in a different part of town. I am back in Aussie this week, as we are racing in Perth with the Aussie V8's this coming weekend, so that will be interesting, especially since the Superbikes have not been to Perth since mid 2000's. I will be back Tuesday, 2nd of May. I can still be got hold of by my cell phone, or e-mail. Thanks. Red.   2010 Tri Series Updates... read more   Triple R is now the official dealer and Technician for the South Island. Red can now provide suspension tuning and rebuilding, along with his engine tuning dyno work I am back in Australia with Robbie again, for their Superbike Championship. We were up in Darwin for the 2nd round (1st rd was same weekend as our 4th, so Robbie did our rd and missed the 1st Australian rd), and was it warm. In their series, Robbie is on a satelite bike, of Phil Tainton's Factroy team. Phil builds the bike and then we look after it from there during each round. Then Phil Tainton Racing (PTR) transport it to the next round and also do any engine work that needs sorting out. During the Darwin Rd, it was very warm. I was drinking up to 7 litres of water a day and I was sweating it out just about as fast. Josh Waters, Shawn Giles (Factory Suzuki riders, along with Troy Herfoss on the 600) and Robbie, were losing 1.5kgs in weight, in each practice. Everyone had to keep the liquid intake up. The round went well for Robbie. A 3rd in the 1st race, which would have been a 2nd, but the red flag came out 2 laps before the end, just before he was going to pounce on 2nd place Glen Allerton. We made a couple of small changes to the rear for the 2nd race. But, it actually took grip away from Robbie, which was a real shame, because he had the pace to run at least 2nd. Josh Waters was on fire all weekend and really lead from the front. Overall, Robbie was really happy with the weekend. Our next round is at Queensland Raceway in June; Robbies home track. So we will be aiming for good results there. Robbie #6, leading Shawn Giles & Kevin Curtin at the MotoGP round, Philip Island.
