Great article, looks like he did his homework on them. Nice to see the members bikes in there.

 

Aaaah I've been waiting to find the article to read free.

Thanks Pace!

 

This is the article I was commenting on the other day (https://cbrforum.com/forum/cbr-600f3-17/found-article-looking-f3-pics-103246/). Is that your bike pacemaker? It looks just like yours.

 

Got my issue last week.. great writeup.. really makes me want a purple and yellow F3 or a smokin joe!

 

It's his bike.

 

I actually read this article in the magazine. I was about to start crying since I am selling my F3. ))

 

Yeah I saw this **** n WalMart but the woman was in a hurry so I didnt ck it out. Thanks :-D

"In 1996 we were at the track and had a brand new F3 engine in a bike and Doug Toland was riding it. After a few laps we noted that it started to smoke and it didn't let up so we brought him in off the track. After looking over the bike we realized that the entire cooling system was dry. It had been on the track circulating for several laps at race pace yet it never gave up. I later opened up the engine assuming it was toast but it wasn't. The cylinders were slightly out of round from the excessive heat but I simply rebuilt it anyway. After reassembly it made more power on the dyno than any other F3 we had built."

****ing incredible
