2007: Blez in the first Monotracer
Submitted by paulblez on 03-Nov-07 6:14am2007: 5 Quasars, Carver, Eco
Submitted by paulblez on 03-Nov-07 6:03amIn 2007 there were only 5 Quasars, but Monty brought his new Carver down from York and Steve brought his Eco over from Belgium, along with Koen and his XMax. A shame that Graham Robb and his Voyager couldn't stay long enough for this pic, but he was there earlier on. At least Shawn's yellow Quasar made it all the way this year. Terry brought his Benelli Adiva and Robin his Tmax. PNB Photo: John Crowson on Blez's EOS.

Submitted by bobwreford on 29-Oct-07 4:28pmStealth Bike! Looks narrow doesn't it? Only 31 inches wide with wheelbase 1600 mm / 63 inches depending on chain adjustment. Seat height about 25 inches with me on it, footrests higher than the previous incarnation. Rake is about 27 degrees compared to the 30 degrees previously but with tiller bars and a long bike I cannot claim it is at all nimble. Comfortable yes, and meets all my expectations, built from scrap just to suit me!
Previously the bike did over 70 mpg on the trip around France so I am expecting the same.
2007: Pegasus KawaBanana - First ride!
Submitted by bobwreford on 29-Oct-07 3:52pmI have succeeded in fitting the original Banana fairing to the red Kawasaki Gpz500s with the Pegasus number plate which came off ebay at £150. Mind you to get the twin disc front end I had to buy an additional German spec bike and swop forks. The build has taken ages but throughout I have had the daily support of Arthur Middleton by email who generously donated the Andrew Gibbens designed ComfortMax tail. The hardest bit was buying a Mig welder and getting up the courage to saw up the swingarm, you feel totally committed at that stage!

2007: Simon Frankau, former Quasar owner
Submitted by nestofdragons on 18-Sep-07 7:15amThis is Simon Frankau with the Quasar he rode at the 2007 gathering. Tragically, his own Quasar was very badly burnt in a fire earlier in the year after a six-year restoration and over twenty years of ownership. This red Quasar is 002 and was previously owned by the late Nick Roche for many years. At the time this photo was taken it was owned by Mark Crowson but it was later owned by Andy Tribble and he sold it to John Cooper. It is now owned by Gavin Newell, son of the Quasar's co-creator, Malcolm Newell.
2007 It has a boot! (Quasar)
