"They walk among us"
Not everyone has the ability to prepare bikes like they're an engineer, my brother, Ian Staples, and I blew an oil line at manfeild when we raced circa 1986, on TV too. A few people came up and said we should be using proper hose fittings, he was a fitter and i'm a sparky, we were preparing that bike to the best of our ability.
Would've saved a heap of shit going down if someone had pointed the oil fitting thing out before we blew it, like in scrutineering, or in a passing (polite) comment.
Ok Ian's now one of the guys who gives the Sidecars Certification, I'm limited in my mechanical knowledge, have a better knowledge than 28 years ago but more importantly know my limits, except when drinking home brew spirits, and since Bob's run out of stickers he's now having to fix brake lines properly...
We have to cater for the lowest common denominator, like most of us once were.
I want FAST eds old Agip chair to come play with some of you old -unts, now just to find the cash and a swinger
