Read the post, He was elaborating on what Nonbeliever was saying.
Also (As far as I know- Correct me If I'm wrong) if the Desmodada beats that time in a PROPER sanctioned 2way run it will own the OUTRIGHT NZ Motorcycle speed record aswell and any class honours, so it is relevant.

I think there was just to much difficulty involved for Andrew to stay involved with it

New Zealand Speed Record Attempt!

On the 9th of November at 9am Cliffhanger Promotions will be holding a New Zealand speed record attempt event.

There will be a number of interesting machines taking part in the event, including a Ducati Desmodici RR.

Records will be broken!

Please note that this is not taking part at the usual venue, but on Murphy's Line, just out of Featherston. Please click here for a map.

We need 25 marshals for this event, so if you can help out that would be appreciated. Please contact us via the details below if you can help.
