[Big Dave]

It's basically what will be the street bike with plastics in lieu of carbon, a base gasket and ECM. They aren't far enough along to have it in optimum race trim yet.

Side on indeed it does. But from the front - is it as wide as a hummer?

[jasonu]

The EBR didn't feature, finished 2 spots ahead of its grid position. The KTM's looked good though.

I wouldnt say that.. The Buell is a proven rolling chassie and the engine a mass produced unit, rather than a one of out the back shed sorta deal.

[ajturbo]

i agree D... sure it was a great (FUCKIN great ) effort...:yes::drinkup:

but the Britten...

That was MADE IN NZ...

and NO ONE can beat that....:woohoo::yes:

Ain't a Squirrel Glen, It's ya fur lined Y fronts catching in the Palmy wind that looks like a squirrel...

[Shaun]

True I guess, we only got up to 9th in the Senior race at the TT with it before stopping


PS Craig, I NEVER did crash it, probally just not trying hard enough eh

[Big Dave]

Of course there are similarities between the two.

Both highly innovative engineers, the 'Mad Scientists', prepared to challenge convention and both build/t unique race bikes.

EB started in a shed, was self funded, has registered heaps of patents and ultimately sold a many thousands of bikes* with his design stamp on them. Also a high achiever.

* Just trying to find out exactly how many now.

The Britten still gets plenty of press overseas, at last years TT, one of the questions in the quiz in the Official TT Race guide included with the program.

Question 24

Can you name the rider pictured here during practice for the 1996 Senior TT when he achieved the sole TT finish for the famous Britten machine? ( the photo is of a Britten in the yellow and black livery of Roberto Crepaldi )

[RobGassit]

Looks like you rode it hard also:scooter:

I couldn't bring myself to do it after she said you had done a lap of the Isle on her. Must have been hard(sic) finding the apex Shaun. Did you have a torch strapped to your helmet? At the very least a 4x2 strapped to your arse..:facepalm:

[dangerous]

Gingernuts mind you.....

HEY... dont you be hassling the blood nuts buster :facepalm:
