Sad state of motorcycling when you go for a bike run and end up at an Art Gallery. Namedrop time: Got chatting to Croz about Grants racing and he said he had to lift his game a bit. Ken gave me the nod. Went to a very flash shed full of Nortons , lathes and milling machines , drank leaf tea from Wedgwood cups....very sofistikated. http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1020923
Throwing more horsepower at a bike to race on the short circuits we have in NZ seldom works. As Hailwood observed " In order to get a fast bike, get a fast rider". The well ridden 125s lap HD in better times than the big multis. The super karts lap faster than the big Commodores. Grant may be better on a sorted 250 and do the hard yards. I assume my BMW is eligible for VCC events now.
Yes you and Rhys can join, they have mid week runs to sheds and stuff too. Those japanese multis are not the lightest to throw around.
Croz sorted that out with wide bars - I'm with him on that one. How to make a heavy steering bike - fit clip-ons.
