Thanks for posting. I really miss "Cycle" magazine - it had really good writers (Jennings, Cameron, etc) and wasn't afraid to point out when something was bad with the bikes they were testing. And they really did test bikes, to the point of pulling them apart and measuring, rather than just regurgitating the manufacturers advertising.

Jennings really knew how to separate the bull. Bet he was hard to work with but I liked his writing. Same with Cameron. Buy his TDC books

What spoiled cameron for me was when one of the Britten team told me about this guy at daytona they couldn't shake off and who spent all his time standing staring at the bike, just moonstruck...yep, that was Cameron.

I think that's kinda sweet rather than creepy. Here's a guy who's done the hard yards sleeping in vans driving across state to another race meet, machining his own bearing cages for KR750s , building countless chambers, letting his bike shop business fall over just to make the startline for a racer he was helping. For him to have his mind blown by a bike is a compliment. He still writes about it.

still think the v1000 would have been better as a 2 stroke.

I have posted a lot of Camerons stuff it pretty easy to read and contains some pretty great stuff remember he was a tech inspector as well so has seen it all.
the taking apart of a brand new for sale H2 while his business partner wasn't looking to measure up if the H1r tranny would fit was funny and the fact he ran faster than the official factory H2 entries at Daytona proves he was no mug.

At one stage the AMA said 350 two stroke single could compete in the 250 class,which was monopolised by Yamahas. Cameron built a bike based on a 350 Kawasaki Bighorn. Cliff Carr rode it. Cycle published an article about it. Because I had a Bighorn at the time I thought it was the greatest thing ever
Wonder what ever happened to that bike?

Yep, I believed all that, put down $1169 (which is quite a lot when my weekly pay was about $40). Loved it when it was going, learned a lot about motors when it wasn't . Either the magneto rotor would come off, finally cured. By lapping and loctite, or the rotary disk would break up and go into the cylinder, eating the piston.
Would really like another one now I think I know enough to keep one alive.
Completely off topic, sorry.
