they are the dry break entries aren't they like a Daytona TZ750?
Same TZ750, but left side this time, showing lovely endurance fuel filler cap. All you need is quick release endurance filler setup and then you could use it . . .

But why on the side and so recessed? Seems like you'd lose a lot of valuable tank space.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

They fill under pressure so being the side wouldn't matter? why on the side though ,that i don't know, maybe easier to hook into?no need for an overhead setup for the rig?

Maybe they were just plain stupid...They fill under pressure so being the side wouldn't matter? why on the side though ,that i don't know, maybe easier to hook into?no need for an overhead setup for the rig?

but they all were then.....
Maybe it was an American idea..
I bet they had an rule that said they were only allowed to carry x liters of fuel anyway(which co-incidentally was exactly what the Harleys needed to do the race without a pit stop)

2 theorys here... 1 its easist for pit crew to run up to the side of the bit to fill, 2nd as fuel goes in down low air gets out quicker through the top, and maybe spilage is safer out the side rather than over the top and electrics.

Congrats, D - both correct. the hose is a big heavy piece of kit, yes. shouldn't be any spillage, it's called a dry break system for a reason...and yes, the air goes out the top via a f'n big clear hose. As soon as fuel is seen in the breather hose the dry break connection is pulled. With any luck, the tank is full....Honda however had a record of stuffing it up. Either underfilling or getting so much in it pressurised the tank....

My best sound list would have to include the Moto Guzzi V8, pretty awesome sound for a poppet monster.

Nah, that thing is quiet - at Puke when it was here you could barely hear it.
At the same meeting though was the supercharged AJS V4 - on straight pipes it sounded like a particularly angry smallblock Chevy...

I'd love to hear both in the 'flesh'.

Memory was playing tricks on me - the Guzzi was at puke, yes, but a different year to the blown bikes.
The blown BMW just sounded like a BM usually does, the Velo roarer sounded like a mild Triumph, but the AJS was as i said, very like a smallblock Chevy on heat.
All the Puke meetings just blend into one....only the noises and the stink of the toilets stays in the memory.

Oh that odd i would have thought the Roarer would have sounded more like a single? but an esp loud one........
Come to think of it though can't recollect what a tandem Rotax kart sounds like?
I will scan the Roarer story sometime bloody interesting bit of kit it was.... at the time.
I can remember Ivan Rhodes staying at our place years ago he was more interested in the cutlery than the BSA's.......

They dont normally run long enough to be able to have a decent listen

Yeah, I know what you mean with events like that.
Always meant to get along to a Classic festival but have had too much racing of my own on, not a bad thing though.
One day...
