There you go Glen, Kirk and one for Jill.

This is as close as I could get. And my camera zoom is weedy at best.

Geezuz mate. I've said it for years, 'long bikes give me the shits!!' Shock mounts breaking, rear wheel rod ends breaking - causing chains to fling off. All the LCR bikes that have come into NZ need to be thouroughly gone over and have a full on maintenance program implemented. What happens when they sell them to 'poorer' teams in the future?? Are they gunna know what to replace and when?? Are they going to have the money to replace all the said bits??
I think that the speeds that they do, they are bloody dangerous on our bumpy circuits! They certainly should not be allowed to do street circuits. How many long bikes suffer serious gear failure immediately after racing the street rounds?? LOTS!!
I think I'll stick to my post classic rig............. now, was that the Busa or the BMW..........

thanks!

So you've never seen any failures on short bikes then? because I can think of a few, and one of them was the rear shock mount breaking last weekend and I think it more likely the chain breaking took out the rod end not the other way around

I doubt "poorer teams" will be buying them because of the cost of buying them in the first place

Dunno how many long bikes suffer serious gear failure after doing street circuits? probably no more than short bikes

Anyway I heard there might be an LCR in your future?

In short, More people will die on long bikes due to component failure. Nuff said.
