narrower engine, not much extra weight , just the weight of one drive gear

ahhh true narrower but longer, easyer to hide/balance... BUT they all have two cranks thats the heaviest engine part... lots more weight?

Yes, every year, great times.
Funny, I was in Napier just yesterday at 5 Star Suzuki, which is close to the old Onekawa Track. I had a drive round, its full on industrial now.
Always enjoyed Onekawa, in spite of seeing the hospital a couple of times ! Gaz.

RD riding god , i like that ;-) ,

I was down South this weekend and got to the track to watch the racing.

Pre 82 in the South Island is a gem, with some great riders around. You should try and have a look.

Talking about riding gods? He may not be on an RD, but #57 was looking good out there. I like someone who can raise their game when they are challenged.

Ya shoulda said you were there and droped into the KB pit and dun a intro, I was on the blue RD took a 3rd in PC82 and in race 2 started from the back for a play. Wasent you that walked through our pit before racing (pit on the concrete with bikes and cages suporting KB stickers)

PS: diesel never takes it easy, hence why hes always at the sharp end.

Could have been, I had a good look through the pits and enjoyed seeing some of the bikes that were there.

I did not talk with anyone really, but did try and locate Joanne (I think she is Joni on this site), as we have a mutual friend, but did not manage to find her.

If #57 was taking it easy, then even more repsect goes out to him. Would love to see him at full noise.

Im back up north again, love your city, but too cold for me.
