No. It's just that everyone else was asleep!

Aye...40 odd 250 proddie bikes. That was always fun.

Good find!
There's LOTS of talk in the commentary about the lead bike being faster in a straight line. It didn't seem to have much more outright top speed, but it did punch out of the corners well. It had a noticeably deeper pitch than the RGV's, but then maybe the NSR's did anyway?
So whats the skinny? Is anyone prepared to comment all these years later?

I'm more than happy to comment, as I was actually there. Dave Coles bike was fast, but so were the bikes of Grant Rammage, Johnny Hepburn, Tony Sampson, Mike McCutcheon (sp?), Loren Poole's and later...Bruce Ainstey's. Mine was as fast as theirs but no faster. It had a trick CDI unit in it (the one Kawasaki NZ had imported for Simon Crafars KR1), and I ran it on AV gas and pre mix. Other than that...hand on heart...it was as we made all ten.

I'm sure there were other fast 'examples' in the field, but they were probably not getting ridden all that well so it didn't matter.

Nah. It's my skeleton leathers. They're cursed I tell ya.

A split lip here and there. The odd black eye. Quite well considering.

I thought it was bad form for the commentators to be bagging him about cheating, not the type of thing that would be publicised to the audience nowadays. especially how he got caught up to nearer the end.

I agree. He was cheating no more than anyone back in the day. He just rode the thing really well. Dave Cole is much like Bruce Ainstey to race against. Mega mid corner speed, and smooth as.
