No- Too hard to convert my bike back
yes i would redo my bike to meet those rules
Im a little older than you ( DAMMIT! ) and can remember lots of crashing. The reality is that modern frames and tyres feed a LOT more load into the suspension and its an arguable point that suspension has not kept pace to the same degree.
Why do commuter bikes never intended for the racetrack ( eg SV650, ER6 etc ) come with damper rod forks that is technology that dates back around to approximately the 50s? The answer is simple LOW COST, LOW COST, LOW COST. Put them on the track in standard form and they are a wobbly jelly, even many road riders complain about this issue. That there are some people out there who advocate making no changes to the front defies belief
Im dissappointed that you didnt mention that in the face of a couple of regular posters with a somewhat argumentative disposition that I usually manage to reply with polite or semi polite restraint... But I am happy to doggedly defend a fully rational belief in conservative politics!
And happy to entertain!
22 voters thus far, 12 for status quo. This is a small sampling and to that end it would be interesting to know how many ProTwin riders have not frequented this forum. I.e is there a silent majority? I am saying this not to spurn another argument as such, I am saying that this may be the reality, given also that those with the most to say is a very small sampling and some ( including myself ) neither ride or are likely to ride ProTwins.
What about letting 2 Valve 750s in to pt as well (max 75hp)or is that getting too hard.That would be Ducati for us![]()

Haha, aint' that the truth, Robert. Deano kindly let me pit in his tent at Paeroa and I had to move his PT SV650, jaysus the front end might as well have had a couple of door closers for forks. With just a rear pit stand in place it would make an excellent rocking horse for the kiddies! Deano has got some serious skills getting the speed he does outta that thing.
Thinking about it now it actually felt just like my CBR after I blew a fork seal at Wanganui. It pushed like a mongrel on corner exit, was unstable under brakes and/or over the slightest road irregularity whilst cornering. It's not unrideable but it's fuggin' unpleasant and does nothing for your confidence.
Oh dear...you should!!! and even Micheal Laws on radio live as a good second best...
turn the radio to 1053AM or 1278AM in the mornings from 8:30am...makes for great listening til 12pm while you work.
Rememebr how I told you to join this site [something you may regret...but you got hooked] I was right wasn't I??
If all else fails you could just take the tread off topic in a vain attempt to bury the posts that people that don't live on here might have a chance of reading....
