A big part of motorcycling has always been building machinery to cater
for suicide jockeys. This mob seem to be the industry's answer to Dr
Nietschke, unless they take a holistic engineering approach to their
machines and engineer the frames and suspension to cope with the HP
and torque of the motors.
If all they're doing is chucking ridiculous amounts of HP into frames
which were built for much less power, there's going to be dead bodies
everywhere. But hey, that very idea has been around motorcycling
since the year dot. In fact that's what turns so many on.
Moths and flames come to mind. Buy shares in coffin makers. This
could be the solution to t the economic crisis and global
over-population. They should get a government grant. As long as
those coffins are made from environmentally friendly, renewable
resources, I see no problem.
