Dunno, ask Ginge cos he was timing. Tbh I wasn't bothered about actual
times, I was having too much fun.

Well I dunno, which is why I asked.

 

Figured you for a race fan, hence the mild surprise.

I like watching it, but not overly into the ins and outs of who's who,
who's won what championship and when etc, IYSWIM.

Oh it just *had* to be more than the Harley didn't it!!!?

Why couldn't it be 62.3?

 

Lol, at least that's one person not trying to over compensate
in the hp department ;-)

 

It would be a pleasure as always.

 

Well I was, but after doing big bore, high compression, gas flow, high
lift long duration cams, race ignition, hooj flatslide carb and free
flowing exhaust you still manage more than me from a flat twin with half
the capacity.

I wish I'd not cheered you on at Snet now, you big power, low capacity
vee twin bastard.

 

Trackdays seem to do that to me too - I could never put in a good time
for whatever reason and always seem to improve over practise,
qualifying and the races too.

My best lap in qualifying at Donington was a 1:32 and that was on the
old engine at ~54 bhp. It's a shame it then pissed it down as Donington
is a horrid track in the wet and my times went up by 15 seconds a lap!

This is UKRM and I will defend my corner like a man possessed until
the end of time if needs be!

Nice sound effect. No wonder Harleys have homoerotic connotations.

Only when sliding down the track!

 

Donington is *really* slippery in the wet - it's horrid. Once you're
used to it, it is great fun but not ideal for racing on!

BTW my 748 has twice the power, but I really couldn't care less.

Running right? It's a Harley. They normally sound like

Ah yes, the sound of billet $NAFF_ADD_ON being polished with old copies
of "Gay Times".

I thought all you Harley boys carried a man-size tube of KY in one of
those little leather tool rolls slung over the sissy bar.

 

The KY roll is slung below the bottom yoke. Do you know nothing?

But where do you put mount it on the bike?
