There's a bit of Honda monkey bike with a stretch swingarm from some angles...
It should feel lively with that weight and power.

Re: Oliver's Mount spring cup meeting April 13/14
Got the van parked up, just about room for two camp beds in the back, so we should be warm enough at night. Not looking great weather-wise but in the interests of stabilising internal and external liquid levels I'm in the marquee and on the beer. Bands are on, so all good. https://i.postimg.cc/9zftH...

Re: The RD400 drag bike
In our defence we were running into a 20mph headwind which must have knocked a bit off the top speed :lol: I would be more than happy with the times you and Tony achieved. I think you both did really well 8) 8) I wonder if Tony has seen my data I found in my previous post yet :?: :eh: :shh: :lol: C...

I've paid for the Thursday night.
Anyone else fancy a rideout on the Friday, and perhaps meet up with an incoming group?

Re: The RD400 drag bike
I spent the first few runs trying to optimise traction control. I had to turn it off to burnout, but then turn it back on again before staging. That shouldn't have been a difficult task but the bike didn't like it at all, and in one occasion I had to kill the engine and reset everything by turning t...

Re: The RD400 drag bike
We'll be riding into a strong headwind at Santa Pod on Sunday (just getting my excuses in early!).
But at least it looks dry.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Blade forks reduce the fork limits, and also the turning circle. It takes a bit of getting used to. I used to allow the bike to drop into the inside of a turn (at slower speeds) then pick it up again by adding throttle. Balance the two and it looks easy. However- Storms are known to stall (especiall...
