Good news Gabriel, all you have to do now is build the thing and go fast........easy really? :-D

As for our effort, we will also be campaining the V8, but as a sit on in the first instance, just to get some experience.

See you on the Salt,

I am under no illusions Steve, as you well know! Your name was mentioned at the Pod this weekend.....nothing bad so you are ok! It was the 10th anniversary of the Hyabusa, and we were with the Radical/Powertec stand. Lots of interest, with plenty of FAST bikes on show. Had long talk with Jack Frost. Regards, Gabriel.

The NSU engine as used in the Meunch Mammoth, if it's in a different frame, is it still a motorcycle engine?  Just sweeping up bits and pieces in the garage for next year . . . .

The NSU as used in the Munch Mammoth is a car engine.   Regardless of what frame you put it in its still a car engine.  Which begs the question.  If you put a car engine in a bike frame amd leave it there long enough does it become a bike engine?
