I taught them everything they know and still they manage to go faster.
They did learn how to piss off SCTA and that is something anyway. :wink:

The good thing is each bike can provide multipal splints, add a roll of duct tape and you have it covered.

....interesting.....duck tape can be used to cover quacks in wood , is this somehow related to splint car racing ?.....FMD , is it over yet?...lets keep it on the straight and marrow.One last thing no-one mentioned the "forks"......

No one mentioned the forks because the are leading link type forks.  Connected at the rear of the links.  They are known as "Earles" leading link forks.  Named after its inventor.  Such a name becomes more significant seeing that the forks are wooden.

The front forks are un-remarkable because they vary little from the original design.
They are rather British but BMW was the first to try and sell them to anybody in large amounts. :wink:
