I think SCTA should have a new class for us slower bike riders..

We could call the new class.........  Bike-on-a-Rope.  ie; 1000CC A/G - BR.

Here's how I see it working. 

We could take a really fast bike and rider (like John and his busa) tie a short rope to it and he could tow a slower class bike. The slower bike would get credit for 75% of the speed obtained by the faster bike.......

Got to be more exciting than wheel on a stick......Any takers??

1000cc R/AD (Rope A Dope)?  

Or a fixed steel tube between bikes so you CAN'T chicken out and let go.

They call those chain races.  Here in Winston Salem  NC at Bowman Gray they take a race car and chain another car with engine removed to it,,, the front driven car has no brakes and the rear car has the brakes,,, man it is wild.

1/4 mile round track bull ring racing,, seems stupid to me but it draws a crowd.

OK Im in. I will do what ever it takes to get my 125 license on a 250 Ninja . Being towed by a Busa will work better than what I have tried so far.
They said I could do great things. If I have enough rope. :-D
