Ha ha, well good watchin' you guys battlin' all night... You almost dragged all those young 16 / 17 year olds down the first straight every race... what is the top tube on that thing anyways?

I'm not too bad down the first straight (I need some bigger balls for that triple as well!!), just absolutely knackered come the third!!!!

19.5" top tube.  You not got any old school bikes to race Tony?  Mind you, I don't think I would be anywhere near you so don't bother!!! :daumenhoch:

No old school, I snapped everything I rode from back then  >:D

Best jump to manual that triple to start, don't be scared of that steep incline, just sail away over the middle and land your back wheel  immediately afterwards (to a 50/50 landing if you have too), safest way at speed... 8)

He's changed his tune a bit now and was surprised how fast some of the 'fat old blokes' were, quote 'especially that Tony Flemming character!!'
