Mini Twin Police!!

Can I just say, welldone to all of us for this honest thread, lets hope things do change, for the better for everyone

It's great it's getting sorted but I still detect far to much joy at what should be a fairly minor admin matter.

Yes great, let's get peoples bikes checked but the vast majority of people are playing by the rules. For those that feel they're being held back from being at the front by the vast army of cheats in front of them, all I can say is you're in for a nasty shock.
The only change that will come from this is those that are frustrated at their lack of progress will realise it's their riding that needs attention not everyone elses bikes.

Totally agree with Gordon. After all this is in place, i very much doubt the finishing positions will be that different. But atleast you know your on a level playing field...

Tony, I would get in touch with Matty and see how you could help the club on that side. I doubt we would get involved in the actual running of the Dyno but an extra set of hands the club could alway use.

Nowhere near that long Andy. A couple of minutes a bike. Roll it on, strap it down, run it, take it off.

It could be done in a lunch hour for 21 bikes.

and of course they could also be done during scrutineering in the morning and on the night before the racing.

Well done Tony. You might even end up with a little business for yourself there

Back in 2007 (I was on F400 at the time) N.E. club brought a dyno to the May meeting at East Fortune.

Worth asking someone in the club if they can remember where they got it from?

PS, it's true to say the minor infringements happen a lot - quite often innocently, but like has been said, I dont beleive there is whole scale mass cheating going, you'll still find the guys that can do 1:05's will be still be doing them after the crows have flown in & gobbled up all the worms.

On the flip side how many bods will be running around frantic at lunctimes trying to sqeeze 3hp out of their set up when the've been dyno'd at 69 on the sae method! Could be fun.....

Thats what i was working on that bike scrut is at the same time.
Tony good luck with gettin involved with the clubs

You realise how many big bore kits are going on Ebay if this happens?

[QUOTE=Berlin;2521893]I think they should also introduce a weight penalty system too

I'm a big fat man and its not fair that the blokes I'm competing against aren't carrying 7 stone (and sometimes more) of lead on their bike!

There should be a saddle bag system loaded with lard (for realism) and you have to strap your saddle bags on the bike before the race

I can offer you a simple solution to this issue.

£35(ish) per month will buy you a gym membership. This amount will easily be saved by reducing the booze intake, and eating less food. This way, it's easy to make yourself competitive in terms of your weight.


Competitive bike racing (for those that wish to move up and progress) should include fitness. Strapping 10 stone of weight to each rider that isn't obese is not really an option that I would find acceptable or satisfying.

I'm assuming your post was meant in a slightly sarcastic way, and I can appreciate the need for a weight controlled class. However, it should not be there to allow fat oafs to compete in a sport where fitness IS a factor.

If this is put in place, I do hope it is.
The fast lads will still be fast, but atleast they'll have the reward of doing it in a true minitwin championship.
So as we have seen, lads will stop walking away to other clubs or championships!
I personally never raised this issue out of contempt for being slow and overweight, it was purely from the side of integrity. As a Chartered Surveyor I deal with millions of pounds of payment on a monthly basis, so integrity is my highest if not only trait.
So im sorry if as Tony said feathers have been ruffled, but at the end of the day we are the ones paying alot of our own hard earned cash to take part in this sport.
So anyhow, can Tony work a Dyno with only one arm?

There's no feathers being ruffled and I'm all for the enforcement of the rules. I'm just against the "that'll sort them" attitude and the presumption of cheating going on at the front. And that's what you mean, because no one gives a **** what's going on behind them do they?

Anyway, has anybody got a standard motor for sale as mines developed a..er..fault.
