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.

10 years ago I was fitter than a butchers dog ... and weighed 16 stone. I have a 52" chest and a 36" waist, if I lost every ounce of fat I have I'd weigh 15 stone. To weigh less, I'd have to chop a leg off.

Going to the gym is not going to make me 8 stone in leathers. However I'm racing against people of this weight with the same 72 BHP.

Maybe I could have an 8 stone head start?

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

Was never aimed at anyone, just the situation, I'd love to see all machines turn out to be standard !
Anyone wana buy some tank risers?

Glad to see humour lives on, after all someone did say all this was meant to be fun!
I'll see TC252 tonight as we ganin to watch that TT3D, so i'll encourage his approach to the club.

I don't think anyones feathers have been russled at all Mike. If it relates to me saying about a can of worms. That relates to people on here complaining about the 72 bhp rule when they know their bike is not Minitwin legal for various reasons.

No mentioning any names mind

Got me standard fork caps getting fitted as we speak (type)

There's a few cases in point about people breaking the rules innocently.

To name a few, the PAIR system, which does next to bugger all except cause a bit of popping and farting on the overrun, and costs nowt to get rid of. Or fork caps, I've seen quite a number of the carpimoto/matris fork kit caps on bikes which are illegal, yet are literally exactly the same function as the stock, preload only, fork cap. But they look purdy.

Yeah, i might paint me STD ones gold !

[yorkie_chris]

I was considering stamping my modified ones with C or R depending which adjustment is hidden inside which, but I think I'll leave them be. Just hope I/someone else can remember right = rebound.

So the removal of the pair system is illegal, that i never knew as all it does is put fresh air into the exhaust lol!
