that is very tempting but I think it would honestly be a world of hurt mentally and monetary but it is a mad gut feeling I have!!
luckily I am surrounded by sensible people and they will stop me doing it.

Did they ever sort out the problems that caused it to catch fire on a regular basis?

Riedy reckons the oil system was plumbed in incorrectly blowing oil in the rockers rather than scavenging it think last time i spoke to him, and thats been resolved so hopefully no more fire !!!

admittedly the sag is a better looking, but the thorpedo has a reputation and a following all of its own, rather than another sag lol.

its something very unique, i was never that keen on the later nascar look but the original black beast was cool, and blinking fast when on song..
