Used to belong to 200mph.org - done well over 200 so cant be arsed to go there now as the forum is a ego massage tool for some of the shops and tuners! IMHO of course.
Bike went to Manchester in the end.

I remember when that was up for sale, very nice but a smidgeon too bling for my taste. What kind of 1/4 would it do?

Hi,

Out of interest, is that usuable on the road or is it purely for drag strip work?

How does the long swing arm affect the handling?

Cheers, Andy.

Fat tyre option - show only, no grip and bad handling. Long Spondon arm (about the same length as the photo one) with standard wheels was brill on the strip and ok on the road -only slowed the steering up a little but rock solid in slow sweepers. Did 9 sec flat @ 170mph first time out at the strip so it must have been good as I am heavy and crap.
