Re: George Eyston's Thunderbolt
Yeah, one hell of a gearbox and it's sitting "somewhere", you would think someone would notice that in the corner of the shed. There was some great engineering in that clip. The same guy has posted some other excellent videos that I watched while working yesterday. Calls himself Scarf And ...

Re: Headshake at 170mph
Thinking more... what about bar-end weights? You didn't mention if you had any. Kawasaki released "ergo bars" for my street bike that were just 20mm higher at the ends (same inside mounting point so just a small angle change and they tripled the weight of the bar-ends to suit. Might be som...

Re: 200 mph plus bike tires
Nice work, there were a lot of people with tyre problems this year.
Gotcha is the 003's (and 002's) haven't been made for years.
I think the BT003 is now the RS10 and the BT002 is now the RS10R (best guess)

Re: 200 mph plus bike tires
Hey Nathan, I think all riders have the same questions. Tyre importers and manufacturers won't talk to you when they find out where you plan on using them as they just don't have enough data to know how the tyres will hold-up on the salt for mile after mile at full noise. Last year (our first year) ...

Re: Headshake at 170mph
Damn that was a spooky ride. Did well to collect the cheap cone and not the expensive Tag Heuer timing beam beside it though! That part of the 4 mile was pretty loose and cut-up by Wednesday, I know I had trouble finding a nice path through it and lost a couple of mph there every run. That would be ...

Re: 2018 Speed Week
It was an excellent week of racing and the whole even ran like clockwork. Kudos to everyone who made it happen. Of course, it wouldn't have happened without the tireless effort for 12 months by the committee and the huge amount of work on the ground for the racing week. This was only our second trip...
