Re: Vespa Dry Lake Racer lives...
Some media from the 2013 Oil Stained Brain exhibition I attended.

Re: Rule Clarification-Requirement clarification request?
My 2 cents (just because I come from a systems engineering background and have dealt with a lot of requirements definitions for large complex projects... The best way to analyse what a requirement should state is look at the "fit criterion" and then judge if the requirement would meet that...

Re: BUB has a new name.
Oh dear I might have to start saving - they have a scooter class if I am reading the rules page right. edit: unfortunately the FIM person who created the rules doesn't know much about scooters. 1) They have a moped class - a moped is something (motorbike or scooter) which is speed limited to 50km/hr...

Dave Oh - I am seeing them pretty clearly :wink: Found 2 major ones on the manifold I did 89.6mph on within a few seconds.

Re: Supercharged CBR250 build
Tiny - I haven't tried them myself but I am wondering if something like this would help?

If they did then I always thought there must be a way (Vespa Labs patent pending) to turn the colour reading into a signal that could be displayed while riding.
