I think that mybe you and I are on the same wavelength Peter.

I don't like the Superstock Superbike Supersports classess for one very simple reason.

The rules completely ban any kind of entrepreneurial engineering skills or initiative design. If the big bike makers dont build it then you can't race it.
I seem to remember Joey once building his own chassis using railway sleepers to keep it straight ?? Im sure I read this somewhere. If he did it now it would not be allowed.

And before someone points out that one off bikes are allowed in the Senior it is at ACU discretion..................cue big four moaning if they let one in.

The current Superbike class grew up out of the old TTF1 class but TTF1 allowed for one off specials. There was a single arm front suspension bike ridden in TTF1 by a guy called Mille Pajalic (I think) it was a wonderful creation with a Kawasaki engine and there were many others.

The Supersports class grew up out of the old TTF2 class there were guys here in Nothern Ireland doing things to 350 Yamahas two years before Yamaha thought of it :wink:

But all that talent and skill is lost now cos the big four say so :cry:
