Hi Roy,

I agree. I think the Over 500 classics should have been put in with the post classic. Then people with a 750, 500 and 350 could do all 3.

The buying bikes idea did go wrong for BSA because they didn't know about the rule and somebody boought John Cooper's works Rocket 3. Wouldn't it be funny if something similar happened with a Paton or MV!!
I think it's quite a idea becuse it encourages people to spend less or risk loosing a lot of money. And it's an easy way to keep the competition in the realms of the clubman.

I must point out that there is no way I can afford an £18,000 bike which is why I race a 350 greeves.

I should also say that I think the way you and other were treated regarding qualifying this year was ooutrageous.
