http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollie_Free Was told after being flagged-down by an official after the ESS race at Roebling that in no ucertain terms that "Rollies" will not be allowed at any WERA event. During practice it was discovered that an extra 500 rpm could be gained on the long front straight "in the Rollie" on the underpowered 250. Should innovation be blocked by uptight officials? What if Eddie Lawson had been banned from dragging a knee? ...and Rossi's extended-leg?
Speaking of knees, sounds like you might want to work on that knee slider before that extra 500rpm you think you need. Pardon my lack of sense of humor but I think they should have parked your ass for the weekend for fucking off like that.
I wouldn't have been able to stop laughing if I saw that. How the hell did your buddy hold the camera steady?
HAHAHAHA you rolled down your front straight like that for an extra 500 rpm? Hahaha I didnt even know shit could get that awesome!
Watching the guy in the white leathers do his remount going in to turn one was interesting. I award you a point for thinking outside the box. I award you no points for execution, the remount wasn't what you'd call....uh, graceful. Officials looked pissed. I figured you guys would get an earful after the race!
ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS! It was totally worth the chewing-out, and all the indignant bullshit that the haters will throw at you. That was a classic move. Next time, wear tear-away stripper leathers so you can get down to your skivvies! My eyes are watering I'm laughing so hard.
Amusing, if a bit whacked... off-topic, but why would you put '86-'87 first gen Ninja 250 16" wheels on a second gen ('88-'08) Ninjette? Weight? Did you run the 86-87 forks as well? I seem to remember they were even skinnier... -jim
