yes, but that was long long ago, now i just 'scare myself' on the occasional ride Tony. remember a fun tight TT back when my kids yz80 was on 'alky' [methanol], [1982/83--jeez the kids '42 or something now] that scared a few big bikes--looking around to find it as it went under them on corners haha. Memories aye. Cheers. ps, only problem i ever had on alky was using 'boyesen piggy back reeds' & the alky caused them to turn their toes up after a while & made it hard to start, had to turn them over during a meeting once but went back to steel reeds. Used to run an oily petrol mix through at end of day--park a long way away as to avoid smoking the pits out. Cheers again.
