Swedish Steel or Austrian Iron
« on: May 23, 2008, 06:43:27 pm »
SO, with a few hours to kill after months and months over garage toil, we finally got it right.

I have been buttering up a local Dirt Bike magasine here for as long as I can remember, and we it all came together this week.

This is what we had:



















After a few laps, the youngest test rider ripped this one off:

and then a few laps later showed us this:

The full magasine article will come out next month but suffice to say they were impressed. Top of the list of improvements has got to be brakes, but suspension is #2.
They also commented that power delivery, not quantity was a big factor for them.


All I need to do now is go practise, as I have offically run out of excuses :)
