Cheers Mate, yep the old power to weight ratio trick (plus i am a short ass)

2 smokes have there place  :o

yer we must have fluked it this time, probaly woulda worked with a jam tin and some water pipe, we just hope the Hirashima screamer stays together  ??? that would be good if the motorcycle gods could watch down on us for that (hint hint) or would that be asking to much  :-\
