Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

That be one of those 170HP ones me thinks. Not to put a dampner on it the track has been modded around the back but still way faster than us.

Amazing how that bike pulls so strong in top gear. I didn't think the music was too much. Sometimes you can barely hear the bike.
Just to put this in perspective, these guys are doing 1:36 and 1:37 times at Philip Island for the Island Classic, right? That's friggen amazing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would put them mid pack in a WSB race about 10 years ago.
They're not just fast for bikes of that era, they're fast for any bikes of any era.

I've just got back from Sydney after attending this meeting. Although Cam Donald was fast, he was being kept honest by Michael Dibb (Honda). From memory Dibb won three of their five races. At the Barry Sheene meeting in New Zealand last October Cam told me that the bike was making about 140 hp. I'm not sure if that is still the case but the corner speeds and lean angles have to be seen to be believed.

I went to the Motogp at Philip Island in 2004 and from memory the front row qualified at 1:31 or thereabouts, so these old bikes (with their young riders) are seriously fast.
In the video that Ozman posted the link to you can see the tacho needle waving all over the place. For some reason this bike still has a cable driven tachometer. Keeping it period maybe.
