Rohan,
'And you have all the race wins to back this statement up ?
This would be interesting to explore on a dyno, wouldn't it....'
My racing history mainly involved campaigning an old Triumph 500 twin in Allpowers C Grade against big two strokes and four cylinder superbikes, the bike was fairly trick so I was still competitive. However from all that wasted effort and bullshit, I actually learned a few things.I built my Seeley 850 back in the early 80s, and because I was horrified at what was in the motor I never raced it until fairly recently . I think my record of wins could have been considerably better had I actually believed in the piece of garbage. As I said, never predict outcomes when developing your bike. I believe a dyno is a useful tool in the right hands, the info it delivers can set a base line for the next step, if the improvement works on the track.
