After the meeting on Wednesday night,As Dave was leaving on his busa, Ian commented on how good the 4's sound, I have to agree it did sound good, but in my opinion nothing sounds better then a MV
Listen to this.

Could'nt agree with you more Frankie. Back in 1976 at the Aust TT held at Laverton air base I chased world champion Agostini (with a bit of slip streaming) on his 500 MV four off the line for about a quarter of a lap on my Barry Sheene production works 500 Suzuki twin. I can still hear the howl from those 4 un-muffled megaphones and had to say to myself "yes, this is really happening - now concentrate" I held second for half a lap then got slowly swamped by the just launched Suzuki square fours.
I got a chance to listen to the MV again when he lapped me with 2 laps to go. Ago finished second to Kenny Blake with me 8th.

Bloody 2 old farts, in 76 I was cloths pegging playing cards to my bike frame but could never make it sound like that  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Awesome stuff there Ken, I didn't know that you did road racing, I was there as a spectator, I always wanted to do road racing, but a couple of kid came along to early, so could never afford to do it, I couldn't really afford to do dirt bike racing either, but I managed to fined the $$$$$ to do it. That meeting at Laverton brings back some memories, the coarse was a simple one, they put hey bales in the center off the runways so they went up one side to the end & came back on the other side, from memory the course was shaped a bit like a T.
Anyway, it was a hot day, so this bloke decided that the spectators needed to be entertained between the races, so he ran stark naked across the track, I think he forgot that the tar was very hot & had to run as fast as he could, in doing so he tripped over the hey bales in the middle and fell in a heap on the other side of em, he then got up as quick as he could and ran to the other side where the ppl made a opening to let him through,It was bloody funny, yes he did provide some entertainment for us, it would have bean much better if a female had of joined him ;D

The days racing was fantastic I enjoyed it very much, I must say tho, I enjoyed Colder raceway better, that was Ago's first appearance here in Aus.

Hey Will lolly pop or ice cream sticks made a better, deeper sound - that was in 56.

Cable ties are the go now, and when you want to arrive in stealth you just turn them away from the spokes, almost as good as having a button on your bike  ;D ;D ;D
