That is really funny. I used to race a 500cc Triton in Allpowers races at Winton, and keep up with them. I don't know if I am a good rider, and I don't even believe in good riders - only good bikes. The rider adapts to the bike. That is the reason I would never race a modern bike - I don't want to crash that fast.I bet I'd ride by you like you were chained to the guardrail (Armco)
I was really surprised my bike was capable of grabbing the lead from three 1100cc CB750 Hondas, It should not be able to do that. It's motor is nothing.
I think some guys do less well because they are defeatist. Getting hosed-off when halfway down a straight is a common occurrence.
