You all entered the series with the rules in place and in your mind, all you 583 BB guys have said all along your bikes are not as good, first it was calipers, then suspension, then the weight of the wheels... etc etc....

The rules haven't changed, only the interpretation of them.....

Win because you are the best.... and prove all the others wrong....

"When the flag....... you know the rest "

LMAO

Have you been assimulated by the " collective "

It's about accepting that there is now a race within a race.

I hope you don't mind if we use the same track ??

Only if you dont get in the way...................l:P

I'm most of the time in the grass... I might just bother Dom

Ian, Weeksy, at the risk of me sounding even more boring..............

the pistons on the BB kits do not provide enough compression, particularly on the later bikes.
Yes, you can do some barrels work, BUT as Rich has found, there is STILL a lack of compression which does not help the BHP by much. You cant touch the head tho.
Alan & Rich have had many conversations on this, they both know their machinery so as you can imagine, they are not giving up - but it takes time and also money to take other avenues.

Andy - who rode our bike at cadders said he was fine on the bends and able to pass inexperienced riders - anywhere except from the start/finish straight, where well ridden 620's were trouncing him for acceleration.

This thread seems to be going down the wrong route at the moment.




SO:
Back to the original post: Dom, your chart is great mate

Lets face it, he won.... that's it....

I'd put £1000 on Geoff not winning on a 675.

Taking nothing away from Geoff, he won both races, and set the fastest lap, he rode a blinder and he's a top bloke too.

Again, this is not about having a 620, 675 or 583.

It's about recognising the CLEAR difference in machines.

Castle Combe, Snetterton, Donington, Cadwell GP and probably Brands Indy will only prove what an advantage the 620's have, and that's FINE.

I think we've all come to terms with that.

This thread is about recognising that the series is not even, or even close to being even, and therefore, what do the 583 & 675 guys have to race for?

Top non-620 in 8th place?

WOW, send the 620 engine back Louigi.

I want to win, and the only bikes that are capable of winning are 620's.

What is the big deal of having seperate points tables AS WELL AS the overall points table?

Seriously people, get a grip.
