"Maybe the method was not the best/nicest way of having to do that but it was the ONLY way for it to happen."
Absolutely correct-and that's how it happens in racing.
As it happens there are all sorts of ways in which you could modify a 583 or 618 bike to make it faster which are illegal-and for most of them the only way to prove it would be to strip the engine. I for one didn't believe that Doms bike was illegal-but it could have been-it has now been officially proved to be completely class legal. So once again, well done to Dom for riding the wheels off it and proving to you all that it can be done-and with only a K&N filter and slip on cans-so there is actually a bit more to come-not that it's needed................
Also very well done to Antonye for having the courage of his convictions-you may not all have liked it but it has silenced the detractors once and for all.
