Its true ya know.
Back in the days of when I was an impoverished grass track racer,I made an airfilter from my mums old tights.I could'nt afford one of those fancy foam jobbies.Now big singles running on methanol are a bit of a b*****d to start,and sure enough she backfired through the carb,.....
I managed to put the fire out before the frame and seat got too badly damaged.
"Hello,is that Trackstar equipment?One foam airfilter please!"
