Brakes??????

Ask any of the guys who threw their 600's around at Mallory earlier this year - or even those who rode/ride them on the road (Mutters & Doug are the most nearest ones to me, to recall) - they dont USE their brakes, road or track!
Whereas the larger monsters will need a bit of a tweak/yank occasionally on the brake (or a 'flutter' ) the M600 rider when tanking it relies totally on the gears, to keep the momentum going to enable him (or her) to keep up with, and maybe overtake his mates.

Mutters? - maybe you can help out here?

I was hoping to 'assist' AK in 'having a go' for this next year - will forwards dosh as soon as rules have been DEFINATELY confirmed.

Like WJB, we think the 600 is the way to go, as there is a greater amount to meddle with otherwise. Also: We could run to getting an M600 - and prob do at least one season of racing, for less than the cost of getting a 620ie.
