Definitley agree with Ali, even though I'm a foot shorter and 5 seconds a lap slower.
By the time you've put clip ons and rearsets on a Monster you have to be some sort of freak to ride it fast..........

thanks for the help fellas - will keep 'em peeled for a ss!

It is interesting that the Monsters seem to be showing more at the front of late.

I'd heard that the geometry of the SS lent itself much more to racing (no great surprise) and that the Monster was more of a cow.

No doubt Dumski will produce us a spreadsheet/html/xml table that'll provide all the stats/feedback/analysis and bs that we never wanted.

I think we'd all be near as dammit as quick regardless of bike, it's just a matter of comfort, especially as NE want to amalgamate all next years meets into one 84 lap race of all the uk circuits in one day......

It's for the benefit of all I tell ya!
