I wish Alan the best of luck....but will be very suprised if a bike built by 'Geetech' lasts the qualifying let alone the race.

I'll send him a note. :) That made me laugh as they apparently had a fuel pump issue the first day. Funny thing is he's complained about some of the "400's" that race against the SV's. Our rules allow overbore to 460 due to the class originally starting out as 450's many many years ago. Of course they don't make them anymore, and once the FZR's came out in the late 80's it became a 400 class. Honda's and Kawi's were never imported here by the manufacturers so everyone that races them imported them.

So what's your real name so I can watch it on live timing?

Alan is on a Honda now, guess the GeeTech bike had issues.....

3.5mph improvement, not bad, not bad at all, if you get a camera on boaed point it backwards, good to see most of the field :excited
