More power isn't always a good thing in Motorkhanas. It becomes way too easy to overdrive and hit the corners with way too much speed. That said, having it is a good thing, using it is the important part. When I first started out, I found having less power helped me drive better, and I still overdrove and probably am still doing so some now. So a bike head, is probably a bit OTT for this type of sport.

yeah... like putting superchargers on and going slower than you did when you drove your friend's 1100

but it's HILARIOUS when you lend it to someone and it takes off on them and scares the crap out of the timing officials (sorry about that)

It was pretty funny Simon. Poor Billy was changing his undies after that one. I looked back over the years and yes the times have barely changed overall. it isn't till you look at individual tests you realise things are better. The mystery test make things look worse than they are. But yes, frustrating when you put money into a car only to let it down by driving like crap.
