I saw this one, too JU - and shared the same thoughts (sans cheese
grating), JP. I'm too big and heavy to ever be a jocky or a motorcycle
racer - not to mention the skills I don't have for either career change.
But, on the subject of *radical* modifications, perhaps I'll try some
the GuzziTech titanium ring gear to flywheel bolts...with the stock loop
flywheel, of course ;>

I always get a kick out of various attempts to lighten a bike and then see an overweight rider hop on. I've heard various reports of how the reduction of a pound is worth so many horsepower or mph. Anybody know what this is? It would be a good incentive for a diet. John Prusnek
