Interesting David's comments about the "Starts" and how to shift your weight forward to unload the rear wheel and allow it to spin up, almost like a "Human clutch"..........I too learnt to do the same on our Honda 750/4 powered outfit. If you did not do this it would simply bog down and the starts were always hopeless. Against another Triumph powered outfit, he could always beat us to the first corner no matter what we did, the Triumph's low down torque so different to the Honda. I gave up "swinging" on the Honda after our spectacular crash in 2015. The rider who David know's, bought a Rapide off him back in about 2007 will probably get his wish to race a Vincent powered outfit soon, as a good friend of his has just bought one that he has been chasing for years. I am in the process of rebuilding the 1200 cc twin engine for it at present..........My guess is the difference in torque from the relatively stock Honda 750/4 will pale by comparison to the Vincent, the rider is no beginner to handling a racing outfit, so I'm sure it will be difficult to remove the smile from his face............. Good times ahead................. Thanks for the great photo's.
