[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 48936, member: 60"] thats a lot of technology and equipment to accurately get to measurements that I guess must have been obtained by 'seat of pants' somewhere. For the seat of Pants method, You cant beat Mervin Stratford who has developed his pre war 250 Rudge over 50 years (he used to overtake me on my Norman B3 twin on the way to work in 1961 on one of the Rudges he still races) I saw him beat a field of yamaha two strokes at Pembrey one day - magic stuff. I said to him one day in the paddock "that frame looks a bit bent to me the rear wheel is not in line with the front its at an angle." "I know" said Merve "Its supposed to be, thats my Cadwell short circuit frame I dont use it at some circuits"..... [/QUOTE]
