[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 39796, member: 2781"] These motors have proven to be extremely reliable and long lived in spite of the power levels . Their top rider suffered a horrendous crash , the machine spinning wildly in the air before impacting with great violence on the track . They removed the powerunit and dusted it off , returned it to the dyno and took readings , no repairs done . It still produced near its original power output . We have CD discs of their races and also the frightful crash . You get goose bumps watching it . Their sidecar racers leave the opposition behind like they are tied to stumps . They attach a rearwards pointing camera and watch the opposition fade away behind them . This with the 1300 two valve motor that the Australian rules permit , racing modern 4 cylinder machinery up to 1600 cc , OHCs four valve four cylinder Jap bikes from up into the mid 80s , and claiming up to 160 bhp , full trick cranks etc . A real tribute to the Ken Horner team , PEIs suggestions and our own Vincent and Irving creation . [/QUOTE]
