Popular Post BR46 Posted September 16, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 16, 2021 Dan is one of my main competitors that I battle against.

Higher output ignition coil, went up one size on the main jet and ignition timing. We started out with 38 degrees advanced timing and we would do 3 or 4 power runs. Then back the timing off 1 degree and do 3 or 4 power runs. We the peak hp. starts going the other way you set the ignition timing to where you had the best power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is The cool thing about vintage motorcycle racing is everybody helps each other out. A few years ago I came up with a design for a disk brake on the 3rd wheel that keeps the sidecar stable under heavy braking. Dan asked me if it would be OK if he copied my design.....I said yes and gave him all the specs. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget what, it was quite a while ago. Something like airbags or abs. I might be thinking of this from Volvo. https://www.volvocars.com/intl/why-volvo/human-innovation/future-of-driving/safety/cars-safe-for-all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted September 17, 2021 Share #13 Posted September 17, 2021 Well, I sat there at the table And I acted real naïve For I knew that topless lady Had something up her sleeve I suspect Dan does too. Next race should be interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next race should be interesting. The forum needs more john prine references! Sorry to say I had to look that one up though, I guess largely because that song didn’t really float my boat. So owl have to try it again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
