I can't put my finger on it but something doesn't seem right. Like it's missing something...

If I make it to Grattan, it will too. Gearing is 16/46, actually.

I wish. Nope. Hard plank stays for now.

I've decided to give it a go in the next round of racing in the LW Twins class, against the SV650's and the like. Should be lots of fun!

That is an awesome idea, no joke, that sounds like it would be a blast. What is the displacement limit in that class? Would a KTM 690 make it in?

Okay, so it would make it.

Too bad about the street frame requirement for the 250's. An RS250 would be fun.
