Absolutely TWK - quite agree!

This is a very interesting thread hearing what the riders are up to now! I think Neville Tatum still rides - possibly Longtrack, don't know if anyone can confirm? I know he took an upright machine from TrackPlus last year and he rode at Herxheim in Germany I believe.

Good photo DJ. Looks like Vic White at the back, 3rd from left.

Thanks for that tech info. All sounds interesting!

That is why I made the comment RS. Difficult to ascertain how fast they were going but if the electric motor does not offer sufficient engine braking you wouldn't be able to slow the bike enough to then power round the corners. I don't know enough about electric motors to know whether they can be 'tuned' to increase or decrease engine braking effect. Interesting concept though - I wonder whether Egon is putting his own money into the project?

Thanks for the link. Speedway bikes rely on engine braking - would this be a issue for electric powered speedway bikes?

You could always get those things you fasten to the forks that go in between the spokes - that sounds great! I had one of those on my push-bike when I was a kid! Not sure how you deal with the smell though!!

Correct x 2

I have sent you a PM New Science Yes.

I very much doubt that. You can't just make a loss every year just to avoid tax. It leads to access to finance drying up and suppliers not supporting you. Worrying situation.

......or pensioners getting in on the cheap!

Who?

Newcastle Speedway is the best in my opinion.

..............then who is it then?

I wouldn't let the idiots get to you Glyn - don't let them have the satisfaction! I have just put a genuine question about Chris Holder on the Speedway Discussions sub-forum and it didn't take long to get a childish reply. I do wonder sometimes.....
