Well, that's a shame. Not having a TV, I haven't seen it myself. Did you notice if they had to do endless chain adjusting and faffing about with the clutch? How did they cope with the starts. Many rollers or twitchers? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 What I meant by an NL rider would have them for breakfast was if he was on his speedway bike. These mx bikes cant properly broadside and look nowhere near as quick as a speedway bike. It just looks crap. Imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're entitled to your opinion that it's crap but speed wise there's very little in it with regards to lap times between the fast guys and NL Speedway riders. They can broadside but with the tyres it isn't the fast way around. However that is immaterial, it's a different sport and like saying MotoGP isn't as fast as F1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
