A fool and his money.....

It's your whinging that's getting tired, not that that will let stop you continue to bore everyone with your bigoted ranting 😊 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of pollution caused by the building of electric bikes would probably equate to 50 laps plus on an internal combustion bike. Electric vehicles are not the future hence the recent sales decline and manufacturers dropping them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though perhaps just a carbon capped open class both for production and racing, battery tech has moved on and nothing wrong with a hydrogen powered bike etc. open you mind.

Dirty Buggane Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Are these so called legacy laps some how bringing in revenue, is it advertising or give us £10,000 and you get a run out on closed roads ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
