I would definitely need some of those black pants, so the stains I would make would be less visible.
Fran, how much effect, both positive & neg, does the rider have on the actual driving? It seems the constantly moving weight shifts in directions sometimes different than the bike, must be huge and always just a bit unsettling?
The rider has huge input ...its very physical in the arms, shoulders and back as the rider you cant use your own weight to transfer. So you have to rely on the passenger and their timing is crucial
If Josh moves for and aft on the bike while over the right side of the bike/rear tire the bike will grip or understeer so throttle control is paramount along with passenger position at these times....
Keep in mind we are running on some wide slicks too so there is some serious G force to be taken into account..
NICE! Looks like you have a front line rig there Fran and a 1000cc engine :stunned: that must be a wild ride. Don't flick your counterweight, you need him.
Picture - The winning worm was from San Francisco at this year's Phillip Island Classic. Wade Boyd (also a Classic IOM competitor), very nice guy and his SO Christina are the team, no pressure on that relationship.....
You should bring your rig over next year, join in the fun.
