Agreed, I'm in awe that they made that Vincent that fast.

Also amazed that these 30+ yr. old hybrids can circulate at the pace they do. They're nudging modern 600 Supersport times.

yes a 1.36 is moving on a bit . still 3 seconds off the supersport lap record but as you say those times would put you at the front of a national supersport race
not bad for an old 2 valve motor in a steel frame !

when i raced old 250's and 350's i would always see how my times compared to the 600's . they were never as fast of course [ old man on an old bike ] but
i would have a look at the mid field times and aim to be within a couple of seconds of them . the trouble with comparing yourself with other classics is you can easily think
you are fast just because you are beating slow riders , the times young lads trying hard on 600's do soon bring you back to reality !

If I remember correctly, Uncle Sammy, Scunny and I had a wager on the result some years ago.
A beer was the bet I think.
How about we revive that bet?  :D

Cheers,
Brian

I'm an OAP now Brian and can't afford to be sending MORE money to Australia, haha.

Haven't found any video yet.  Here is the International Challenge race report from Australian Motorcycle News:

OK...........I've thrown the cat out the window and kicked the dog, now it's time to pay up. >:(

You may not be a drinker Simon but I'm sure you must imbibe somthing.
Let me know what will take to clear the bet and I will sort it out.

Cheers,
Brian
