From being a knackered old wreck it had been transformed into a nitrous breathing LC eater, then back to being a tired old wreck if not quite so knackered. A standardish top end had been procured and rebored, an ne crank inserted and the Suzi was all set for a few years of graceful Sunday bend swinging and daily commuter duties. Alas, it was not to be. The first signs of impending further lunacy were felt when an article about the Earlystocks racing club appeared in a national bike magazine. That sounded like a good start I mused.
Any bike is eligible as long as it has a twin shock rear end and is air cooled.
I cast my mind back to the late seventies and tried to remember the last air cooled twin shock hot poop proddy racers of the time. Unlimited class would see the Laverda Jota and the GS1000s as being the ones to beat. Probably the early GSXs would rule the roost there. Plans began to formulate. A couple of months later, the results for the first seasons racing were published.
