That's much more fun than counting teeth on sprockets.

That's a top idea, if yours is faster, I might have to pop home to fetch the red bike

Be interesting to race you with the Scrambler with 46 teeth on the rear but only a single injector against a 796/1100 up to 60. Theres a rumour flying around Ducati to launch a smaller and a larger capacity. Dont believe it myself.

Well, as the club's official 'Road Safety Representative' anyway, I think adding 'Drag Race Safety Representative' won't be a problem.

Probs yes. Needs some thought. Didnt we think the same in belgium too after too many bottles.

Who knows I could well be on a 821 if not to my taste.

The role of 'Drag race safety represenative' should fit you to a tee JP

I was thinking more of rolling on the throttle in one gear from a set speed. It's the sort of thing I've done with mates on empty motorways across Europe to ease the boredom of a long motorway ride and to see whose bike has the best real world acceleration. It should reveal if the bikes have the same or similar gearing.
