Shows how quick of the mark the old 400 was
My first road race bike, bought from Paul brookes I think in 1987. Only to never finish a race as the left pot kept on failing. Nice bike tho it had Microns and a set of tt100 tyres that i never changed.

Definitely keep em coming, if you had the misfortune to fall off at any of the major race meetings 20 odd years ago we may even have met briefly, if I had to help remove you or the bike from the track!! I still have a box of race programmes from around then.

Good stuff, I,m no expert but your position / style in the first photo has a modern off the bike look to it if you get my drift, ( no pun intended ).

Exiting gerrards at Mallory in 4th or 5th trying my best to keep the front end on the tarmac, only to find that dropping it 2 gears and feathering the brake into the lake ss`s was the wrong approach as there is NO engine braking AT ALL from the Wankle engine what so ever !!!!!

But awsome power ..
