yeah, they are running really short gearing, look at the size of the rear sprockets, they're like dinner plates, probably geared to do about 135mph flat in top.

I've raced with Stu Avant a few times, top bloke, did a quick google to see if he was still around and came across thishttp://www.motorsportretro.com/2009/10/stu-avant-%E2%80%9Crunning-on-empty%E2%80%9D-part-1/ It's worth a read.

I remember Neville Hiscock was killed racing in south africa in '83. Both of them raced in SA from a number of years

[Redmohawk]

Love it.

Good find Tony, watching Robbie throw that Kat around was fucking inspiring.

Brilliant/crazy stuff.

A carbon fibre frame in '83, and Ducati still haven't got it right now. Awesome find!
