Had a friend who raced bikes - we used to compare notes about speed at various points on some of the tracks we both ran (short story, he was faster in a straight line, but I was quicker in the twisty bits). He was killed riding his street bike back to the Puget Sound after racing in Spokane
I wrongly presumed from your username that you had in your younger days raced Yamaha TD racing bikes. I had some experience with the TA and TZ bikes. The latter was unbelievable. I was never crazy enough to be competitive. Sorry about your friend, I lost a lot of friends that way too, and sorry for the thread drift.
