More impressive is the torque it develops apparently... no figures though.

Re: Scomadi 400

Hi, I’ve been following the rider reports of the smaller cc Scomadi’s and they appear to be to be mixed. However the thought of a 400cc (and mainly the power that can deliver) makes me interested.

In my nearly 10 years on the LCGB Committee, and for the many years prior to that when I was attending LCGB events, I can never recall food, or any other, venders being paid to attend and trade at an LCGB event? No idea where th...

Re: Having a moan

During the period betewwn 1977 and 1992 over 30 people served on the LCGB committee with four of them contributing to the story. I have not received or heard any remarks from the other 25 or so saying they were left out, consider that before commenting on their behalf. Plus, if I had included stori...

Re: Sorry mate, I didn't see you.

Oh... the other one, and I must have a sensitive nose to it is the number of people smoking dope in cars too. Having a spliff at 7am whilst driving to your days work seems to be the thing to do now whether it's a one man builder business or one car I followed turned into a local high school so can o...
