I've been reading and watching on youtube a lot lately about another story about a privateer: John Britten, and his radically different home-made bike from New Zealand. He built every piece of a 1L grand prix racing bike <br /><br />It's very romantic to think that in the early 90's, one man on a small budget could build a bike in his own garage, take on the Ducatis, the Suzukis, and all the big names with their teams of engineers, and beat them all through determination and clever design. Remarkable story.

And you must have felt better at the end of the year when Prost missed out on the championship by half a point. If he'd come second in a full-length race in Monaco he would have scored six points - as it he was, he only got 4.5 for winning a shortened race.Hummingbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113527140525427427noreply@blogger.com
