Just goes to show the big difference between the theory (from reading a few books on the subject) and practice (from people who actually do it for a living)!

As the bloke in the orthopedic shoes says, I stand corrected. :lol:

Yes, same fella. He is living on the Isle of Man, and I believe he is still tuning engines today.

fastdruid - it takes a strong person to stand up and openly admit he has made a mistake - Kudos chap!

Thanks.

I've ridden a slick tuned NC30 and it (apart from the brakes which were on that occasion feeling a little wooden) was most ace.
