And bikes have bull dog bash would they like to be invaded by Mopar not really, everyone can appreciate great fast vehicles at there own events
And few attackers but if we all invaded other events it would be pointless
I have a reasonably fast very heavy radical car and have been really welcomed at Mopar, hot rod events and have made many friends but at any time I felt I was invading a particular event I would not be offended
( no comment please roady x )

See you all at the drags xxx

Best we all sell our 40year old oversized Rot boxes and go 2wheel JAP LOL! :D
Buy a 5grand bike and run tens all day long, put the rest of the money into a timeshare!!!
Fast bikes are just a mid-life crisis and an accident waiting to Happen?

Just imagine if Pete W. had fallen orf his bike at 100mph going through the traps, he wouldn't just be slightly dotty, he'd be very DEAD!!!!!

Only Joking Fella's, you just have fun, just something about seeing bikes at da Nats, don't seem right somehow???

I dont think, bikes should be allowed personally, unless we can run against them, like they do in the states, that could be fun.

I remember it well Mick!

Seriously, a few nostalgia bikes would be a great at the Nats, but no more than a few, otherwise we'll be swamped with 'busas, Dukes and gixxers and there are meetings set aside for those.

My feelings on the subject also Ivor, no problem with a few, it's when the blighters do a run then cut through the middle of the waiting cars that problems may occur. Some old school drag bikes would be good to see. 8-)

Took me back seeing them at the Nats, I used to race my old GSX1100ET back in the 80's ;)

Love the first 4 valve GSX's, my '80 1100 had a full Yoshi motor, pipe, flatslides, Andrews ignition, ext swing arm and ran 10.40 at 140, and it was my daily, I was 19 I think............brilliant days :D
....................now my mate in the States has run his bone stock S1000RR at his local track and ran 10.01 at 150 on his first run, mental :shock:

MOPAR NATIONALS- europes premier musclecar event

NO BIKES,NO OPEN WHEEL DRAGSTERS,NO FWD,NO 4WD,NO VWs

If you want this stuff go to any RWYB,any weekend,at any strip.

I know theres some cars that dont fall into these catergories,but I dont want to see them either.

Sooner see a 15sec musclecar than a 9 sec altered.

Only my opinion,cause Im right :lol: :lol: :lol:
