Great footage on both counts, Keith and Hanno. When I see all that wheel spinning, I have to wonder how violent our 1931 Napier earth quake was. It left lots cars with broken axles from the rocking. Many had to wait for stock from o/seas as the national stocks were used up.
Back to the subject,
The bouncing of the crew makes all the difference, especially with the skinnier tyres.
I remember going to the motorcycle hill climbs with my Dad, when I was a kid. I loved watching those guys riding their big heavy Nortons, AJS's, BSA's and the like, with the primary chains wirling away by their boots. Great stuff!
