    Giacomo Agostini to many people say rossi has over taken his record but Giacomo Agostini had to win in places like the isle of man and on the proper racing circuits to win his titles

    Rossi and Dunlop are certainly the best of their generation, but how the heck do you make comparisons that can stand up to scrutiny.

    For example, one thing which has changed a lot is that the branches of the sport are so much more specialised, and it is quite a big deal when, say, someone moves from 125 Motogp to 250.

    When Hailwood was racing he switched classes 3 times a day. He had a van load of bikes in each capacity and had a very busy day at the track. One commentator said "if only he'd taken up sidecars it would make it so much easier to remember who won everything".

    They are all heroes - just enjoy them for what they are and what they were.

    digital tachs often get their sign from the ignition coil. previous Stewart Warner mechanical tachs use a sq. ended cable like yours. If the middle on your tach are thoroughly shot, it may be extreme high quality in case you should use the internals from an previous SW tach to alter it with. you may ought to calibrate it, yet it is no longer a situation. what's incorrect including your cutting-edge tach? Mechanical tachs are not that complicated and often the concern is the two a loose or busted return spring or worn indicator needle bushings, letting the magnet touch the needle dish.
