a sim for Old bikes like Manx Norton's. MV Augusta's and V4 Honda's etc.
Imagine racing around the Isle of Man or the Nurburing on 2 inch wide
tyres with drum brakes!
And the sound's...pure music to a petrol head.
As for danger...I sat down with a friend once and quickly made a list of
over 50 riders we have seen or heard of dying whilst racing. We could of
made the list larger but we were getting a bit morbid about the whole
thing. My father, who used to make the factory Manx bikes in the 50's,
has told me of several instances where three or four riders in a team
arriving at a race meeting and only one or two surviving to make the
trip home. He told me of one poor bloke who used to race in the 50's and
lost three sons in a short matter of time in the late 50's and early
60's to racing accidents. (Thing is there are still members of the
family racing today.....).
Come on you developers out there who read the newsgroup....give it a go.
I would love to beat Agostini, Barry Sheene, Kenny Roberts, Geoff Duke,
Mike Hailwood, John Surtees etc etc.
