Russ;

I wouldn't even think of doing that-- even if I'd never heard of tire tread
chunking!

I agree.  To ride the way he did, ol' Rollie must have had some massive
cajones.  He had the good instinct to situate those parts directly above his
rear tire patch. Russ, #1226B

Russ;

Maybe Rollie Free had the right idea!

Lance:
I think you are right-- that there is the possibility of some progress
through optimizing tire grip.  None of the big-power bike guys seem to be
doing much about it right now.

I don't know how much more this (grip improvement) will get us bikers,
though.  The dragsters have factors working for them which may not be
practical for us-- like the big downforce wings, for example. Russ, #1226B
