Just returned from the PI Classic and had a brilliant time there. Oldest bike was a 1926 Indian Altoona, with the New Era Period 6 racers including models up to 1990. The fastest bike on the weekend was only 6 seconds slower than Max Biaggi's current SBK record of 1:31.7, which is only 1.6 secs slower than the MotoGP record. Shaun Giles set it yesterday on a 1982 Suzuki Katana, so there was definately some serious action going on
.
I didn't see an ST there (including my own as I had to drive down with my son this time), but I was wondering if anyone else got down there. For those of the era of watching 70 -80's superbikes and who didn't make it and perhaps haven't been to PI for a bike race, it's an ideal weekend with large enough crowds to add to the atmosphere, but small enough without being too hectic. Did I mention that Agostini was there again this year and probably for the last time. He did some demo laps on a replica MV 500. That sounds a bit like an add, but Lach and I had a great weekend, watching everything from practice, to races, pit walks to dribbling over (near) some of the bikes in the car park!
