The Bug Bandit Blog

Our bikes from 2003. They've been tuned up & retired from road riding to spend a life on the race track. Hopefully you'll pick up some tips to help with your mantenance or tuning project. Any questions: then ask away. I'll try to answer if I'm not busy. Alot of things have to be your own journey of discovery: I can't give you set-by-step instructions.

6 Hours raced upon the Bandit.

I was curious what wear & tear the Bandit would suffer from 6 hours of racing. Think the drive belt was worn .5mm off its width.  Rear wheel bearing seems noteably loose....will have to change that soon.  Not looked at the brakes yet.

Reveived a pic CD from www.osella.com.au
Looking at some of the lean angles & thinking about the tyres having a full-on 6-hour workout: I took some pics of them just now. 
The M29 tyres look only abraded.  I'm pretty sure my Pirelli SL26's would have been totally shagged..
