As to motocross bikes of the 70's.....I guess if fewer people get hurt....than that was a safer condition. Unless your point is that more injuries result from safer conditions?

One of these days I'm expecting to see the uber-secret documents that show how all of these manufacturers colluded to build step hulls that were "unsafe" all in an effort to kill the folks that buy them while feeding the marketing hype. Rumor has it Oliver Stone has purchased the movie rights...

If Factory racers were all geniuses....they'd be designing Skaters.

Re: Another stepped hull goes dancing
Yes, in fact it was a TS/TG. I had seen it earlier this year at Lake Shores. I think it had been recently purchased from Lip Shipp, a gorgeous Gun BTW. Drivers seat stand broken and torn from floor and hatch is gone, but otherwise doesn't look too bad for being under water. They have the motors flushed already and new oil and have had them running. Just waiting on insurance co. now.

Remember the "hood mounted tachometer"?........ "Shaker hoods"?
I preferred those useless doodads...... at least the car didn't spin off into the toolies.
