The guy on the bike was shocked as he didn't know beetles could do that, I said to him that is got some more left in it as I wasn't sure how much to push him not knowing his ability or what's coming the other way.
He loved it and said he hopes to see me up there again.(sending him a copy of video as he has never seen himself riding before)
I need to get onto a track to see what it can do, now that it's all sorted just need to be able to push it to the limit so I know where it is, both handling and engine performance, I think the tyres are a week point as it feels like, I could push it further but the tyres spin to easily, like coming out of the hair pin in 3rd not giving heaps you can hear it spin up.

Nice mate, I know that road very well, been over it quite a few times on both motorbikes and bicycle when my parents lived at Berowra.

Sounds awesome.
But stay on your side of the road or you'll kill someone. It will really upset someone's wife/kids/parents.

Point taken on boabout maybe about 3 times when I crossed the line, but do take into account the camera and angles make it look worse than it actually was.
68AutoBug ·
yes, the camera angle makes it like You are using ALL the road
both sides...
but it was just the camera angle I believe
So, its a type 1 engine??
