Hi David, I like your green machine, looks like a lot of fun to pull
with and bet it sounds great too !!! We have bikers all over the
place up here in Western New York, I bet this sport would be real
popular once it gets a foothold and exposure. One of the things I
like about these pullers is a range of tire choices available
including dual tires and even using aggressive ATV tires, it'd be
interesting to observe how each combination works. The rules state a
maximum of 30" diameter but it appears that some are running
31x15.5x15" tires, is the rule book in error as those Dick Cepeks
they are running or other "pro" tires are not available in a smaller
15" rim size to my knowledge. In 4 wheel pulling most classes are
regulated by tire size so it's nice to see an open rule. Also another
rule that seems curious is the drawbar hookpoint height is determined
by the FRONT ??? axle centerline and not the REAR axle c/l, is that
right and if so why so, Thanks for clarifying. It also appears that
you guys stand rather than sit so as to more effectively distribute
your weight by body steering,,yes ?? I couldn't get any of the videos
to play on my 'puter (it would partly upload and then keep repeating
never finishing, might be something wrong with my setup, not sure).
One other question, are some of these bikes dual use or are most
dedicated pulling machines ?? Thanks again for any input. Geo
