I won't pretend I have a clue what they're trying to accomplish.

It seems they think that it's lean angle that's the issue.

After more reading it's gotta be their insurer.

Same as sport bikes are more expensive to insure on the street.

It's a race for crying out loud... [bang] [bang]

1921 Wallace A. Coleman went off the road in his car, into a field of boulders
1982 Bill Gross Jr. run over by another motorcycle, allegedly due to extremely dusty conditions.
2001 Ralph Chandler Bruning Jr. drove his car into a tree.
2005 Henry J. Bresciani race official run over by a car at the finish line.
2014 Bobby Goodin loses control of his bike in the gravel after the finish line and ends up in the rocks.
2015 Carl Sorensen rode off a cliff.

They've missed the real issue completely.
The three riders that died were certainly wearing boots, so that's got to be the root cause.

There is no way a motorcycle racer, past or present is on that board.

I saw the same sort of lack of understanding amongst some of the car guys that ran the SCTA when I was running a bike at Bonneville and El Mirage.

Kinda sorta maybe, but it's still every bit the beast. This is Sebastian's full run in real time from 13.  [evil]

Oh, this has nothing to do with cycles.

A big deal being made out of almost nothing I think.  They've had two fatalities concerning clip ons. So, race with the one piece bars. It is, after all, a race as you say. Think those Multistradas are fast? Hoo boy.... get up there with some 1290SDR's or BMW S1000R's or Tuono's.  Then see if there are any more fatalities.  What if there are & then they chalk it up to the higher speeds with the paved course? Then they just close the Climb to motorcycles in general or put further restrictions on it.   [popcorn]  [popcorn]  [popcorn]
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

None of the interested parts could be contacted, most likely because it's December 28, the Dia de Los Santos Inocentes, the winter equivalent of April Fool's Day.
