sending a picture of my s1 in race trim, it works like a tractor and most of the time is what I could say, bulletproof.
With the latest tuning I had difficulties to keep it on the track and the gearing was way to short even if it was the previous " anderstorp gearing" which is supposed to be really tall, with the higher speed I also recognised the weakness of the frame and a small play in the swinging arm.
On the pic the bike is under work with bending in new spannies for increased ground clearance.
I`m racing in the swedish classic racing class " forgotten era" and my wish is to embarrass some of the TZ riders in the next season, 2002.

I´m happy that you liked the pic and the bike, as you understand I use a full fairing when I´m racing. Without fairing and with the old tuning I hit close to 130MpH with the tallest gearing, and for this year I hope to get close to 145/150 MpH. I´m getting scared !!!!! Sending also one pic of one off my race bikes, it´s an NSU sportmax replica 250cc single fourstroke and the bike behind is a very special race bike, a 50cc Delta made in sweden in the beginnig of the 70´s. It has a 50cc aircooled sachs engine, revs to 16 500 rpm and 6 gears. One pic is showing me and my twin boys so that you know who I am.

good luck with your site and the pictures I send you.
Best regards from Joakim Johannesson.
