What happens,
Is it the bolts that fail and not the saddles, i could understand that as they get some rough treatment.

Are they coming loose then before breaking, if they did they would shock load and fail prob taking a bit of saddle with them.

I'm taking a bit of a shine to you 225, you need to start threads more often mate 
But to be honest it does show behind all the wind ups and banter here these guys are real gems

My only experience of honda's is the last 3 hr Enduro on Windermere.
I was amazed that a boat class designed for offshore had 2 or 3 boats ended up upside down on the slipway.
Plus running round all day at 70mphish must be boring. V24's were much more impressive but again plodded round a bit.
Paul Brooks in the P18 with 2.5 EFI looked bloody amazing next to them.
Quite hilarious too that Pete Smith won the race in his 90mph Wildcat. He did fall out too but that was before the race started.
I had to throw in something about circuit racing. Us guys are a bit under represented on here.

P1 = world touring cars
Honda formula four stroke = British touring cars
V24 = Formula Ford
anyone else got any ideas, i'm open to suggestions

Comparing Class1 offshore to F1: would like to see mr. Bernie Ecclestone behind the weel (if you see what I mean)in one of the F1 cars !
