The
design of speedway motorcycles from their inception in the 20s changed
little until the 70s. Mad dog Englishmen started using rigid frame
speedway bikes on unimproved field tracks with the obvious results. To
tame the wild airborne responses to terrain irregularities, rear
suspension was added and the bikes became known as Grass Trackers. The
handling and cornering capabilities mirrored those of speedway bikes but
with a slightly increased bump management. I have been an enthusiast
of speedway bikes as the owner of two Jawas which I ran on Minnesota
ice. This grass tracker will have the same duty but offers kick starting
and a multiple speed transmission. Speedway bikes have to be pushed for
starting and that's hard on slippery ice. (continued on the next
