AFRICA TWIN MAKES
FLAT TRACK DEBUT
O
ver five months in the mak-
ing, Ron Wood rolled out
his brand new project at the AFT
final at Perris Auto Speedway
in Perris, California, October 7.
His new beauty is based on the
Honda Africa Twin 1000 engine
and had Chad Cose at the con-
trols.
Struggling with teething prob-
lems and the first time on the
motorcycle, Cose finished 11th
in both his heat and last chance
race, missing the main event.
Cose said that the bike
worked pretty well considering
it was on the track for the first
time. The wide engine and result-
ing lack of ground clearance in
the turns proved to be a hurdle
that needs to be resolved. CN
