While not being a bike person, this is a fascinating topic.
A couple interesting thoughts spring to mind when looking at the pics.

1. Motor cycles are designed with the engine as low as possible, just as in a car, yet unlike cars, the 'pilot' is way up in the air, creating a very high centre of gravity.

2. I notice the demo pic of the controller shows the trigger being pressed by the middle finger, rather than the index.
I have a sneaky feeling that this is not a mistake by the demonstrator and that the middle finger IS the best one to use.
How unusual is this?
Which finger do most of you use?

The Cox/PdL sysytem is fascinating and I do appreciate those lovely drawings.
I imagine the major drawback to entering production was the special track?
If nothing else, I will try the middle finger technique next time I race!

Here's one registering definite interest!

I echo that most powerfully.
The world would be a MUCH poorer place without the likes of PdL in it.
The only way to really preserve material like this is to make personal copies.
