What exactly is Norwegian Racing Twine (NRT) and why is it useful?
If you stay with the Yamahafj list long enough, the topic of Norwegian Racing Twine will float by……like about now 🙂 Some time ago we had a discussion on drive-chain connectors. Riveted master links vs. clip-secured master links, stuff like that. One of the Norwegian listers informed us that, in Norway, motorcycle road-racers are required to secure master-link clips with a “piece of string.” Well “string”, as in “Norwegian Racing String” just didn’t sound right, too low-tech, so I substituted “twine” for “string”, and Norwegian Racing Twine was born. I tried NRT out on my FJ, and figured it wouldn’t last too long. To my surprise, it’s stayed on for several thousands of miles, and from now on, I’m using NRT on my master-link clips!!!
