VANNIK

During the late 70's I was helping a few novice riders on their modified 50cc racing motorbikes. They wanted to thank me for the help and made up the name "Vannik" from my surname and the name "Vannik Racing" was born... A number of people started calling me Vannik so when I started doing consulting work and needed a name I used "Vannik Developments"... Two years before finishing school I started racing 50cc motorbikes and started tuning 2 stroke engines. My first attempt at pipe design was a miserable failure. During my final year at school (1975) I got hold of a copy of Gordon Jennings' "Two-stroke Tuners Handbook" and realized that there was science behind the processes.
