Thanks man, yea, she sounds pretty good with the Pipe on there, especially when wound tight, cranking up a few Rpm's! errr, first gear ofcourse, any more and it would be illegal with local speed limits! hahaha shhhhhh....
Man, sorry to hear that AT100plus, sold he when ya got married !well, thats cool I guess, I am slowly growing out of them too, who knows what'll be next, maybe a wife as well! lol..

Here is a pic of our old Pro Stock Bike I used to spin the wrenchs on. Ninja body on a Kosman chassis, 1395cc, 16 to 1 compression,Vance & Hines cone carbs, 228 hp on the dyno. We ran this bike in NHRA & IDBA in 87 & 88 finished 6th in NHRA points in 87 & 5th in 88. It ran low 8s in the 1/4 at just under 170 mph.

Thanks Rob

Very sweet ride there! I love watching them crazy bastards crank them up on the strip! What a rush! Have a guy in town here with a zx11, not sure as to haw modified she is, but has a Mr Turbo on it asw well, like 10" ext. swing arm, pretty wild looking! My thing is the turns, I LOVE carving the turns! Oh yea, wheelies are funa s well! hehehe:D

Turns are alot of fun but used to scare me if you road hard there was a good chance you were going to fall down. Back when I used to race & ride it was when the roadrace style bikes were just getting started. I don't ride any more got run over twice in 2 years second time broke my leg they thought they were going to have to take it off 3 surgerys & about 1 1/2 years on crutches I just can't enjoy it any more. Its no fun when you get done riding your neck is sore from being on a swival all day. Oh well there is always boating.

Be carefull it's the other guy that will get you

Well, I am terribly sorry to hear about your misfortune, glad your all good now, well, given the circumstances, better than ya could have been!
I am thinkingof getting out of riding for a bit, I hear ya about going down, I have gone down a few times, nothing too serious, once was the NOBB in front of me's fault, he made me Jam the brake mid turn, and poof, I was 'highsidded'! PRICK.. the other was Oil on the road... ENOUGH SAID THERE!
I have had MANY HIGH spped 'close calls', that should have scared me out of the saddle long ago, but now, I think I am done, going to stick with the boat stuff... MUCH MORE FUN!
Well, take it easy,
