Update......
Mark Barnett, the guy who wrote the article, and I have been in contact via e-mail and we're talking about getting the real story out. He seems pretty interested in what REALLY happened that day on Great River Road. Even if the deal with him doesn't pan out I'm gonna keep trying to get someone to put the truth in print. I've already e-mailed Motorcyclist, Cycle World, and plan to e-mail Sport Rider. I know it is small potatoes, but Barnett seemed to think it was interesting enough to print a full page in his magazine about it.
All I'm asking for is a paragraph or two to tell what really happened. Not the Boss Hoss guys' "Fairy Tale" version. The wheels are turning, I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Mark Barnett WILL be getting a copy of the video.
BTW... guys I do realize that the Turbo Blue probably did hurt me. I think I've already said that, but if not,now I have. 
Thanks for all the support and interest in this whole ordeal. I've linked Mark all the pages that I know of that are talking about his article and we are supposed to have a conversation on the phone saturday. He has led me to believe that he will have no problem in printing the truth after he sees the video. I hope this is the case. Several of you HAVE seen the video, and some of you even have copies, so you know the second story on this race will be entirely different than the first one if it comes to pass.

Yeah C
It shall. I am SO ready to put this shit to rest you have no idea. When it all first went down I was glad we won, and still am. But didn't want to rub it in the Boss Hoss guys' face. Well after all this shit, and countless people going "Man I just find that HARD to believe", I'm ready for some props. I'm ready to say "Believe it Motherfucker because you're seeing it" when I get some copies of the video circulated to some mags.
I cannot wait for Mark Barnett and I to have our phone conversation saturday. He really seems like he may print the real story.

I sent him an e-mail two days ago. Not a flaming e-mail, a very professional one calling him to the truth. I haven't gotten a response from him but it looks like he is responding to you. If he does indeed print the truth than kudos for him. He should know not to print hearsay though.

Thanks........
Thanks for the support Otis. He told me has has received tons of e-mail about this and that he was "Big enough to print them, though some would have to be edited". My e-mails to him are in a somewhat professional manner although not exactly sqeeky clean. I told him I didn't want him printing e-mail responses, just the real story as told be me which will be backed up by the video tape. After all who can tell the story better than me, it was my bike being ridden by me against the 502 bike.
As I've said 1000 times Daniel did dragrace the smallblock Boss Hoss and it was a joke. But again in all fairness the Boss Hoss did smoke the tire, and again it isn't my fault that those guys can't ride what they build. You run what you've got, and ride it to the best of your abilities, they just fell short that day. Those Boss Hosses are brutes, but they are far from functional. The power is there in spades, but the total package is lacking BIGTIME. I proved that on that April day more than once.

Another Update....
Mark Barnett has e-mailed me and told me that he'd give me equal space in his magazine to tell my side of the story. I told him I had no problem with writing the article as long as he threw his comments in about what he sees on the video tape. I want him to verify what I, and everyone else who has seen the tape has seen. We've still got a few details to iron out but I've got to have all the information to him by april 7th which should be no problem. I hope this happens.

Thanks fish.......
I talked to Mark Barnett (the magazine guy) saturday. He is a cool guy and a definite motorcycle nut. The article is a "go" and all that is left for me to do is send him the video. I've already written the rough draft for the article, and Mark is going to insert his comments at the beginning or end of the article. I'm pretty stoked about the whole deal, and if it goes off as planned I will definitely give Mr. Barnett props on printing what really happened, and for showing people how much of a fairy tale that first article was.

kcadby, I have two completely stock 2000 ZX12Rs. Now, I am located fifty miles south of Chicago, but if ever you'd need to borrow one of them to run the Boss Hoss, just let me know.

Speaking of Harley type Idiots...
If you ask nicely, I will tell you the story of the guy with the West Coast Choppers bike that was just "killing a Ninja" on the highway. Just pulling away like nothing.
