Hibernation has ended Yep, pulled the cover off, put the battery back in, changed the oil, mounted new 010's, polished her and hit the starter button. Fired right up. Oh, how I missed that sound. Ready to go now but it's only 23 fucking degrees here. Seems like it's been forever since I've riden.

The dealership also gave me the recall nuts and washers for the valve stem, put them on too. MUCH bigger than the stock ones, 17mm compared to 14mm.

Hey Otis! Believe it or not Ryan made a couple of passes at Lapeer Dragway Saturday!!!! 45 degrees and 40 mph head wind. I guess we are all getting a little over anxious.

Hi Mike, glad to hear Ryan is back in the saddle. I got your e-mail, did you and Loriann go to Hawaii again?

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Yep, first time on the bike since the crash and it was a pass down the drag strip! too bad the conditions were less than safe! I had to get atleast one last day in at the strip before the bike sold.

Maybe down the road sometime. I would like to get a 9r or a 12r just for the strip. Maybe if I were to come across a crunchy one I might buy it. Im sure the wife will put up a fight, but she doesnt weigh that much so I think i will be able to take her! As of right now, Im starting to piece together another mustang for the strip. A buddy gave me a rolling chassis for free and I have two spare motors in my garage that I am currantly going thru. I will still be at the strip racing next spring, but it will be on 4 wheels with a cage around me!
I picked the wheel up just by stabbin' 3rd and that is with the 6" ext!!!! Gonna be an awesome summer!!!
BTW...Ryan, may let ya ride my bike!!!! The YSR50 that is!!!! LOL Sorry man, I can't give up the 12!!!

Mike, all I have to say about this is www.schnitzracing.com Poof, $400 later and you got about 230+hp at the wheel! Just like magic!
I am going to buy the turbos for my car at the end of april, we could always fab one of them on your bike!
