Who's the best drag racer in the PNW? It ain't me!
Seriously, I want to work out some bugs on my silver 1347 bike before taking it to Bonneville late next summer. I figure the 1/4 mile would be a good (if abbreviated) opportunity to do so. To that end, it's lowered (1 inch so far, but can go lower!) and I'm hoping to drag my fat butt into the 9 second range with it. I know if I could get a good light rider on it, could prolly get into the 8s with it. So, what about it? Who's bantamweight and has the reflexes of a overcaffeinated hummingbird?

That would be me, except you left out "cat-like" agility!!!.....p.s. where do I sign?

three strikes and i'm out
1. not from PNW
2+3. fatass with with reflexes of an Angus cow
SWFT, I will be taking my 1361 to the 1/4 mi in a couple weeks, just as soon as I get the big end bug out of my system.
BTW: fuck contracting a drag-monkey (apologies to all those light weights under 200lb), do it yourself man! ____________

Hey Swift, Muzzy is in Bend Oregon as you well know. Seeing that Oregon is in the PNW, then Rickey G. is the man! Now if he would just show up and make a few passes up here in the PNW. Maybe hold a " Muzzy Clinic" at SIR or PIR. What do you think, Doug??? Hmmm.

Ozzy - Ricky is *not* in Bend! He rides for Kaw, and Muzzy's wrenches for him, but his skinny little ass would freeze over in Bend this time of year! ____________

Mission Raceway Is the place to go if you want best power, speed. Perfect track conditions-sea level and right beside Fraser River(if mother nature is on side)and can rent track for $50.00 on friday's. You will be running with a max of 50 other vehicles, but its a free for all. I once went down the track 35 times on the Zx-11. Of course if you are running anything faster than 9.9999, you will need a NHRA License.

I know that Ricky is not from Bend, my point being Rob Muzzy is, so by proxy, Ricky is.

Swift, does this now make Ricky a PNW drag racer? Hmmm?
Either way you look at it, Rob should bring Ricky "Up North" for a track day!
