Pretty 12 at the race..
I saw this guy roll in, and I had to get shots of his gorgeous bike. We compared bikes, and the only thing I had that he didn't was Dino's seat hinge. Yes, he was jealous. 
He said that he paid $1500 to paint the bike & two helmets. I'd rather put that toward a 1361 kit.
Here's a closeup of the detail on the tank. He got tired of wiping my drool off of his bike. This is the pretty side...
The other side needs some work. The poor guy lost his chain, and it did this. Even though it could have been a lot worse, this still sucks.

I noticed the same thing. Figured he might be getting someones take offs. But they are not great drag race tires.

You know, one of the fun things to do after the run, when you are coming up the return road, is to whack the throttle a few times, and feel the drag slick stand up and spin. Good way to clean it off before you get to the pits, too!

I love that diamond plate effect. I could almost see doing all the fairings that way.
Or is that just tacky?

Hahahaha!!! Yup, the owner of that beautiful bike kicked my butt when we lined up against each other during qualifying.
I treed him bad, but I ended up hooking up too much and bogged off the line. He kicked my butt from there...even without the nitrous.

Nothing like an honest man! Yes you cut a better light than me but as you said I was the winner. I'm sure next time you won't make it so easy for me.
