I think you can only register one bike, but when you go up for a run they only look at the number on the side of the bike. They don't ask your name.
I'm probably next smallest at 158, but I've been gaining weight everyday...
Weighed 146 this time last year. Quitting smoking for 6 weeks has its downsides.

Is it true you only get 4 runs total?
absolutely NOT true. You could make 24 runs if you hot lapped.

Congrats Matt! I'm about 7 weeks into my not smoking spree.
Anyhow, I'd like to get someone(much smaller than me) to see just how fast my 14 really is...not interested in any kinds of records, I just want to see how fast she is. Obviously there's gonna be a lot of wind resistance and gravity with me at the helm

I'm down to ride whatever! Entropy and I briefly discussed me piloting his bike too...but nothing set in stone yet...hopefully Karl gets his pissy-motor syndrom patched up!
Ooooh man can't wait! Got the forks from Matt, 2.5" drop! Ceramic bearing on their way, new chain...
LADIES AND GENTLEMENT LETS GET READY TO RUMBUUUUUUUUULE!!!!!!

BTW, this is my tuck @ Bonneville....needs some work but thats with the stock A1 windscreen. Thinking about removing the fake plastic gas tank and actually scooting more FORWARD to get my chin on a lower part of the tank and more of my helmet out of the wind....but thats basically scooted back and chin mashed on the tank. Scooting up though may increase turbulance in the rear....although it looks like if I just shifted my entire body forward a little and removed the tank so my chin would be closer to where the fuses are that maybe my tailbone would be more in line with the tail...problem is at 5'6 I'm more leg than torso.

I do believe the very first Texas Mile had 4 runs, but they made it unlimited after that.
JC may come out to spectate with the kids in tow.
Shiphteey my six year old son looks bigger than you.........But thats a beauty of a tuck for a 12.
Just kidding ya about my son, don't take it personally, as I could stand to loose at least half your weight.

I thought it was 300something feet? Who cares....its low...hopefully it won't be too humid and calm winds.
LTM: Are you gonna remap it and fatten it up a bit up top? More air down low. Would make your bike safer AND more HP assuming your a/f ratio is pretty on at your 3500+ feet elevation.

Brocks mailed me the maxton map. I'll need to find some MR9? If there's no race fuel, I'll put brock's original map back in for starters. I know for a fact its nice and fat up top. Still shopping for a 40T too. 17/40 is what Brock used in his diaries to break the 200 in maxton, so I guess it will be a good start. I'll be bringing the sprockets and other stuff that I have...
I'm pretty sure someone will have a laptop I can borrow if need be...

Damn ship, you are bringing everything but the kitchen sink. LOL!!
I know I a little late(haven't been online in a few days) but I made about 10-15 runs last fall and I was NOT hot lapping it. If you just kept going up there you could probably make 30 runs.
See you guys in a couple weeks.
