Never seems to be enough time to get things done.


Dr. Gary, I know that someone we both know has sent you a Little "Support" Money that they received out of No WHere!

Your too funny Mr. Hill, I'll have to figure out something I can send you that can't be sent
back.

I guess I should start to get the bike ready for the Texas Mile. I have just been riding
around and enjoying it so much. Man O Man its so nice to be lazy with the clutch and
gear selection even with it set up for around 210mph. It really has some nice power at low RPM. Shifting is also silky smooth, Thanks Mr. Hill and Mr. Robinson for the awesome deal
on the trans gears, cut and polish job. This is what the first ZX-12 should have felt like!

It sure is coming up quick!!!! JohnnyCheese had some more Texas Mile Riders over for tuning.

Russman's Busa with a Monster MC Express turbo ran around 310HP on only 12lbs of boost!!!!!!!!

Couple others getting some new rubber spooned on.

Racetrack 14 and 9secondJen brought their Ghetto turbo Busa in as well. It also had a Giant Innovative turbo with all the bells and whistles that put up around 300HP on moderate boost. ( I think it was one of the last Motorhead ones before he went on sabbatical)
Jen will be turning up the boost to 19+ lbs after some shake down runs to try and beat Trilliums record of 218mph. Racetrack said he would be happy to just make the 200 club.

Dang, where is that Speed TV show when ya need them. We got Shiphteey going for the fastest 1200cc Nos bike (195+), Entropy looking for the fastest N/A bike (202+), Buddy shooting for the Fastest N/A ZX-14 (191+), Russ looking for fastest vehicle for the weekend and second to the Bud Busa here at Goliad (230+) 9SecondJen fastest women (218+), AusTexBusa, Robert, Largest Man to roll on two wheels at the Mile(188+), Plus Osti, MadMike and myself looking for the 200 club and maybe the Title of the fastest ZX-12 (held by Buddy at 198+)!!!!!!

Man O Man, I can't wait!!!!! Who's Hitting up Fish for the BikeLand.Org Banner and some promo shirts and stickers!!!!!!!! 2X for me and 5-6X for my Bro!!!!!!!!........................................
............................................................................................................Just Kidding ya on the shirts.

I'll be looking to make reservations tommorrow, but we will still probably roll in on Saturday.

Bro has to work late.

How is your bike coming? Boy, it sure sounds like this motor will come together real nice just from some of the numbers you have slipped around.

No Worries, I have a feeling that motor will be a BEAST!

Watch out for those softy tires, I have seen the need to spoon some new ones on after long sessions!


If you do not mind shareing info, did you have much slippage at the Mile? What will you be starting off with gearing wise?

I am having second thoughts on my gearing, I keep going back and forth, I think I might be a little too low as I do not want to run my Nos too close to stock red line.

i hear you on the softy tires as i trashed a brand new SC-2 last Feb on the dyno, and now have a $90 bridgestone for dyno work.

I'll will prob start with 18/44, but wanna see what the dyno says.

In Mar i saw 3.5-4% tire slip

Antlers all booked up when I called, looks like we will be staying at Best Western.

Give us the scoop Karl, you have us in suspense on the motor! Hope things went well at Andy's on Saturday.

motor seems rock solid but it has a miss under load, like bad plug or coil or powercommander or something. I'll change plugs and coils go back to Andy's on next Fri/Sat.

Ok guys, I got a problem.
I don't think 15# of extra spray is gonna be enough for me to last the weekend.
Anyone bringing extra bottles or have one I can rent, use, or buy?
I'm thinking an extra 10# bottle will do it.

Any suggestions?

The only problem you have is driving to Houston to pick up the big bottle I have in my garage.
