Finally!! Some decent numbers...
I finally got some decent numbers out of my bike i'm happy with. Last year with the same set-up i have now, i ran a best of 9.23 at 148. Well 7 months has passed...i'm 52 pounds lighter and i ran a best of 9.12 at 149. I wasn't having much luck with my 60's yet (1.45-1.47) but i got some rust on me. I was 230 pounds in shorts the end of last year and after working my ass off all winter i'm down to 178 in shorts....fully suited i figure i'm still 190. The bike seems to be doing ok for now....i removed the lock-up bec ause i was getting a sudden thud when it locked up and it would pull the bike down. I could have used more gear to help pull thru the bog but i didnt want to. The clutch is the same one i ran last year so it's probaly due for another one. I have to fix a leaky valve cover before i can go back, but i'm looking foward to chasing some 9.0's.

52 pounds !!!! Very very good ..... You will see your 9.0s soon ....I'd bet money on it ...You get into the 1.30s you might see a 8.90s ....

Good numbers, do you think all you picked up came from the weight loss? I mean were you 60fts and 330 about the same? I would have thought 52 lbs would have been worth a little more. I'm not so sure what I've always heard is right I always heard ever 20 lbs is a .10th

Thanks....believe it or not I didnt find it that hard to do. I cut out my soda, exercise and watch what i ate. I bought a book called "eat this, not that"...it was very helpful.
I have to get my 60's back down where they was last year...1.41-1.42. I am hoping for a 1.3 something and a 8.90's pass...i would be really happy with that.

That's awesome to be able to lose that much weight. I would love to weigh 175. I'm at 205 right now. Where can I find that book??
With the hot weather, my appetite has really deminished the last 3 weeks. Excercise is what I need, and its what I don't do. I really have to try harder.

Bently...I think so, my numbers are not as good as they was last year. I see my biggest gain in the 1/8 with 5.80's. I know i can 60 in the high 1.3's if i can get my clutch hand back with some practice...then it will all be better from there. I'm not sure about the 20 pound rule either...i guess if i could be a little more consistant i could give ya a better answer.
ninjaboy...I got that book at walden books. The editor of Mens Health wrote it and it's a real eye opener. The outback cheese fries was the worst food in america with 2,900 calories, i used to smash a plate of those before my meal! No wonder i was 230 pounds. I also got into MMA...nothing like rolling around on the floor trying to smash a guys face in. lol I work out with all the cage fighters around here and it's a great/fun work out. The bumps and bruises just let you know your still breathing.
Jonny...cut out the soda, it's alot of carbs. I have a subway in my work parking lot and would go get refills all day long. I figured it up one time and i was taking in almost a full days worth of calories and 2 days worth of carbs every day, just drinking coke.
