News from the Dyno shop finally
As many of you may know a terrible series of Tornados went through Alabama last week and tore up my home town of Tuscaloosa/Northport. Cullman was also hard hit and the Dyno shop where I had left my Turbo Busa project to be tuned was there. I had not heard it the shop had been wiped out and everyones stuff lost. Today they called and said the shop made it but was flooded. Water only got up to about the axles on the bikes and my bike was not damaged. They want have power for another week.so he said he would finish it up then. He said some minor wind damage and flooding was all he got. I thought she was a goner from sure the way things looked around here. Whew!!!!

Man'' God damn if this weather ain't been crazy,but glad you got some halfway decent news anyway!
We had 3 bikes get sand blasted by a almost instant 60mph wind when those storms came thru here, Couldn't get them inside before we lost a mirror on one, and windscreens on two others.
There is 900 acres of field on all sides that the farmer that tills it for us had just worked the ground.
We are 30 minutes from atlantic ocean so the ground is real sandy. The bikes look just like its been in a glass beadier...................

When he said Axle deep it does not sound bad....unless you bike has a turbo hanging off the front of the motor. He said it was fine though.

same here. Since school is out my daughter went to pass out water for our church in one of the harder hit areas. She said they are still finding bodies in the rubble. I went by there today and it looks like a scrap yard. Cars tossed about everywhere, houses leveled, But then you come across a house in all that rubble that has hardly any damage? Crazy.
