Went to the track tonight and i should have stayed home ..

Today was the last chance to do any test and tune till the 8th of next month so i went and made a few passes .. Nothing good to report but head winds and crappy air .. I did toss down a two 8.53 runs .. No 8.40s for me ... YET ! But it's not for a lack of trying .. I just should have stayed home and wait till the 8th and hope for better Air .. Well maybe not better air but at least no darn head winds ..

There was a bunch of diesel trucks testing for a race this weekend and all i could see going down the track was black smoke .. I wouldn't even stage till the smoke cleared so i could see the end of the track .. They were pretty darn fast but they sink like hell .. anyway just so it wasn't a total loss i got a really nice picture of my bike going down the track .. This is a photo of the photo so it really doesn't like as good as the real picture .. Sorry i don't own a scanner ..

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Now imagine if he was running MR12!!! I think we will see some 165mph runs on the new 14r.

11000 but i think 10900 might do the trick .. Looking back at my run tickets switching from 10800 to 11000 did pick up a tiny bit of MPH .. I would realy like to try a 10900 if i could get my hands on one .. I just don't believe there is any extra power up above11000 ..
