That fat bike is fat. Weigh almost hundred pounds more then that light liter bike.

Love it, our bikes couldn't be any more different; but we are both racing Kawi's baby.
Thank ya sir! Good luck racing your bike this year!

LOL damn dude! Change out all the bolts for aluminum and get CF body work. Remove one caliper and rotor up front!

Awesome on the rider mod, just don't forget to poop in the morning and take ex lax the night before. Can't wait to see what this thing runs. I might be able to come out Sunday and snap photos if I can hitch a ride or something.
Haha I think taking a morning shit would lose as much weight as changing the bolts to aluminum. I was half tempted to change the fairing bolts to aluminum though just to have black bolts instead of silver. Ricer mods wuddup.

I'd say come with but I can't imagine the truck being very comfy for 3 hours with 3 people in it. We could make it work if you wanted to come tho

Lol it was all in good fun to make sure our bikes were running good before the track this weekend. I of course didn't post the video where I got rocked because I couldn't find 2nd gear 2 times and when I spun hard. That fat bike rocked me then

Desperate for those 8s I went and got some World Wide ceramic wheel bearings lol

Went back to the track on October 1st and only got 4 passes in as the track was just packed. Went 9.0 twice then 9.1 and a 9.2 on 2 wheelies. Brought the dog and he loved the track as a few other buddies had dogs and it was like a puppy play date at the track lol.

Kind of bummed I didn't get that 8 I decided to go back again on the 8th for one last shot at it, and I was pumped I did. First pass off the trailer it went 8.9 and knew it was going to be a good day. Ended up running 8.8's 5 times and went 8.9 4 times. Bike was fuckin moving this weekend in the cooler air.

Now I kind of want to try and set the bike up for some standing mile stuff and see if I can hit that 200mph mark.

Woo woo! Awesome job man! Glad you got that 8. You think the bearings helped or just the cooler air?

Finally got around to putting together a quick video of me and paul racing against our buddy with a turbo busa. Pauls on the blue bike with a big bore motor and we were pretty damn close, but he edges me out. The poor turbo busa was just fighting traction issues as it was pretty cold out and the bike needs help with the setup.

Starting to work on this thing again! Kinda miss tinkering out in the garage.

Going to pull the motor and send off the head off to get some head work done. Plan is to deck the head, port work, valve job, degree'd cams and thinner headgasket.The guy who is doing my head said he did a similar build for one of his customers and he made 209 on race gas and 199 on pump gas. I'd be extremely pumped to get 200 on race gas as that'd be a huge increase over what it makes now.

Going to try losing about 10-15ish more lbs between me and riding gear this winter. Hopefully with being lighter and that head work and race gas the bike can dip into the 8.6's so I can say its a mid 8 second bike lol.


Then after doing a track day or 2 in the spring I'm going to put it back to stock wheel base, do a couple aero modifications and see if this thing can do 200mph in a mile and a half out in Maine in September. Should be a fun year!:split:

[tehehodi]

Weren't you pondering the idea of using race bodywork for more aero?

[93gtpeater]

Your bike will fly with the head work. Woot woot. Can't wait for next year and some swb roll. Hopefully it's will be a better race when I can use 1st gear

[turbotalon1g]

This sounds very scary to me.

Yea, but can't spend money like I used to and head work seemed like the power would be there all the time for street and drag racing duty vs body work I'd really only use the one time. Still hope to get some sort of belly pan if it'd fit with my exhaust to help air move under the bike better and a big ol' ugly busa land speed racing front fender to help move air over the front tire better. They look ugly with that front fender, but guess its good for around 5mph

Fingers crossed. Hopefully get some more good races in next year!! I don't wanna be the slow guy lol

This sounds very scary to me.
Hopefully it isn't too scary. I figure I want to do it before we hopefully have kids as I'll have no time for a long while after I assume and by the time I will have time my reaction/riding skills will probably be shitty lol
