Don't piss in the guy's cheerio's just because the majority of the frequent posters prefer sportbikes. PREFERING sportbikes does not equal hating cruisers. At least not for me. If you prefer redheads, I bet you a billion dollars I could still find some brunettes you'd be happy to bang. While an old Harley is not the ideal platform to go fast on, he's acknowledged and accepted that. The guy didn't ask "do you think I should drag race my Harley?" He asked if anyone would be willing to lend hands, tools, and ideas to help build the bike he already owns and likes. Think of it as making HIS bike faster, not making the fastest bike available. I may take the XR to the 1/8 drags to practice launches. Is everyone going to get on my case for that too? yeesh... If I were closer to Columbus ...well, I probably still wouldn't be much help. But I'd drink beers in the garage and tell him to keep up the good work!

Always crate unattended dogs! Before I did, my dog ate the strap off of one of my riding boots.

Eat me.

Unless it keeps going down to pre-over-inflated rates.

Really Bowdog pretty much has anything a real man wants. I heard his pepe is huge too. Just a rumor I heard though, I wouldn't know or anything.

Claude Brian L. Dustin S. your ticket/s Have been filled out & emails of ticket pics sent to you via PM. stubs have been put in my bag with the Money (I'll write check) to be dropped of tomorrow afternoon. any questions just ask

I'm not a Harley hater at all, I just hate the drunken pirates that play biker on the weekends. My post was a joke, stretched 600? Come on! It's a slam on squids. I like old Harley's the way I like 40-50's hot rods. I just don't think they are the easiest platform to go fast on. Chill out bubbys. Sheesh...

I'm in that club too. There are quite a few on here that understand where you're coming from. E.T. racing is the most cost effective way to regularly race and be competitive. If you're running in a class with no delay boxes then you have as good a chance as anybody to take the win light. I respect and undersatnd what you're doing and I wish you all the luck in the World.Unfortunately I live more than an hour from you and really don't have anything to contribute to your pursuit. If you're down this way I'll happily help you out if I can. I live about 10 miles from Kilkare so I'll probably see you there at some point. This is my track jalopy: If you see me at the track stop over and introduce yourself.

Ok, well, Damn Some of yall need to realize something about fast and motorcycles. Now Im not trying to be a smartass or a jerky attitude, BUT here is the cold hard facts, A> Harley Davidson and Indian were the first 2 race bikes. B> hence the name SPORT in Sportster, they were the first Sports bikes here in the states. Granted, the HD corp dont give a flying rats anus about speed and the cunsumer. I am not a fan of stock Harleys or really evos are not my cup of tea. America started mc racing and perfected it for a long time before Japs and Brits brought their stuff here. I dont care what anyone rides but if its a friend, of course Id bust their balls for riding tea or rice rockets. Its fun. I dont go up to strangers and say "hey dude, jap bikes suck" I deserve the same. C> My bike in its day was a very fast and the most commonly used engine in mc racing. Now on to better things, I am going ET racing, there is no heads up racing around so wheather I'm slowest or the fastest, I have the same shot. ET drag racing is all about consistency. Things like set ups and such things are key. I have a rigid, I explained all that but, its ALL I have and ALL I can work with. I know all about amra, a and AHDRA folding up. A lot of racers stopped. My opinion, its cool to race an all aHarley event but Id rather beat the Japanese and British machines at the far end. In Bracket or ET racing, fastest dont always win and sometimes its the slowest of the day I am on the north side close to I-71 and weber road AND a BIG THANKS those who contribute positive. Hell, never know when one of these slow old Harleys cruises up and pulls over to save your day, I already pushed a honda home and wrenched it to health for a total stranger. if its 2 wheels its a mc to me

I build fast cars.

Where on the north side of Columbus do you live I live in circleville which is south but I could swing by on a weekend I have off and see what your working with. Pretty handy with wrenches

I give to you...the Razz. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/3882592788.html

Try the multitude of Harley forums out there. You'll get no help here.

I. O!! I guess he was tripping his balls off.....

I agree with everyone, but you can't race AHDRA or AMRA with anything but an American piece of iron. If that's the lifestyle he wants then Harley is the way he's got to go. http://www.amraonline.com/ AHDRA is dead: http://www.ahdra.com/ I don’t really know where to start. This is one of the toughest things I have ever had to do. I guess the best thing to do is just get it out of the way. The 2013 AHDRA Championship Points Series is cancelled. I am sorry for holding everyone up, but there was potential to work this out and I wanted to give it the best shot. Unfortunately, it did not materialize. With our declining sponsorship support, most likely driven by our declining racer and spectator attendance, most likely driven by our crappy economy, we are unable to plan a budget that has a positive bottom line. This would be the 5th year of negative cash flow for AHDRA and she just can’t stand it financially. Although they were committed to remaining as a presenting AHDRA sponsor for 2013, Harley-Davidson is moving most of its sponsorship spending to the NHRA’s Sportsman series. Last week’s news from the folks at Rush Racing Products, that they would not be continuing their sponsorship at AHDRA, was the final blow. These were our two largest sponsors and contributed the lion’s share of sponsor revenue for AHDRA. I want to thank Hawaya Racing, Vreeland’s H-D, Irene Fish, Frank Capone, RC Components, Gainesville H-D and all the others that have committed their support for 2013. However, without the level of support from Harley-Davidson and Rush, we can’t make the numbers work. I also want to thank Harley-Davidson and Rush Racing Products for their many years of support. Business is business and though I wish it were different, they made their decisions based on what’s best for their future. I have enjoyed working with Kris Schoonover at H-D and Terry Daniel and Lou Pringle at Rush. These were hard decisions for them to make, and I respect their need to make them. I also want to thank all of the AHDRA members and competitors. You are one great group of people. I have lived and breathed Harley Drag Racing for the past 14 years, and have met some of the finest people I have ever known. You inspired me and kept me going through the good times and the rough times. Please know that more than anything; you are what I will miss. On the bright side, there’s a bunch of places to race this year. AMRA looks like they have a good schedule. And with the Manufacturer’s Cup Series and NHRA offering several new venues, there should be ample opportunities to race. Maybe there’s even an enterprising entrepreneur out there that would like to take up the reins of AHDRA and run with it! I am open to any and all possibilities…… Sincerely, Craig Tharpe AHDRA memberships that were mailed in will be returned and if you signed up online with a credit card your card has not been charged. An official press release with more particulars will be published next week.

i admire your passion, and i hope you have luck finding someone who can help you out.

Since I don't know what I'm doing, it's good to know that what I'm doing is the same way that someone who sounds like they know what they're doing is doing it. Yeah, das it.

I will post a youtube vid from the last time I went. You will be sore after a half hour if you arent used to them. BTW I spoke with Todd and will be registering this afternoon... heres to hoping I dont wad my shit up.

Brian, Howard, MJ and I did a class with S.T.A.R.T. training outta Steubenville, on Saturday. I highly recommend everyone sign up for one. Check out the absolute BS blog for recap. I have also picked up a G19. The med beavertail backstrap seems to make me shoot a glock centerlined for the first time ever. Working on a couple complex holsters for me belt, hoping to finish the last of the sanding up today.

Glad I'm the only one smart enough to screen shot

How I feel trying to read some posts on here

Would make a great slogan for not do drugs. "Shrooms; the drug that makes a man a woman" " one bad trip can leave you dickless"

The way it should be;)

Sounds like he bit off a bit more than he could chew. jus' sayin'

Is the parking sign on the back removable?

Thinking to myself..... "Don't get married, don't get married, don't get married, don't get married, don't get married, don't ever get married,..."

Is the project a 30 second bonfire?

No penalty if you are a member according to the membership benefits. I'll be there. Meeting up with some friends. Hoping for a good weekend. My first track day of the season. Looking forward to shaking out the cobwebs. My last one last summer ended with a mangled bike in the last session so looking for some retribution. CCW is the most fun-est ever!

In France, it's raffel.

I talked my really old mom into buying a convertible Mercedes. Think about it.

The 919 All bagged up:

You have a Nissan leaf and a Ducati 1199 I feel like your man card needs to be taken away and you deserve a blow job all at the same time

I got 2 words speed and aerodynamics which Harleys don't have I'm sorry to tell you plus they areheavy. Japanese bikes make more power and way less

^this. You'd be better off building a drag tractor. Buy a 600, slap a stretched swing arm on it and go race.

Why waste the time? It's going to be ridiculously expensive to make an old hardly go fast.... I get if you want an old rat rod type bike, but you need to change a couple expectations... If you wanna go fast and don't have much money, you ain't gonna do it on an antique harley... You'll have less money in buying a newer bike to race than you will fabbing up crap to make yours fast

Lol. But I really hope they find this guy and fry him. Joins as an 18X and can't hack it so he medicals out rather than finish his four as 11 bang bang. The CIA sees fit to give him a job and a clearance. Gets a job with the NSA making bank. Sees something he doesn't like and decides to break his clearance to tell the world about it. Decides he wants the credit due so he does it publically so everyone knows it was him....After fleeing to a non-extradition country so he can get the credit without the punishment....And then proceeds to start running more once we set our sights on him. Whining about not being able to get a fair trail while still leaking more information. Fucking putz. Cut out his tounge, tie a US flag around his neck and drop him on the Paki/Afghan border.
