Did Brian ride bulls in the past? He's got the hand up and all, and stayed on the full 8 seconds.

Lol, I'm glad everyone was ok for the most part so we can make comments like this, lol. If I knew how to give rep I'd rep ya.

Haha sorry to laugh but that video is hilarious with your dad in the background slow-mo, "oooohhhh sssshhhhiiittt" lololool. Glad you're fine so I don't feel bad laughing.

Yes really freakin hot. I just took a 20 minute cold shower that was really refreshing though. Racing went well for me. Some new personal bests, and unfortunately I feel my best laps didn't get recorded b/c my dumbass forgot to put my transponder on the first sprint. And ya some more bad crap going on during the start, and after the restart. People just couldn't keep there bikes on the track. At one point there were 3 bikes laying off in corners somewhere. Hopefully everyone was ok. Didn't appear like the ambulance had to take anyone away.

There's still a riders meeting which technically you should be there for. Also there's practice that you can go out for before the races. But if you really wanted to show up just before your race you could and I don't think anyone would say anything.

Must've forgot he put that extra round in the chamber?

Yours is next...

Hey now, that was years ago, I've learned to ride a little since then. But yes, says the guy who was pushing his bike through a lama farm. How many people do you know that can say that?

Haha sorry, low blow but it had to be done.

Wow, so a walrus really can ride a bike after all?

Ya, I mean that worked out great for Joe and all. No need for practice,just get out there and do the damn thing! So what if you crash twice in 1 day.

So things worked out with the bike I was working on getting, and I think I have my street bike sold. Count me in for a set, not sure if I'm gonna go with the optimal or the armour bodies though, still waiting on a price for a.b. I have optimal on my bike now and the quality was decent for the price. Anyone have experience or thoughts on the armour bodies? Are they on par with sharkskinz?

I think I get dibs on a spare bed since I helped carry it in, lol. Or since the fiance is gone, the other half of your bed...the moaning helps put me to sleep and assures wet dreams will be had.

Technically your petcock in the "on" position is its off...unless there is vacuum from the carb. Prime is wide open, and reserve is reserve. Put an on/off petcock on it so that doesn't happen again. You'll also need to cap the vacuum line that went to the old petcock at the carb. As others said, the float stuck. There should be an overflow so it doesn't flood the engine, maybe its clogged? Perhaps its time for a carb cleaning and replace the seals on the floats too.

Part it out or sell it as a parts bike. You won't get much for it for scrap. Even if you sell it for scrap value to get rid of it quick, at least it may see another life as someone else's project.

I'm sure John will have no objections to this. Next round he'll be waiting in his trailer for you between sessions.

For me, ATGATT doesn't mean "All The Gear All The Time" it means "All Track Gear All The Time." I've been made fun of for showing up on a spirited ride with a few buddies wearing full track gear. One of those buddies I had to convince to wear a helmet or I wasn't going to ride with him. A year later, that helmet probably saved his life. Only thing that might change is on a shorter, less spirited ride I'll have on my kevlar jeans and a leather jacket with built in back protector instead of the 1 piece leathers. Still have over the ankle riding boots and gauntlet gloves.

Lol, you guys....quit gaying up my for sale thread!

Is this anything where there will be ducatis or triumphs there to check out? I thought about it, but I'm afraid I'll probably be all Nelsoned out after a track day there Saturday and races Sunday.

I hear ya. I'm not in a huge hurry to sell it so it might be around a bit. I have it listed on a Triumph website and here, thats it. Not really wanting to deal with ebay, having to ship it and all that just yet.

So I have a lot of experience with boosted cars but not bikes. How well does a stock bottom end on a bike handle the boost? What kind of psi do you plan to run? Also, I laugh that you are running the stock clutch. Not laughing at you, but at others that have suggested I should plan to replace my clutch after one night at the drag strip. What kinda hp does a setup like yours make? Are you doing any fuel system upgrades like injectors, fuel pump/line, etc? As some of the others said, I'm a knee dragger not a drag stripper, but I'm still a gear head and respect a well done project like yours. Keep up the good work!

^ That all sounds about right. Except you forgot the part about vomiting just a little bit in your helmet and hoping everyone doesn't see it running down the front of your leathers.

You can always buy it and keep it at my place? I promise to only sit on it and make vroom noises, I won't ride it anywhere.

It's only to make room in the garage for other things, no worries!

No, the grips and mirrors were removed by the previous owner. I never got them. Get those finances sorted out and come check it out!
