Yeah it would be quite a sight to watch all these fast bike's without any butt/back support. Lets see who is the real man just by hanging on to the handlebars

You learn real quick when you run bars that a stationary butt is a happy butt. I learned the hard way last year and almost had to change my name to RacingJoyce

I got the last parts on Friday and it's going to be warm on Sunday. Maybe I can get some work done on it.

I assume you ran your bike this weekend. Lets hear how things turned out.

[RacingJake]

Not yet, the track will open on the 18.

[lecroy]

Well, I got jack done as well. Decided to work on the house instead. I thought the tracks down south were open all year around.

[RacingJake]

I think there's one in the DFW area that's is open, but i didn't want to do a 6hr round trip.

[lhanscom]

Just go for a nice trip around the block 8O

I probably would, as it would be killing me not to try it for 2 more weeks.

[lecroy]

Sounds fun, till u run over some kid who ran into the street to get their ball. Maybe no one lives on your block??

[lhanscom]

Hey, I didn't say I would wind her all the way up. Though I wouldn't need to go very far to say the only danger was to animals and myself.

[RacingJake]

The bike is ready, I'm ready but it looks like rain on Friday.

A guy can only do so many op's checks when she's in the back of a truck.

I got my fingers crossed

[lecroy]

I will be praying for warm dry weather for you.

[Hoomgar]

Knock um out Jake

Give us results please. Anxious to see how it goes for you.

Got in 11 runs today and didn't blow it up

Bike was running strong but couldn't get any better than 6.50's. Did no tuning just trying to get back in race mode. May need to work on the clutch as if felt like it was spinning to much on launch or maybe the tire??.

It was cool and damp out and the track was cold too. A few times when i was shifting at 8K the shift lite stay'ed on from 2nd to 3rd to 4th so something is going on. Only running 4 spings and 3 bolts/nuts and looks like I go 6 and 6 next time.

On a few runs the bike was on the bars most of the way down the track so it's making more power just got to get it to the ground.

Thinking of drilling the slides holes bigger, going back down to a 44 rear sprocket, add more spring and weights to the clutch. If that doesn't work then it's ported head time.

[lhanscom]

Have you considered changing your carbs? A set of Lectrons would probably make a pretty big dfference.

[rosco15]

Take the clutch apart and see if you burned them up. I would take it to a dyno as well to make sure your jetted correctly. Takes all the guess work out of it. That big motor should run like a SOB. You depress me every year with this racing talk. We don't start till april. Hell it's snowing here in ohio.

[RacingJake]

Yeap, I'm thinking of getting some bigger carbs and a ported head before the end of the racing season and as for the clutch I'll be taking it apart after Jr. wins the 500 today.

Ryan, come on down to Texas we still got some room.
My mom and brother live near Columbus and I hate to drive up there in the winter.
