      Yeap it's ugly just like it's owner

      I guess that why kids come up to it and I tell them jump on that seat and twist that throttle and they get a kick out of it. Gotta start them young !!

            Just like women, the dirty ones are always more fun to ride! Teach the kawboys a lesson.

              What a brute!
              Are those rear turn signals? Don't tell me 559 is street legal.

                Thanks Guys !!

                Had the gas mask on it for like 8 years now and it's getting alittle worn out. Need to stop by the Army Surplus store for an another one.

                I have been thinking of trying a small car tire, coffee can jammed in the pro pipe and a small speedo, only problem is the 1/2 gallon fuel cell and 40mm lectrons??

                  Still working a few bugs out but did run three 6.21's and one 6.22 in the 1/8 during T&T on C14 race fuel. Next time I'm going to try VP110 and see if I can drop another tenth. Then I'll try a few nitrous runs and get her back in the 5's.

                  I did blow up my mechanical advance again, might need to upgrade my MC2 ignition cause I'm running out of advancer's

                        That's a nice looking bike you got there !! I forgot about those chrome front fender's from back in the day.

                        It's an old V&H pipe that's sounds pretty good at 10K

                          I've gone through a few of them, I guess they don't like to turn over 10K ?

                          I'd finally ordered a Dyna rotor with the degree markings to replace it.

                            looks like it'll go at least a hundred.
