besides wasting money on dragging the bike....

do what a real rider does and run laps at black hawk and road america....

nothing like putting on a full body condom suite, and scrapping your knee as your turn at 120+mph, coming out of the corner with one wheel up...

anybody can race a straight line...

Thanks for the kind words guys. I am not a fan of circle tracks or road racing. I never have been. I am a drag racing guy at heart and always will be. There is something about going single digits, over 140mph+, 2" from the ground that makes my dick twitch.
