Default got my 4th kill!!

my friend got this ninja 250 (yea i know scooter with crotch rocket plastic). we just got through putting new tires on it the other day. i got on it to see if the wheels felt balanced on it. i read they top out bout 105. the best i could do is 115. and it took forever to get it there! shifted every gear around 14.5k rpms. i have read that they run 14.6@88 in a 1/4.

well 3 out of 3 races i eat him up.
first race he did get a bad start, so we went again.
2nd really good start, he jumped in front pretty quick but only for a second, when i finally got up to 5k rpms in first it was over, i hit second and left him. 3rd time really good start for both but like the second time, when i got to round 5k i started to leave him then hit second and slowed down.

it was all for fun, so not considered a "Kill" but i did win 3 for 3.

'00 ECSB, 5.3, 3.42's, G80

mods: K&N intake, hypercrapper, TB bypass.

and my air filter needs a cleanin badd!!

my friend still wont race me with that QC hemi anymore.
