Rick, hoping you were lurking, at least you have dyno sheets :) :) :), more
importantly you have red hat!!!
I sure like Dave Dahlgren, the day and a half I had bouncing queries off Dave
D., after I bent twisted and broke rods, is something I am truly greatful for.
Dahlgren is sharp enough to be involved with building some of the highest hp per

Rick I saw your ugly mug on Speedvision yesterday with the Sims crew standing
behind the 193 mph 600cc Suzuki that went 193mph, can you share anything from
your experience with that test on Honda's Proving Grounds???
Rick what are your landracing plans for next year, are you bringing the big bike
to the salt?
Also, what can you share regarding your nose over at El Mirage
Rick did you see the article I wrote in Motorcycle Street and Strip?, there is a
nice pic of you with the Busa
Joe (looking for a deal on a Scotts steering dampner) Amo :)
