Joe
I didn't know the Honda Proving Grounds story was on TV yet the magazine
won't be out for a few months
It was a lot of fun on a 7.5 mile oval coming out of the corner at 150 mph
and stabbing the nitrous button
I don't know exactly what I am going to do next year but I will run 2 maybe
3 bikes
it might be the Turbo GSXR's last year. We are going to run in the 220's
with it.
The nose over at El Mirage was caused by 2 collapsed domes on the outer
pistons

I think I am having a air distribution problem.
Anyone have any ideas????
here is a picture on my plenum

will go pickit up
what issue it in??
So you are looking for one of these??

I think it is the best steering dampner out there but don't know where to
get a deal on one
