[Shotimes] removal of air box for a new toy!

[Ron Porter]

The Yamaha XS11 Special (1100CC) was the first bone-stock bike to run in the
11s back in '78. My '79 XS11 Special has a Kerker 4-in-1, which adds a few
HP. If I had the balls, it would run easy 11s. I no longer have the balls to
do full-throttle in 1st gear, as all 600+ #s lift the wheel REAL easy.

Show me ONE Harley that can run even mid-12s.

Sorry, I am not/never have been/never will be a Harley guy. They are
cruisers....which ain't my thing.

If I were to ever buy a new bike it would be a Hayabusa, and I would update
my will the day I bought it!! Bone-stock 9-second-ETs have an appeal to me.

Feel free to bring that HondaYamaKawaZuki bike of yours out of storage
anytime!! I'll show you what a Harley runs like!   :p

At least the "rice rockets" (your term) have the performance to go with
the sound.

Removing the mufflers from a Chevy Aveo would be as loud as a
Harley.....with similar performance.
