between us moving and then it getting hot here I haven't been back to the track
to test the shock set up but have got in a little street riding.

Few week's ago I was at a bike night listing to some dude with a sportster running
his mouth about how bad his sporty was so I called him out and like most H.D. guy's he talked
shit about no way my little 650 could beat his "built" sporty.
I put a $100 bill on his seat and told his buddy's you gonna let him back pedal out of a race after talkin shit
they put him on blast and ragged his ass till he said ok.

Seem's funny when we got to the bar after he didn't have a lot of shit talkin left in him as he gave me my beer money

Hey Dave, Glad to see Ya' back on the forum! Gee? I hope you were nice enough to buy him a beer! :laugh:
My old Shovelhead went 105 mph once, when I was younger, FLH transmissions have gear drive cable to the speedo right off the transmission, so they are accurate. And that 105 was after I rolled back the throttle about 1/8 of a turn. My OEM Bendix was a little too rich, I ran it that way to keep my short straight pipes chrome and not blue.
Yes crazy weather all over the country this year. It was 91' OMG in Buffalo, NY last week :woohoo: I did not leave my AC and cellar!
Weather man is saying 94 and humid tommorow!
I feel sorry for all you guys down south and south west and west

Yeah it's been very hot the last two months. Seems a little better now.
Dave, did you tell him about your engine or just let him "Assume" it was just a 650? Either way I'd like to have been there. :woohoo: More track news to come. I always liked them B)

Hahahahahah! :lol:

Right on ZukiDave! B)

Wish I coulda' been there at the bar to see the goober's face blushing after getting his ass handed to him. There's nothing more enjoyable than watching the moment someone gets served a big ol' slice of humble pie.

Cheers to the win!
