I don't need to do 140 to pass other riders. I just wait patiently at the back of the pack and wait for everyone else to knock each other off, fall off, lose something vital off their bike or blow their motor up at the end of the straight(why is there no tongue-in-cheek smiley?)
I'm in it for the fun. As soon as money is involved it gets too serious.
Bring it on ladies and gentelmen I'm not going to let it go with out a fight LOL
5 mph faster onto the straight 5 mph all the way down it .
I think Mr Duff will take it that bike is a missile if it stays together he will lap us all well unless F5 dave you can get the 100 flying ? Then I will have to go for best FXR carn't wait its a brilliant weekend .
FYI and just before i head off to the sack ... my bike has a Walbro carb that appears to be a chinese copy of a Honda GL145 carb. Same 28mm dia as standard but with throttle slide and accelerator pump. The exhaust is a pitbike muffler that I bought for 50 bucks from the same guy that sold me the bike. The "genuine" Yoshi sticker is starting to peel off from the heat. :-) All you need to win at Mt Wgtn with an FXR is the right gearing, a carb without a gaping hole in the midrange, wider wheels and the best tyres you can lay your hands on. Unless Nigel's about, in which case you need some luck. Goodnight all. :-) Tim
PS. I'm with Rick on this. If Nigel's bike stays the course at Taupo, he will O-B-L-I-T-E-R-A-T-E us. :-)
IMHO... as far as the mofo fixer's go, it has bugger all to do with working an engine, each fxr seems to be different. I have been ported, mega, carb, cams and cdi.. yet still some al stocko's are faster (rider abilty, weight?) If this engine blows Id stick with a boger.
And as far as wheels go, wide rims might fit the tyres beter but they add weight.
ps: by stock I mean a rejet and pipe hack (seems to make the best improvment) by different I mean I have set two fxrs up like this yet both feel different hence my comment they all seem to differ.
then again LMAO, ya all seen me hauling serious arse last year at TRRS... well in pratice, till the big BANG![]()
cheers DD
