Sorry Andy, it musta been the few mothballs that rolled into the fuel by accident.....it won't happen again ;)

Did you say something Baird? No wonder my hearing is so bad, I keep forgetting to tone this race bikes exhaust note down to an acceptable level.......or is it because of the Deep Purple and Led Zepplin concerts I went to in the 70's ? Prolly a little of both :D

LOUD AND FAST what more could you want. too loud? stay in front if you can. me? i cant hear nothing everyone knows that. dennis
 
Here's a few pics of the bike ready to race again. I spent another half hour getting the remaining thorns out of the rear tire yesterday. All told there were approximately 200 thorns in the front tire and 75 in the rear. I think I'll be running a few ozs of slime from now on, just in case.

See you in the pits.......
 
That sucks. I use mr. Tuffy tire liner and no flats for me. When i use to work at a bike shop i see thorns penetrate through the tires & the tire line just gets a dent in it but stops the thorn. It really works. Plus I'm just lazy & don't want to take the rear wheel off to change the tube.

New tires Scotto
 
Still looking awesome, scotto-!
It had incredible power before when I rode it. How is it now?
How soon 'till you'll need a parachute and wheelie bars on the back?

You're bike still looks scary fast standing still!
I'm just hoping you have a lousy hole shot and have to work your way back to the front of the pack because that's the only chance I have on beating you in a couple of weeks! J/k on the hole shots...or am I? lol ;)
I still haven't had a chance to see my bike since the last race and I'm pretty sure I have to replace both inner tubes.
I'm going to try out the tubes Goat recommended but use the same old tires. When my rear tire was new, I had a bad rear wheel hop that almost threw me off the bike exiting the corners. I think the hook worms have too much grip when they're new and need to be scuffed.

I'm looking forward to some good racing in a couple of weeks...

I'm thinkin the sooner, the better........at least a wheelie bar anyway. You gotta take it for a ride now, then you can tell me.

Yeah Dave, Mr Tuffy's work really well, I used to use them in my mtn. bike tires when thorns were an issue.......and some slime as well. They do add considerable weight to a wheelset however.

We sure did Scotto! If I would have know your Buddy was out there taking pictures, I would have given him my camera to take pictures. Lots of great action that weekend!
Looking forward to 2013 for more fun times at the track!
 
This is the reason I built this bike......to race! And too also win races.....it does both.

The engine hasn't been rebuilt yet, it has less than 45 hours on it. It will get rebuilt when it blows.....if that ever happens. It could happen......was turning 8,640rpm that day on it......most impressive!
