OK, i'll let you off this time ;D

Easter Sunday, I traveled to the other side of  England to watch a few mates at a drag meeting. (162miles)

3 guys was running 8.6s on Bussas.

One guy, Phil Wood (Woody) put a stonker down with a very fast 60foot and 1/8mile time, then bang :'( :'( :'(

His cam chain snapped, dont they all run at their best just before going BANG ;D ;D ;D

Yes...they do ;) He was probably using a manual tensioner...I'd bet my berries on it.

Not sure what sort of tensioner, I havn't heard what damage has been done yet.

Of the other 2, the guy with the fastest time 8.6 dead @ 170mph didn't win ;D

How come you dont drag yours after doing all this work and expence. ?

Sean...if you even just saw the wooden box they were shipped in.... I haven't seen that sort of stuff in at last 25 years. Nice effort on Hyperpro's part. My wife even thought it was really nice!!! :o

How far is New Hampshire, I had a mate that raced there in the 70s. Brian Zeky.

He was from Copake Lake in NYS.

He also raced one of my bikes in the 76 I.O.M TT.

He finished 15th.

and another thing... ;) You pull the trigger on that Busa and Jesus H Christ....first gear( and second) at 8,000 to 9,000 will start to scare the #$%* of you. My buddies 929 whose head I ported, Akra  Evolution system, and custom map does scare me sometimes. Awfully short and high the bike is. I don't like those super snap power wheelies anymore. :o
