Of course! I've worked my ass off this winter Sam and decided to treat her to something special. You should see what I put on the Hayabusa today!

OK... an Ohlins 3 way adjustable rear shock with remote preload adjuster. It is #$%*'n. Everybody keep in mind .... I work my ass off about 60 hours a week to get this stuff.

OK, i'll let you off this time

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

Sam.

Yes...they do

He was probably using a manual tensioner...I'd bet my berries on it.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #11 on:** April 20, 2006, 09:08:02 PM »

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

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

Sam.

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!!!

Because it is too short and I don't want to break it.

I've just been working in the garage for the first time in months(it seems) and am feeling rather giddy,Sam. Dreaming of what this rusty pile will eventually be. Then Mike has to go and post those beeeyooootiful shocks and the rubber band just snapped

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.
