    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

18 Runs Last Night---1/8

Got a few runs at 6.91 and 1.68 60 footers without bars. Bike was running good until my shift light starting acting up, like not coming on when it's time to shift. Maybe due to that little rain shower we had on Friday. The only real problem I had was my Butt. Our track finally fix the bump at the end of the track so I figure I'd remove my foam cushion from my little sissy bar. It work great until after a few wheelie's off the line and my butt came crashing dowm on that bar and it hurt like hell. It got to the point I was'nt looking forward to that 1-2 shift when that bar is trying to push you down the lane. Well that pads back on now.

Next week the wheelie bars are going back on and no more 7K dump the clutch. This time I'll be slipping the clutch alittle.

We did have one guy show up with a old factory turbo Kaw 750. He was lauching in second gear and spinning the tire off the line (looks like a 120 street tire). He run around 7.50 to 7.80 but his mph was 110. It was a fast bike, just needs a bigger tire and bars.
 
I am glad you got a break from all the rain and got to get a few runs in. What were your 60 ft times with the wheelie bars?
 
1.52 is my best 60ft with bars, but i've only had the bike at the track onetime with them on. So with alittle more practice that number should drop some more.
 
Nice! I think the best I have seen at our track with a bike is Cathy's GS1100 progas and she's in the 1.4s. I think her rear tire is 10-12 inches wide.

Thanks for keeping us up to date Jake!
