A good day at the track.

Big thanks to Mike Kristen at Custom Bugs and Busses at Penrith

I must add, Russell Sarten got through the first round, Henry unfortunately got knocked out along with myself. A good time was had by all and no breakages.

Nice wheelie, are wheelie bars going on soon? What sort of times were you doing, did you do any damage when it landed?

LOWBUG ·

No sissy bars for me, just need to learn how to drive it.
No damage really, just flattened the tail pipe a little.
Times, I ran a PB of 11.60 at 121.22mph. This was the run after the wheelie, the wheelie run still got me across the line at 12.3 at 118mph.

Again thanks to Mike at CBB who also built a tuff trans, and got the suspension set up so it would bite hard.

Henry also reminded me that going up isn't going forward, words of wisdom once again.

That's one quick street car Chris, good job on the gerbox, with that kind of traction you'd expect to find a bunch of broken bits.

Wise words from Henry.

LOWBUG ·

Yep Mike did a great job on the box, keeping in mind I had know intentions of pulling a wheelie, it was totallly unextecped thus the soiled underware. I don't want to do that too offen or I'll probably find the next week point in the drive train.

Not to mention running out of underwear
