Happy days Kev!
Any onboard videos of a 60-130 pull (in Mexico of course)?

Personally I would love to see a Rocket 3 in a true motorcycle configuration (not a streamliner) hit 200 mph. I'm gutted we didn't accomplish it but if Kevin or someone else gives it a shot I'll show up to support them.

We know horsepower, torque and gearing aren't insurmountable obstacles but handling and aerodynamics can be a little sketchy. We know finding someone willing to take the wild ride isn't a problem either.

My philosophy comes from an very old movie "the best of life is nearest to the edge of death there is nothing wrong with suffering if you suffer for a purpose because it simply makes the danger of death worthwhile". I want to live life to the best effect, dragging out life to the last possible second isn't living life to the best effect.

You can never tell what I'll be doing next. I'm pretty sure I'm not finished with land speed racing. A video announcement in a week or so.

I had an oil analysis done, looking good. I was hoping there wouldn’t be a tablespoon of aluminum in there

Kevin this week will be registering for 2024 Speed Week in the 3000cc M-G class

Racebox mounted for mexico. (Widowmaker will be having a beauty appointment this afternoon when it warms a bit he was run hard and put up wet yesterday, 12 hour 425 mile shakedown went ok) chasing these hooligans yeah i said it

And the seat came in today, Corbin made it much faster. They reshaped the seat for me and diamond stitched it all black leather. Deeper in the seat now and narrower up front on sides, keeps my legs tighter to frame instead of being forced outward. Feels like im pretty locked in.

Every little bit, why, because it makes me happy, This is the go as fast as you can in a strait line settup.

you know that may help if you kept the front wheel on the ground.

After ecta Konrad and i decided to check compression on the Widowmaker, when i was building i had to move intake cam because of cylinder pressure being to high, i finally set to 210psi on all 3 holes, using my harbor freight and kawasaki gauges, well Konrad grabbed his autozone gauge, mine came in at 215psi but Konrad realized my gauge’s werent returning to zero, he thought my gauges were reading high about 25 psi to high, then we checked his gauge 195 on all 3 holes, so we agreed a new better compression gauge should be used, i ordered a new snap on from snap on the best i could afford, i checked today and 1 is 190/ 2 is 190/ 3 is 192. Bummed i messed this up, but knowing i can raise my cylinder pressure quite a bit brings a smile knowing horsepower will come with, so after Arkansas rally im gonna move intake cam and check valve clearances and retune to get ready for ecta fall event. Neville knew i had something wrong immediately but i was sure compression gauges were accurate, not. Anyway engine is doing good after several dynos, long hard runs, full bore runs and hoonin in the mountains. Cant wait to see how 25 psi helps this engine!
