First ride my Carpenter Rocket

No problem Hans I will never switch to a car tire as I like the control of a motorcycle tire better. I would not want to have something trying to waller all over the roades at the speeds I ride. The CT would definetly be unsafe. Now If I were to get another flat tire away from home where the tow would be exspensive I would slap one on there in a minute and cut the basturd off when I get home and burn it
 
Good bite.................. Just Messing with ya.... but imagine on that 17 inch rear wheel of yours, you could go for a really low profile say like a 25 profile it would mean as all Sh!t .... might'n handle to good (need some sidewall flex) but it would look good and hook up in a straight line
 

Its hard saying first its a 18 inch I went for that because there were more 240 MC tires to try. I got 4200 out of the shinko V rated and dirt cheap 157.00 USD . I have to look for what I am going to try next maybe a Diablo. Richt now I have th e16 inch exedra max on her and am quite impressed withthe grip and wear so far 2900 miles and hardly a flat spot in fact there was no flat spot until I started working on learning how to do a burn out Just showing off to the lady's and pissing there Hardley fellers off I would bet if I did not have all the power I could get 10,000 miles out of the exedra max but that would probably be the best. I should test it on Gracie but by the time I get to ride her again she will be a lean Silver to green Kameloen Flip Flop Carpenter Silverback machine. I figure since she has a silver motor the silver to green flip flop paint would go well with her. She will be one fast Hooligan bagger Only going withthe 240 HP kit and well maybe the Crower rods. HArd saying I already have the set in her plus a 06 and 07 set of OEM rods. I will need to check with Les as I believe he knows when Triumph did the rod changes. ALthough Allen has been drag racing his 05 withthe stock rods every weekend wth no problems. so I might just save the cash. I really want to get with Jason Desalvo next year preferably April while its cool out and run the Ohio mile with him. I think it would be a honor to run with a pro and the Salt Shaker especially since we will be in two different Classes. The I would not have to worry so much about him kicking my arse. I think it would be cool for Triumph if they had two Rockets making a statement and getting into the 200 mph naked club. After that I will probably give it up as I do not want to die just yet!!!!! Sure would be nice to get my Polish Name on the score card though.
 

are you related to the polish family named here Pysltchmizsnprwsky..it hurt my jaws just trying to pronounce it
 
as I said just messing with Ya ... 17 18 so what an inch between friends I just knew you had the bigger back wheel ..... don't tell any one but my next back tyre might be a excerdra max I just hope it gives as good a corner grip and straight line grip as I get out of the Federal car tyre I get postive hook up every time!! only have to watch it doesn't try and loop me when I take of hard as 9 out ten times the front gets Air

**** thats a mouth full but alas either your spelling it wrong or its actuall of Russian/Slavic origin. Polsh names end in ski not sky. good to know there are fellers out there with even more screwed up names then mine. People ask me why mine does not end in ski I tell them the polocks learned how to spell tobboggans
 


thanks I feel better already ..

Firstly Welcome from Auss

here's a link to what I did to get more Clean Air In http://www.r3owners.net/custom-mods/12381-bigger-better.html read further in the thread and you will see the strap that finnishes it all off nicely
 
Let Bob tune it without the filters and when you get it back put the big 4040's on it like hanso or the large pipercross liek duncan. when you go to the races you can take the filters off and thrash the other bikes. Thats how I am going to do mine. Only I will be using the pipercross. I sent pictures of hanso's and the piper cross in the e-mail to ya.
I am outof here have to work in 4 hours.
