I do understand, Warpo.
Used to barely crack 180 frequently on my Ninja. My license plate ring read "Life begins at 170!"
Cracking 200 back then was a dream on a street legal bike.
130 max on my R3R after several attempts was a disappointment.

130 your sped limiter is

Hey Bull its not that I am looking for sponsors and=s much as I am looking for some support incase Irun in to some saftey inspection changes that need to be met. It ould be some simple changes that need to be made that I might not be prepared for. It basically boils down to what the insoectors think on that day. I really want o run the races but it is looking like to much of a pain in the arse to do the same speeds I do on the country roads. simple thing like if my fuel line is not protected like they wnat and getting it changed to meet there believed conception on site might be a problem. I am really only looking to get in the 200 mph naked club and could set the blown gas record at the same time without tryying to do 230 mph +. The simple fact id the regulations are much more stingent the =n one thinks especially when it has to deal with the inspectors opinion at that time. I know its weird as most captions worry about grinding the **** out of their pegs and not max speed. Not to drag up dark side peopele but if they could see mathematice=s the would understand how much easier it is to drag pegs with a car tire (no matter what speed) I am not one to look for draging metal which is like draging a boat anchor and can easily slow a vehicle down. I one cannot see that then he is mathematically impaired. (not sure about the spelling here) It boils down to enjoying a ride with captains or racing period !!!

Warpo,
You keep us posted about those curve balls at the LSR. As R3Tex said, there are those of us willing to help with what we can.
I agree about the twisties versus speed; although, I believe more perfer the speed than max performance in the twisties.
I don't want to drag $hit - I want to lean! This big bruiser is a handfull and woefully lacking compared to a good sport bike.
I am not remotely as fast I was 20 or more years ago - skills have eroded somewhat; but, I'd still like to get the bike set up so I can wring the most out of it that my old ass can and still have the bike able to take more without dragging!
All out speed is kewl; but, to me, just not as challenging or as big a pump as muscling around the twisties.
Best Regards,
1olbull
PS: I forgot - are you telling me I can increase my top end with a tune?

I have laid out three day rides from/to Ouray. They may be a tad long for some as they come in at 300 - 400 miles. Early starts?
My thought (suggestion) is to arrive Sunday, visit and relax on Monday, do the three day rides, visit and relax some more on Friday and then head home Saturday.

just what might these here rides take us as I know this area half a** decent

thats if they can keep up cause im always leading must of the time and u can also count for at least 1 day of rain if u dont believe me just ask any one that has rode with me

you really reeeaaaalllyy don't want to get caught in a rain storm up in that area

If I were coming alone, I could make it in a couple of days. With SWMBO along, it is either ride for 5-6 hours a day and rest, which will extend the trip out waaaay too far, or have her drive the Jeep and tow a trailer. This will be the first stop of a great big circle. E. WA to Ouray, to Colorado Springs, to Estes CO, to the middle of Montana, and then back home. So, I guess it will be me, the wife, the bike, the Jeep and a trailer. It'll look like a parade!!

bob

These suckers wern't accurate; so, I 86'd them. This new Google Maps is confounding me. Think I'll try a switch to Bing Maps and see . . .
