Apology accepted, if you could see the joy in my son face when we ride together, then I do believe you would have never made that statement. Just remember you can stop quotes like that. I do thank you for the apology, if your ever in the Atlanta area, my boy and I will buy your first round.

Andrew Hines of V&H Racing team's personal best with a top fuel dragster that will smoke any Busa is 6.860 at 197.45 MPH. I have spent some time at the Track. It's been awhile, But I used to drag race. Have a good day Turtleman, the world needs more like you.
I sold my Turbo Busa last year. It now resides in Chicago. My passes and personal best can't compare or even come close to National Records. I never said I had any records. I only said what I have done on a bike I once owned... You said a busa can't go that fast and you are clearly mistaken.

Here's video proof for those that doubt what a street legal busa can do, without wheelie bar like Hines has lol

I saw that same video. If you read my post, I didn't say a busa wouldn't run that fast. I said it had to be setup for a dragstrip. Geared and everything. Top speed on a stock busa is well below 204 mph.

Good luck with that, sometimes the looking cool factor outweighs the common sense factor. Hope everything stays safe with you. Just don't take it to Sturgis and try and ride those twisties.

Me, I'm still waiting for the "darksiders" to respond to my post stating that mounting a 175 CT on a rim designed for a 140 is risky. I'm very curious to read their comments on the issue.
Cool is one thing, potentially dangerous is another. By the way, what I wrote has nothing to do with CTs. I would have wrote the same thing if the guys wanted to mount a 175 MC tire on this rim.

Sure am glad i can't do this on my 07. I just have to decide between Dunlop, Metzler, Michelin, and Avon (probably left a few out too).

I'll let you know how it turns out in the Spring, because I'll be putting one on my '07 Ultra. That's all I can say right now
