Odie, also note. Stealth was not running to the rev limiter before shifting, I think Stealth would have beat me with better technique on the dyno. I used to street race my Firebird alot so I picked up a few things about power shifting and launch etc... |

New12r, I agree. The launch, shift points, reaction time, clutch technique all have a play in things. Like I said earlier, I think just doing some dedicated dyno runs will show some different numbers. I'm not doubting your numbers at all, I'm wondering why Stealth's are so low, especially since they were on the same dyno. Glitch did say that they put Stealth's pipe on that morning so the ECM didn't have much time to learn what's going on. I'm going to dyno mine ASAP to see what she does. All I need is a time machine so I can do all that I need to do throughout the day!! Take care....Odie |

Is anybody out there? I feel like I'm being ignored or am I just paranoid? |

Rooster2168, I think you're paranoid!!! Ha! Did your jacket fit good?? I haven't had a chance to put my pro-series plugs in all weekend, I've been putting a lift kit among other things on my old Commanders Jeep. It never ends. You aren't at work still are you? If not I'll see you monday night...Later, Odie |

I can't sleep and when I do I dream about my old Buell. She's in the buell graveyard in the sky or for some the spirit world. I miss her!!!! She pasted on way before her time only 28000 miles. Such a young buell. O.K I'll stop at this hour I start getting a little out there! I really miss the sunday rides! |

Wow a couple photos of BRAG people on the DYNO made the HOG website. I tried to upload them onto here for you guys but the pics were too big and I don't have any photo editing software on this computer. So if you want to see them- http://www.pbase.com/smhog/smhd_anniv_party&page=all I guess we aren't as 'Stepchild' as we thought we were. They actually acknowledged that we were there, existed and participated. J/K but seriously it was cool to see the Buell's make an 'Appearance' in such force. Newr12 and I went to the hills yesterday to do a little 'cruising'. I just wanted to take it nice and easy being my first time on this bike in the hills. I did have a 1st yesterday- Fastest speed on 2 wheels (with me driving), when I looked down I was at 110mph but I didn't look again, I just kept goin'. We were overtaking 6 cars on 52 coming home and there wasn't time to 'look down' again or anywhere else except where I was going. It was a good day- so good it knocked me out from 10pm to 9am this morning. Hope you all have a good Monday!!! |

B_S: Thanks for the run, my butt still hurts from that spank'in I got. I wish I could have stayed longer and watch everyone else run to, sounds like I missed out. Ya'll took some good pictures. Looks like Buell had A good turnout. 3%ers represent. |

Sounds good Glitch. If the numbers don't look that great I will build up the different version that we talked about and send it out to you. Did you get my email with my numbers?? Later, Odie |

Did you get my email with my numbers? Yes, I'll call soon. drag Stealth along with you That'd be great, but Stealth is as busy as I am, and he lives so far away. But, if you're up for it Stealth, give me a ring. |

Stealth, got it! Thanks alot. I'm glad you're happy with it. I know I have alot of fun doing more and more wheelies. In fact I was just leaving work and the gateguard girl at the gate was yelling at me "Do a wheelie" so I popped a nice, long one off for her. She was all smiles. Fun to be had by all. I am going to dyno mine within a week or two. It's amazing what a big difference the pipe makes. Did you get the heat barrier in no problem? This summer you may want to take a look at my under-seat barriers too. I took mine out for the cooler months to get as much heat as I can! Thanks again, spread the word! Odie |

B_S, lovin' the seat as much as you are lovin' yours! Keeps me in place alot better. I think I'll still switch out for longer rides....Thanks again...Odie |

Yea Odie the heat barrier went in well. I work in a 9 story brick building and every morning when I come in to work I like to rev it up pretty good in case there are any women and children within earshot. Upon doing so today I was coming through the intersection with the front dancing about a foot off the ground! Whoops! Thanks again!!! I am totally stoked. My damn bike finally sounds as serious as it should. I have people everywhere breakin' necks to get a load of me. BWAAAP! BWAAAP!! BWAAAP!!!

Stealth, be careful, wheelies in GA are Reckless Driving Awards! I know I got one and my tire was only a couple inches off the ground in a second gear power shift. |

I will post them as soon as I can find the cable to connect my camera to a computer. DOH! I will do my best to avoid a Reckless Driving Award. Odie is making it tough on me though! The one this morning was completely unintentional! Thanks again for your help. |

Sunday Meet up at Tooseys around 9.30-10.00. It will be two Triumph RAT packs and some friends of mine. I'm planning on breakfast in Little 5 before hand, probably Flying Biscuit around 7.30a. Everyone is invited whether for breakfast or the ride. |
