Glitch/New12r...I called Latus Motors today and talked to someone about the exhaust. He sent me a fax with a Dyno. Looks like you get a 7 hp increase at he bottom and 4.8-5hp increase at the top. There is a very slight hole in the middle, I would say 1-1.5hp. Betcha wouldn't even notice. I'll bring the Dyno so you can see when we meet up next time. It's $399.00 directly from Latus-Motors. Think I gonna go with it in a few months. |

I'm not all worked up about it but I do have some concern that how this is handled could reflect on our BRAG chapter and future participation from these Vendors. I talked to Michael at the dealership and got him the info. Michael/Shred (too many Michael's) talked to Pete today. He said that he has been able to move his thigh, as we were told but still nothing below the knee. He isn't up for visitors yet and is still just trying to get his head on straight. He began physical therapy this afternoon so that is a good step forward!!! Michael/Shred is up for visitors. I'm sure he's going to need some, he's going to get sick of me real soon so please if any of you are on this side of town and would like to stop by just let me know. |

Pete called me this morning and sounded good. The call was short but it sure was sweet to hear his voice! |

Stealth...When I took my air intake off I noticed something weird. The piece is actually two and when I took them apart the whole inside was caked with red dirt. You woudn't have any insight on this, now would you..... JK. I know exactly where it came from..I believe it was your little "off roading" experience prior to my ownership. Anyway,I thought that was funny. Another little Stealth reminder seven months later. Any new news on Pete? |

Oops dian't realize Michael was logged in- THis is Rebecca You guys really do RULE!!! Michael keeps saying how it takes a special kind of person to ride a Buell and that has become apparent in how everyone has pulled together through the events of the last couple weeks. You guys are great!!! (Message edited by shred on October 05, 2004) |

As far as I know it is still on for the 14th. I will get confirmation today for you guys. Michael will be at the Vortex Thursday, he won't let me strap him to the back of my bike so I'll be taking the jeep but he want's to come say hi. He went to Wings Landing last night for a bit and got worn out pretty quick, not sure how long he'll last at the Tex but he'll be there for a bit. |

I won't make the tex. I have a Homeowner meeting on Thursday night. I have completed fabrication on the air ram and am in the process of trimming it out. Looks good but not sure it will fit correctly. I'll post some pics later. |

A4TR...I've heard them all. When people ask me If I am busy at work I just reply, "makin'em left and right!" All my contacts are with prosthetics and that might look weird as a sponsor to help out injured riders. |

Holy ! Did you get that from our old website? I guess nothing is safe with Glitch lurking around the net. Glitch...How ya like the scoop? Getting it to fit might be a headache but I will make it work. |

Looks extra good. Why do you think it won't fit right? There's lots of people with nice pictures on the web. Just have to remember to only use my photoshop super powers for good. Must resist...using photos...from web...must not...put someone's head....on someone else's body...must resist... Hi! Rebecca! |

I'm dying to see the "other pic". I might not fit right because when I poured the mold I had to break part of it away to remove the stock piece without damaging it. It is where the duct meets the frame. I had to literally build it back up with plaster and try and mold it just like the stock piece with the same contour and angle with a rasp and screenback. I am not sure that the angle is exactly the same. |

I will try...Very sleepy.... I will be here at the gym until 9:30ish working. I got to work at 5:30am just so I could get the air ram finished to install tonight. The initial fit looks great. I have to grind away a few things to help the fit but other than that it should be fine. I will have it on by late tonight. Depending on how long the meeting goes, I might be able to come down later. The meeting is at 7:00 and should last ~ 1hr. We have to get a new officers for the ASSociation. The current Pres is a dipshit. How late will you be staying @ the TEX? Hey, it let me say dipshit! |
