That was a lot of fun. Next time maybe I can get it to hook up. I should have gotten that table topped rear tire from Fixxer the other day. If I had continued to do little burnouts I think I could have hit mid 7s but that would require me to waste a lot of tire over some straight line fun.

Me neither. The next time I go will be once this tire has a lot of street miles on it so that I can get some hook.

Miles drug me every single time, even when we traded bikes. :((

Well the thing about that is....

But I really think that with a broken in rear tire I could be within pissing distance of the 675. Just a tiny burnout dropped my ET by 3 tenths.

Are we measuring from the hip or from the tip?

From the tip, a couple of bike lengths. Miles - The inline 3 is a lot of fun. To me it feels more natural to wring it out, kind of like a V8.
