I won a race and set some new bests yesterday

[Dennis]

It was an interesting day. I won the bike race (only 8 bikes) on my trusty grey/black 2008. A friend gave me some MR12 race fuel to try. He said with no tuning it picked their bikes up .15 and a couple mph. It did the same for me. I went 8.69 @ 157 on pump gas, then with the MR12 I went 8.57 @ 158.78, so more than a tenth and almost 2 mph gain for me. The interesting thing was it gained most of the et in the 60'.

That was cool to go my new best on motor, so then I made a pass on my new bike, a full weight (except exhaust) blue/black 2008 that I just got a couple weeks ago. A buddy of mine had been running it during the day and I thought I'd try it out. Turns out that while it is 6" over it has the stock front sprocket on and a 45 in the back, so not much gearing. It runs through the 1/4 in 4th gear (rpm limit raised). My 60' was off due to the gearing and not being used to the bike, but that thing went 154 mph. I don't know where that came from. My buddy was going 152 on it but he weighs 35 pounds more than me.

I checked the DA when I got home and it was over 2500 all day, and over 2700 when I ran the blue bike.

This will probably go down as one of those magic days that lives as a motivator to carry on looking for the new bests.

loving that Muzzy! how did you lower your busa?

I'm 160 out of the shower, so probably 175 with all my gear on. The bike is fairly light though. A friend of mine went 1.29 on a stock motor Busa the same day and he weighs 195 out of the shower so he's for sure a better rider than me.

The blue bike is lowered with the basic three hole lowering links. I like the adjustable links that I have on my other bike better, but I'm using what it came with. I can't complain about the Muzzy exhaust - that's the best mph I've gone on a Busa set up like that.
