Funny story had to share... I have alot of 'em you know...hehe
Ok there was a guy who was claiming that his bike was capable of 206 rwhp. All the right parts were there, it was built by a reputable East Coast guy and he had a witness. (JC is rolling his eyes about now..hehe) Problem was everytime he
went to dyno his bike locally (West Coast) it never went over 165 rwhp. this bike was only stock cosmetically 'cause this dude had cha-ching in his motor. Big difference.
Well the reason was this, the dyno reading at the session where it made big numbers was due to three things that were most likely to be in the real world and not in a shop unless of course the shop was simulating the real world.
1) A humidifier and A/C unit was hooked up to the Intake of the bike.
2) A Premium Racing fuel was used.
3) the strapping of the bike to the dyno was done in such a way that it was very close to the actual physical convention that happens when the bike is on the open road.
This was learned later after the guy called the builder on his numbers saying that why can't the bike do this again. He just figured a dyno was a dyno. and when they picked it up, he saw it. this wasn't a trick by the mechanic, it was a real pull and it took some work to make it happen. The Point!!??!
Conditions are the Point for argument. You could be out in the desert, middle of the heat, and your bike will be running crappy and feel gutless, but the next time you are out in the dark and it is cool your bike will feel like it could break the land speed record.
Always remember that You don't have to Lie to kick it. So what if your bike is not the fastest. the most powerful. The shiniest. There are bragging rights and then there are "I would if I can!" and "I couldn't 'cause I won't".
If you work hard and put alot of $$$, OT and sweat into your ride, Real people will recognize that you did, and give you props. I hate these, (you know theM) lame ass guys who have money, NO heart, big mouths and are so inept that they have everyone else do their work for them and always put down the real guys who put in work, when they really do not have any grasp of what it feels like to build, tune and ride their own. It makes me sick. Especially when they take credit for others work. If you got it flaunt it. But just because someone else doesn't, don't put them down. Friends are friends. Just respect those who want to keep it real and show the world what they can do even if it isn't the best, greatest fastest, shiniest bike ever.
The real members of this site, who watch and are slow to speak, who help out the little guys so they can too be confident and successful in their endeavors, the ones who might not be so accepting at FIRST but until they get to know you are,....Helmets off to you, a cold one we will toast, you are appreciated.
The insulting, condescending, little knuckleheads who always have something bad to say or think that only the people and
places that are relevant to them are important or count,
PUT UP OR SHUT Up!!! You will not get respect unless you respect us.
If you have something to contribute to our knowledge, experience or well being, set forth...the other poop is really irrelevant to our lives. Hayabusas are our passion.
Thanks Guys
