its like trying to hold onto a scud misssle…. all my energy is focused on holding onto it... by 7 thousand rpms.(3rd gear).. u had better have ure thoughts and line planned out... a lot of ground is covered very quickly... it allll happens very very quickly... then ya gotta plan on shutting it down.... its harder to slow it down than it is to speed it up... its stretched way out/has a great tire/great shock.... I put my chin right near the steering stabilizer and hang it wide open... auto shift on... .it lays the power down perfectly.... frank knows his chit... biggest worry is a deer or stray animal.... I know I wouldn't be able to change lines or slow it down...…….. what I do now is pick a point waaaaaaay up the road... tuck as well as I can and let it go... it helps if its ridden in anger...

Hi ali123. I had a deer jump out in front of the other day, It was at 830AM. I was on my 1999 HD. Good thing I was going slow about 40 MPH. The stock HD brakes are very bad, If I drag my feet it helps a lot just kidding about the feet. HDs need all the help they can get!

Hi ali123. NO not yet still waiting for parts from MaIntosh. I have a sponsor who will do all the paint for free. He will do it as soon as he slows down a bit. I am also working about 100 HR a week now. The new girl friend works 80 HR a week she has 5 kids 4 boys and 1 girl from 15 to 23 yrs. it is a hand full. Her 20 year old wants to go to the races with me. I am still getting to know the other ones. It is a little hard they know I am 10 years older then her mother. I have 3 houses to paint and I am working on 2 cars a 64 chevy II and a 59 Bug eyed Sprite.
