Drag times has posted a guy for his first time at the drag strip with an 08 250 ninja with only mod was a slip on. He ran 16.1 at 81mph. I think thats fantastic!!!! Depending on what his reaction times are. With practice you can normally cut a few seconds off that. Given the fact the bikes dyno around 27 hp with 14 lbs of torque. Thats fantastic!!! Its all about FUN!!

Huh, my gut feel wasn't too horrible then.
At least on the trap speed. Yeah, I hope I can make it on Saturday. I don't know yet. My band has a gig that night and I have a race on Sunday. I'll keep you guys posted.

Only "mechanical mod" ive done is add in a K&N air filter. Off the line is where you win/lose! Trick is too have high enuff RPMs letting the clutch out, without spinning the rear tire and or popping a slight wheelie! Laugh if you will, but i cant wait!!! |

Which one of the two dtrips is closer to white lake?
31st sounds better looking at my schedule. I'd love to see what my little rocket can do in the 1/4er

Headed out 1 week late for my summer trip. Not going south though, changing the route to something less ambitious. My dad got his trike back from the shop, so we're getting things ready to go. Headed west and taking the ferry across lake michigan like I talked about, and then puttz around the chicago area for a day or 2, then ride up to the U.P. and back down Mackinac, Should be fun.

Read post #529
July 24th (SAT) this weekend... http://main.theublydragway.com/index...d=47&Itemid=54 No such TNT listed. The other week when i posted that bob and i "were talking and trying to plan out a ubly drag day", i looked over the website and saw that the 24th ISNT a TNT $20 day! This was after the fact, when i posted about my ideal day to race at ubly was july 24th. Bob pointed out next TNT is on july 31th, which i Cannot attend, due to a friends wedding! So i was wrong about the 24th being a TNT day, sorry! When i post links, read them, maybe i shouldnt bother posting at all. *** The Next Test and Tune $20 Sat *** that is ideal for me to make it out to Ubly is Aug. 14th SAT @ Ubly dragstrip! Aug. 15th SUN, I was thinking of doing that Caseville Cheeseburger Fest Bike Trip! Aug. 21st SAT, We are going to Frankenmuth's Annual Bike Fest! |

Irish Hills tomorrow? Who's in?
It's about time to do this ride. Been talking about it long enuf. Let's Go!!! Weather looks perfect for tomorrow. This would be an all day ride. Putting some miles on the bikes! Dave will set the meeting time and place. Right, Dave? lol I have a route planned to the Artesian Well in Cement City. It's a sports bar, biker hangout, located next to a HD dealership Note: The food is decent. Also, it is the last Sunday of the month, which means it's Boogie Woogie BBQ time! This is in Pinckney from 4 - 7 PM. My buddy Beemo started this to get some bikers together and give his friend Chef Chris some extra business. I am planning on going, probably around 5-ish. Went there last month... Great BBQ ribs n chicken, and friendly service! Prices are reasonable too It's a loosely organized event. People come in, eat and go.

Hey, Dave.
Good to go @ Nat'l Coney 12 Mile in RO tomorrow morning around 9AM. This is what I have worked out so far... (Note: I try to avoid as much hwy riding as possible. If you have another preferred route, I am more than 100% happy to follow!!!!) And remember that I will have a gps, but with no mount on the Ninja, I may have to stop on occasion to check out proximity My route is as such: 696 - 275 S, 275 S - 14 W, 14 W to Beck Rd S, Beck Rd to Michigan ave/US12 west. This will take us thru Ypsi on the BR and on to the Artesian Well @ US 127 and US 12. Some stops are nice along the way as there are some small lakes and scenic points to enjoy. My route from there to the Boogie Woogie BBQ is US12 E to 52 N, to N. Territorial E, to Mast Rd N, to Strawberry Lk Rd E, to Merrill Rd. N, to M36 W. Chef Chris' Boogie Woogie is at 5589 E. M-36 in Pinckney. C-ya tomorrow! Carol
