Default Braggin Rights
All due respect to my brother and his fast FXR 80" Evo, his bike is built exactly like mine but he has a Vthunder 3010 and I have the Ev27 with shaved heads. Monday, We lined up for a 1/4 mi drag. I set my rpm at 1100, released the clutch and twisted about 2/3 gas. Without trying to, my bike did a burnout and started going sideways so I had to back off the gas and he jumped ahead about 40 ft before I could nail it again. By 3rd gear he was in my rear mirror and never caught me. Wish I had a video of that.

No video; never happened unless he creates account and confirms the bad beat.

He would not admit the spanking I gave him, ever. He will make excusses like he never used 5th gear.

Ok but the bullet will need to give me a 5 sec head start since it's pulling twice the horsey's.

I don't know ace, he might have taken you if he had a little off the heads too, and a 3020!

J/K, good kill, man!

Alot goes for how the heads are built and a good torque curve [ev27]. It runs so good I would not change a thing, for now..
