haha?

Fock off Jr.

You obviously can't read or you'd see the type of machines I race. Only some specs are listed. And the equipment is accurate. I've got over 35 years in racing. You?

Well why dont you explain more about your 151 miles per hour sportster since I cant read mr. "Ive got over 35 years in racing"

When you make an internet claim like that, that blows everybody elses top speed out of the water, you should have some proof and enlighten everybody. Cause if not, It didnt happen.

Or are you just going to insult me some more and tell me how many years of racing you have, or tell me I obviously cant read.
So

3 days on the forum, can't read and/or understand a sig line, and thinks you need to make a trip to the salt flats to clock 150mph.

Maybe instead of insinuating that he was a liar with your post of:

You could have simply asked about the mods he's made to the bike.

I was just asking to prove it. Tell us more about the 151 mph pass. It is very fast and not typical. Sigs dont mean anything about how fast or quick your bike is.

Simply put, What mods are dont to the bike and how was the 151 mph clocked? Thanks Madnss

3 days or 3 years on the forum....whats your point. What I dont have the right to ask somebody how they achieved an impressive top speed.
If you look up, I apologized for my delivery coming off wrong

I will not list all my mods, because my R&D is of my own making and the people I run against know about this forum. You want to find how to make something taste better. Come up with your own recipe.

I will give you a couple hints. Those passes were made with a S&S Super D alcohol carburetor/custom intake installed. Along with an alcohol fuel mixture provided by my Ummmm, chemist. (No bottle on those runs, the fuel delivery freezes almost instantly with any size shot) There are a few more conversions I make when we run for the money. But I will not list them.
In street trim I can run 140+ and just to gain another 10+mph is quite a task.
You want me to run at Bonneville? Do you have any clue what Dan runs there? For me to make up an additional 10 to 12 mph is a bigger task than you know.

All the speed runs have been measured by a South Carolina State Police cruiser at a Private airport. My "chemist" is also a member of the SCSPD.

As far as your apology? pfffft

Fair enough, I just want to know the basics, what cubic inch is it?, factory cases? Not pump gas I see. Is it the 1250 in your sig?

I didnt say i wanted you to run a bonneville.....Dan who.....you mean Hammer dan norlin that prepped his record running bike. Or maybe you mean Aaron Wilson. phhhht

A bigger task than I know.....10 mph....i can only imagine......might be like trying to pick up another tenth or two on the drag stip. Or trying to get my bike another 5mph threw the traps at the drag strip. Might be a bigger task than you know on the drag strip.

Ya whack on the new guy, cause he is new and young and doesnt know anything. And he questioned you about a 151 mph run. So he is unworthy. ha
