Cool Big Red is gone...

Just loaded her up into the back of a trailer with two other Turbo Bikes.

She is headed down to Sarasota for some "Exotic Cycle" lovin via Johnny "Turbo" Dorbin as I type this.

It is very likely that the next time I see her she will be sportin her new mods:
* Nitrous
* Air Shifter
* Lock-Up

With any luck, she should be running in the mid to low 8's at a speed in the 170's when I pick her up.

Now I just got to get healthy enough to ride

Damn. 8 second street bike. Cecil gear won't even help you now. You need some knights armor. Will it even be possible for that thing to maintain a speed of 35mph for more than a split second?


Gotta love it though.

I went with a MTC Multi-Stage.
It has the ability to be adjusted via wieghts and springs.... it's pretty cool.
