    some other minor rules but those are probably the "deal" breakers
    That's BS. They should let you wear textile jackets under 120 mph.

    yes you can!
    the sign up thing was simply put on by grand prix @ Bostons over the last few bike nights to promote the event.

    I have a leather XL jacket if you need to borrow it , but it says Suzuki Racing on it so I think that adds like 30 HP an put you way above the 120 mark!!

    yep!!! I have the patients of a crackhead without crack. i tried though, I can get on the bike just cant hold it up very well and it hurts like hell to sit there with my foot on the peg for more than a minute. I need forward controls!

    oh well had to try. without goals what do we have to look forward to.

    I am walking with only one crutch now with minimal to no pain.

    So I'll walk around and take pictures instead, I'm cool with that

    The send-off this morning was cool. Wish I'd thought to get the camera out when you were sitting on the beemer with your dog. What's the dog's name, by the way?

    The racing was fun. I ran a personal best of 11.18 @ 142 mph. I was told to put a kill switch on my bike. Damn the badluck but good times for sure.

    The racing was fun! I was able to crack 120mph with the R6. But, they told me that I needed to get a set of leathers that zipped together.
    Got caught in them storm on the way home. Worst riding of my life!!!

    That's not too shabby. 1.9s were the best I managed on my F4i when I was cracking 11.8s.

    11.1 still seems a bit sluggish for a litrebike.

    It might be a little slow. It was only my second time racing at Bandi on a bike. It's still stock. Next time I might be a little faster!!!!
