Went to Jennings for a Sunday ride, and a few of the attack kawi guys were there. Holy Crap they are fast! Not one crash all day sunday,, Very cool. Smoked my first set of corsas, very good tire. Ran some 29s, my best time so far. I love my 54. I promised my wife I wouldn"t go back till March,, DAMMIT

I have a pic of the the Attack rig, but I can't post it

Post pics on any of the free sites like webshots... then post a link here.

I would love to see the attack machine

On the jennings site, a guy said on the 3rd lap on a bike he had never ridden, hayes turned a 1:23... Without dragging a knee through 1. I think they were consistently in the 1:18s after that though.

Yeah, 18s. He would pass between 7 and 8, yes I said between 7 and 8

I've passed...stuffed folks into 7. I guess 7-8 pass could be done safely consider the speed differences (of slow peps to those guys)....duno if I'd try it!

Jesus.......
I think the best time I ever posted there was a 23, and I probably almost crashed three times on that lap!

Those guys were probably only goofing around, too. That's scary.

Thats the difference I guess between a good rider and a pro rider (not trying to be a wise ass)

The name is familiar but its a popular one around here. I dont think I know them though

They own/run a tranny shop on the island.

They also are big time enthusiasts. Steve is a dad and just a track day guy but Rob is a full on racer (several CCS championshiops in last few years) and has been setting up/modding bikes out of his shop for the last year or two. I highly recommend him for any work you need done, if you're in the market. He's a suspension guy/motor guy, you-name-it guy......he helped patch together my race bike (don't ask

) and is very meticulous.

Is that the old new record...a guy on a 250/smoker? I know it was in the 15s.

Think my best time lap was in 21s.

Yep, Chuck Sorenson on a RS250...

Dude, 21s are smokin'! Good going!

02FBlade · 01-13-2005, 3:53 PM

Thanks CC, if I could only run consistent 20s I'd be happy....well for a minute. Maybe after my visit to GMD for a little better chassis setup?!

I remember when the record was a 21!!! Long ago!
