Air or electric shifter.

That is a pretty mean looking machine, Rick!

I'm very excited about motorcycles these days.

Hoping like hell I can afford to pay mine off enough this summer so I can ride it some.

No air or electric shifter for this one. Gains would be minimal as I can shift clutchless with barely a blip of the throttle. If this were a dedicated strip machine I would probably consider it, but it will eventually be taken to Bonneville or Wilmington Ohio for land speed runs...little use for that there. The entire reason for the dragstrip time is to finalize tuning...I despise dynos.

I'll be getting a nice HD helmet cam before next winter.

Looking for one that will run on 12v and has a big HD though......I want to be able to run it on highest resolution all day and night.

I have one, but it is not of great quality. I'll get me one of the GoPro's before too long...they do wonderful video and audio.

I did not make it to Bonneville this year, but here is a pic of Jason from this weekend with his turbo'd Sportster w/ sidecar. He is in the impound there and will likely leave with a record run.

Been awhile since I last visited...hope all you guys are doing well. Update on the bike scene...sold both Sportsters and have a ex-police bike inbound from New York.

I did retain the turbo tho...

Still undefeated on X3 benchmark I see...
