Gas mileage may have been great....his knowledge of how many miles he gets out of a tank might not have been.

He was pushing it from a Trailer Park and I think he put in a gallon. He wasn't at the pump for long.

Canyon dancer on the front, one strap on each side of the swingarm in the rear. No problems.

Cutty is right... 90% of your strapping hold comes from the front of the bike. The rear is just to keep it from bouncing around. I have hauled many bikes and all of my bike numerous times...




Nothing like $100K in one trailer!!

That's really the only good passing points at NSS. Not worth it to force a pass in the corners there for just a track day.

I got some of you buells coming out of 10 on the long sweeper to the front straight though.

I don't think I made a single pass in a corner all night come to think of it. I either outbraked or had more top end.
