couple of shakedown runs

216.4
218.3

first run had a little sputtering probably coming from pump gas race gas mixture. Second run sputtering gone so the speeds should increase.

7-8 mph headwind right now.

A bike just went 240

Gentlemen,

I've only done one run. Easy launch, no speed shifting, AND my front bonnet was unlatched. The faster I went, the wider it opened.:eek

I'm glad that thing is hinged in the front!

With all that, I went over 210 mph! My Heffner TT runs like a scalded dog!!! :thumbsup

I'll run Again in about 30 min.

Chip

Are you guys trailered near each other? I'll be down tomorrow to watch. No more runs unless I add mods.

Thanks for the real time updates!! This is awesome. Man, you Texas guys make me feel slow!! The best run in Mojave was barely 200 and you guys are whacking 200 left and right. :banana

Congrats Chip!! I guess that TT was money well spent to get the T-shirt you wanted!! :thumbsup

Can't wait to see whose GT pulls the big number of the weekend. Good luck and keep up the fun.

All I want for Christmas is a TT....and a blackberry so I can do real time updates too. :lol :cheers
