    Of course when the total weight with me onboard is 750 lbs, it equates to a nice "rush".:woot:

    Actually, anything bigger than a large caterpillar would scare the shit outta me at the speed this thing runs.
    The 2 lines on the boost guage are the 2 settings of the dual stage boost controller. The normal riding limit is 10 psi(which is where the 200 RWHP came from) and the " I'm feeling suicidal" setting is at 15 psi.
    The smaller "boost" guage is actually fuel pressure. I couldn't find an Autometer Phantom FP guage that had the range that I wanted, so I substituted the boost guage.

    Well, 1st gear is almost unuseable....either spins the tire HARD or causes the bike to point at the moon. 2nd isn't much better but I can get to WOT and at least control the front wheel height. Once I push the air shift button for third, the fun really begins.:dribble: Only about a foot high wheelie and that can be riden through easily. The rush is hard to describe.....I guess that the easiest way to put it is that there is less than 4 lbs of weight for each & every HP. I will say that you learn to control your throttle hand very quickly. Seemingly large gaps in traffic disappear magically. So you need to exercise self control for self preservation.:rockon:

    I pull maneuvers on the freeway that make the hair on my arms stand up and give me a smile at the same time. If I had a bike, I'd be dead.
