Hey guys,
Got lots of great bike ideas at the BTB, the main one was I wanted a bike that could some what hang with the big EFI boys, well here she is

She's loud, she snarls and growls and really scares the old ladies on my street now. Between the pipes and airbox removal and dyno tuning she picked up quite a bit, even more fun to ride now.

Mike, I bet it sounds as sweet as it looks. I can't wait to ride with you this weekend.


P.s. Let me know if you need a room to crash in.

Speed, she sure does. I rode her over to my old man's house from the shop and she sat out front for about a half-hour. We went outside to start her up and let my dad listen to her and I did my old trick, (twist the throttle with thumb on the starter, let and back and hit it), sounded like someone shot a cannon off. Jumped the shit out of us.

Brett, I may need to crash at your place on Saturday night, I'll gladly compensate you. See you this weekend.

Looks like you woke the monster up. Looks good Mike I love that color Scrambler. Do the thunderbikes live up to the hype?

Jimmy,
They sure as hell do, they're everything I was hoping for. Nice and loud, without being too obnoxious, nice little HP gain as well. Think they look better than stock too, make the bike look lighter.

Mike, No compensation required a beer will cover it fine. We usaully get a pull-out in the rooms we reserve. we don't ask for them but its like every room has one.
