    Entering Drag Race - Hungary

    Here's the scoop... I raced my old '88 FJ1200 at a 1/4 mile track here in Hungary back in 2010 and 2011. Yes, I had nearly the slowest bike there. But that was maybe the most fun I've had since living in Hungary. They have different rules here. I am not a licensed racer, so I sign two release...

    Race Tech of Progressive

    Ok folks, I'm stuck with a decision... or lack thereof. I don't know what route to go with the front suspension. I love hitting the twisties but there's not a whole lot of twisties around here in NW Ohio. I tend to have an aggressive riding style as I ride with sportbikes most of the time and...

    Race Tech Spring Swap

    I have the 1.0 Race Tech front springs and they are just too stiff for my weight. According to the Race Tech website, I should have the .90 rated springs. Part of the problem is I have lost 37 pounds (187 to 150) but I think the 1.0 was probably too heavy even for my previous weight. So...

    Last weekend I raced the '66 Mustang at the Fort Wayne SCCA race. Had some fun with the GoPro too. I'm the guy in the red shirt, my dad is the other driver in the white shirt. If you've never had a chance to do this I highly suggest you show up at a race in your area and get a "ride along"...

    Race Tech Spacer length

    OK, got my new Race Tech springs for my 85 Vmax and they are significantly shorter than my factory springs. I had to make 10" long spacers to make up the difference. Is this normal? I got the S3234-100.
