:D Just entered the bike only event at Bonneville in Sept [:p]

Going to buy a gsxr750 over there , chuck a turbo on it and race .
So the turbo kit in the for sale section is no longer available .at least not till after September and it will be upgraded a little..
I want 300hp out of the 750 , which will be ~25psi boost with a gt28r on the poor little thing..
Rough 750 will be used for testing and not for sale either.

Going to be a bit of a fire sale soon to cover some costs.

If its not crazy in a good way i'm in trouble ....
Doc in about a week ..
Ken dunno yet,Mick may do the same , couple of landspeed regulars are going too one taking his turbo busa for the second year in a row.
Large i hope so , current record is 209mph ran by a guy i have a great deal of respect for in his building and tuning turbo bikes, it will not be an easy record even in good conditions.

Keep meaning to get one of them.. [:I] lost my last one unused after AFR 07 :(

The true 307 was a bit of a comedown after what my speedo was showing , had to laugh, the radar only showed 277 first time i have seen one read slow......;)

Thanks for the well wishes ,
Gunna be a busy couple of months to bring it all together so i can fit a turbo and race prep the bike in a couple of days

Mate, you have to have a shirt at Bonneville! Contact me!

By the way, here's some inspiration:

The late H.J. (Burt) Munro's methanol fuelled 600cc (now 1000cc) 1920 Indian Scout, officially timed at 308kph and reputed to have exceeded 322kph.
