I got 2 videos of you Bruce, I just hadn't got around to sorting through more videos yet. Did you build your bike at home? or was it built by someone? Motor specs? I can add that to my youtube vids. Very cool bike! First video of you: Second video of you:

Are you the guy with the turbo, nitrous streetbike setup? I think I spoke to you cause the awning on our trailer was messed up bad and you offered to help us fix it... I think I got you in one of my videos. Here's a link to my youtube page, about 10 vids from Dumont: http://www.youtube.com/user/Slowcheeter21?feature=mhum

Pilot jet is lean (too small) or has an airleak causing a lean condition...

Cory can you make that picture a little bigger, I can't see it very well

oakshee, I recognize those "Lew Blew" plastics, lol. You got those and a swingarm, frontend from me. Did you buy the 14mil cub hybrid from Jamie that is your profile as well?

I now understand why you and Skeeter hang out so much

If work allows it, I'll bring it with me, maybe Larry will let me borrow his little gas 350 as well, do some duning/ roll start racing, I know snop will like that

At Coos Bay (horsefall) I run my triple unsilenced, it's VERY loud and I've never been bothered on the big weekends, but I also am careful to watch for the law. I've never gotten a ticket on any of my banshee's anywhere along the coast. Respect there rules on entering and exiting the dunes and keep away from the forest rangers/ police and you'll never have a problem. Being that is sounds like the ride is in April, I'd bet you don't see a single officer. As long as my work schedule allows it I'll bring my duner over to ride. It's just too close to Memorial to run the big bikes

So you're probly lookin for a cub in the $2k range. A +6-8 swingarm is probly better suited.

What kind of money you looking to spend on a turnkey motor? Or what class are you going to run? I guess I should have asked this as well earlier on.

Sell the +12 you got for free and get a +4 swingarm. How much money "could" you spend on the motor at this time on improvements?

Is there anything done to the motor? or is it stock internally?

Keep in mind that Raptor Rally (winchester) is Mid-May and Memorial drag racing (Coos bay) is the end of May. I know this is a topic on duning, I just figured I'd mention these events as they've gotten pretty big. I attend both of them, I'd like to go on a "bhq" ride/event but May is pretty much packed with these two events. April is iffy on rain, I'd say your best bet is to add a bhq event to Memorial weekend. Lots of banshees there already, and bhq could get some good publicity if you wanted to, maybe be a sponsor of the drags at boxcar? Just some ideas....

You guys have any idea if he had a duneable override? that's an easy way to blow by a lot of people and still call a motor "factory ported" Gearing down, and running the ultralight tires would take down a standard trans ported bike, I believe. You talking about the roll starters Snop, lol. Labor day the people who own boxcar setup lights, it eliminated roll starting. Otherwise it's always gonna be around, people wanting to get the edge, and brag about it beating some fast bike with there stock pos. I prefer to just sit and wait until they decide to stop completely cause the ones who are willing to stop are the only ones I care to race anyhow.

The fact you (or Kirk) didn't realize this was a cheetah topend after owning it says a lot to me. How in the fuck did you not catch that??? The size of transfers on the cylinder visually as well as the fact it takes cr250 reed cages not cr500. Or the rear stud locations. Or the fact it didn't have a mattoon clutch setup??? You never once took the clutch cover off? It says NMotion right on it. Or notice the clutch cover didn't extend an abnormal amount to hold the 11plate? (usually these have the mattoon billet clutch covers as well) I'm surprised it had straight cuts in it when he pulled the cover off, LOL... I also think that PPS should have seen a few of these tell tale signs when looking at the bike.... but as soon as he got the bike back to the shop and caught them. Another thing is that you had been having ignition issues with this motor. The flywheel/stator problem... then found it was coil's. The stretched threads are a perfect indicator you fucked that up when pulling the flywheel (didn't you have to replace the flywheel as well?). The cross threaded shaft is another newb mistake. You just didn't know what you were doing and kept gunning it on after it was screwed up. Kirk sold you something not as advertised? YES. but you bought it and never even realized it. Now you're selling something you have no idea how to maintain and is WAY over your head and think it's Kirk's fault? NO This would be easy to deal with by trading back, then dealing with Kirk about getting something not as adverstised. A cheetah topend is not worth near what a DM topend would be as far as resale value goes, I don't care what anyone says. As I see it, you owe PPS a billet shaft, an 11plate clutch setup, a DM triple topend, and pay to fix the crank end. He can give you back the broken shaft, nine plate and cheetah topend.... OR just trade him back!

How many drag bikes usually show up? and what cc range should I expect to see out there?

Really hope I can make it, gonna be a last second type thing if I do, I'm in Oregon, never ran out of state before. My little motors won't run too well down there then probly...

How long of a run is the hill at Dumont? I may come down for my first time...
