To misquote Pork Pie, it's not how you go into the air but how you come out of it.  I found Jeff's run fantastic, but not unexpected.  Keep it up at WoS, this bike is so cool.  (Former Buell S2 owner, myself).
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

S&S Facebook page, BUB Speed Trials 2012 Facebook page, and notoriouly bad snapshot taker, me, will upload some from my antique digital camera when I get back to a computer with the antique software to upload them back at the maison d' sante.

This is the anything Landspeed site, :?,,,,we talk `bout achievments here, but, go elseware to have a look at what it is we enjoy an are talkin about,  :roll:,,

not everyone can access Facebook, me included,, :-(

Moxnix, dont worry about the fact that you have to upload from a "antique digital camera", we all have one of those,, the majority couldnt care less about "the perfect shot", just would like to have that connection that a photo can provide,,  :cheers:

Nice goin Jeff.  It was quite a thrill for the Riley, Fischer & Witt Gray Ghost ll project to be pit with you guys, and thanks for the help when we needed it.  S&S kicked booty this week, & was big time fun for us too - 170.55 naked Sportster.  Looking forward to Wilmington now.
Thanks again for the help - The S&S Viola team ROCKS !

Gray Ghost, everyone with 4 underhead camshafts and bumpsticks needs a Warner Riley around, your numbers really caught my attention. 

Stay'tee, I left the other (newer) camera on the workbench in my garage.  I tossed the SUV looking for it and gave myself a double facepalm as penance.  Shame, really, I like posting from tracks.

That would be me as pilot Larry, with Warner as our crew chief. Plus the muscle supplied by an S&S 100 cu. in. Super Stock engine that can be had by checking the S&S catalogs. M-PG  1650   There is no doubt in my mind about the quality and endurance of these S&S Proven Performance Products.  Even though there was some high drama on our last return run - ala a dead battery at the 5 mi. return start. It was like the Cavalry coming to the rescue when Jeff B. and his crew came by to help get us started again. The entire S&S crew from Viola are class acts, my hat is off to them all.   :cheers:
Congrats to you and the crew Jeff, on your achievments this last week.    :cheers:

I finally saw that Jim but I couldn't edit my post. Don't think I'll be buying a complete motor from S+S anytime. They called to ask me how I was making so much power. Congrats on your runs. What did you end up with for a record?

Now you have my curiousity running Larry -  So what did you tell them ?  And if I may ask - how much h p did you generate ?
Final runs 2 way average -  169.627
Babs & I are still on the way home, takes a couple days for us.

I told them they need to come out here so we can talk. On the dyno we made a 4th gear pull to 5k and made 132hp IIRC. Then later a 5th gear pull to 6k and made 136 IIRC. After burning a valve on the first run at Speedweek we ended up with a 169.975 record for 1350 A-PG. Gonna make a couple more runs this year at Elmo and then go thru it for next year.
