Got about 12 runs on it at Speed Week, teething issues and just little BS, learning the bike first half dozen runs. Top speed was 129mph, was having issues with what I thought was clutch slip, but ended up being wheel slip, so I am either going to change my seating position, or add ballast to the rear. I just got some nice scales so I can weigh it and make sure weight distribution is pretty equal, I think when I hit the throttle it hunkers down in the front and unweights the rear just enough to give me some slip at high speed when shifting and revving up

Set a record in 1350 cc A-VF but it was beat at World Of Speed a few weeks later by a dual engine Indian, he creamed my record at something like 148. I have a lot of things in the works for my bike right now and aim to come back and try for it again. Also am working on my single engine 1955 Triumph iron head bike that I set 2 records on in 2011, bringing that back to the Salt for 2013
