Best Bonneville quote ever!
« on: November 11, 2013, 05:47:13 PM »
I was talking to Jack Costella in impound and a friend of his walked over trying to figure out how to pick up 5 mph on his bike and since Jack was busy he and I started talking about gearing. I told him to throw the smallest rear sprocket he had and go from there. Jack finished what what he was doing, turned around and said it perfectly... "Throw as much gear at it as you can ' til it slows down, then just add more horsepower! " The best quote ever!

   At Speed Week Jack said to me: " I'm going to shoot the next person that comes up to me and says: "All ya gotta do is--------"." I thought, It's easy to tell somebody else what to do, but sometimes it's a little harder to do it than it looks. Jack has a way with words.
