I have a Buell motor that is tired from all of the runs it made this year
and it was spitting oil on the line and some how it managed to go .9 mph faster than the busa. :-o

Scott

How fast was the busa ? ......

I went 152.070 on the busa and 152.9xx on the buell, both running naked. The busa could of went much faster however a few things played major factors in the slow speed. First was the 15 mph head wind and second was my total lack of experience on the busa. I did a terrible job of riding it, I was full throttle from the time I left the line and had lots of wheel spin because of it I even had some fish tailing in 2nd gear.........I was not used to the shift points or the quiet (compared to the buell) motor and hit the rev limiter a few times. I definatley need to take a few more passes down the track to get to know the bike..........Noonan you sure make it look easy.

Scottie ... Experience is a good teacher ... Most of the 'Busa guys (sorry Deb/Leslie) and gals have a ton of experience and as a result they make it look easy. It only looks easy. Too much horsepower can be a bigger challenge then not enough.

John really does make it look easy. He did several 200 plus runs getting records on his 2 bikes. And he was a great coach-- helped me run a 206 on a 195 record into the same headwinds Scot was talking about. Slipping and sliding the whole way. That 750 Turbo bike just keeps on going. Got a nice El Mirage 200 Club Hat as well. The SDRC were great hosts. A big thank you to all.
Bonneville 2001,2002,2003,2004,and NO stinking 2005,DLRA 2006, next?
Well,sure can't complain about 2008--6 records over 200 and 5 hats from Bonneville,Bubs, and El Mirage for the team!
