This looks like a good forum and a good bunch of folks.
I'll introduce myself by saying I'm a grey haired guy that has been involved in various types of racing. I have had a couple drag cars, raced sprint Karts, and raced off road bikes for years.
I have allways enjoyed designing, building and debugging things whether they are vehicles or equipment. I have an engineering degree from Ohio University (1980). I recognize and respect experience. It along with proper application is most of the battle, so you do not have to worry about me getting off on some theoretical tangent.
LSR, especially Bonneville has allways been a dream of mine and I appreciate how anyone with the fortitude (and not necessarily the right sponsor) can have fun and possibly be competitive. Much of my interest is in 2 stroke bikes.
I may be sharing my opinions (no guarantees) about drag, power, friction etc on this forum.
