T-bird,
I for one enjoy your posts and a little of the history even if it's cut and pasted.
Your post seem to attract many different forms of critisism from the peanut gallery and various internet Trolls.
Often you must consider the source of the critiqing.
Your biggest critic looks to be 1212.
I did a little looking on the scta web site and.....
1212 appears to hold one record at bonneville which is 279mph in f/bgs. Very impressive...until you look below and see a smaller engined liner record that is 352mph
1212's might be remembered in history as the rider of the
"Worlds Fastest Vibrator"
the 125mph electric cycle!
I'm new here and i enjoy reading about some of the history but it seems as though many are allergic to change or new ideas. speeds will plateau and the thinkers will be ridiculed so much for innovation and thinking outside of the box!
Flame on !!!
