Predius - Got any pics of your Uly XT? I'd love to see them. If you don't want them publicized, you could Email them to me at dedsld1313 at gmailDAHTcom |

Basically done the bare minimum to make the bike safe, torn off the easy items to drop weight, lower bars, Firebolt peg brackets and cheap eBay pegs. I did spring for a used STM slipper clutch, and the belly pan is from CBS in Greece. IDS ECU with Drummer tune as mine was flakey, and fuel pump rebuilt. It's on factory, untouched suspension and working better than it has any right to, I do want to get a Penske made for the rear, have the front gone through and resprung. It could use custom brake lines as the XTs are too long for this setup, I'm still up in the air about at ZTL2 swap... If I do attempt MotoA again, the front headlight pod / gauge bracket will be gone, so I'll need to fab a new bracket and decide how to deal with the cluster of wiring in there. |

I am somewhat surprised they let you on the track with the speed differential. Is this not considered extremely dangerous? |

Last year there was an American Air Cooled Twins subclass, that's what I set the XB up for. Big Twins, Sportsters, all reworked for road racing, the XB was kinda the cheat code for the subclass that no one else had jumped on yet. Massive range of speeds and paces, but the top fast guys are great at going around as long as you run a clean predictable line. The rules based qualifying on the time of the 5th fastest bike, but they gridded all entries anyways. This year, no more subclass, and almost no air cooled machines showed up. Qualifying was switched to match other classes, based on the fastest rider's time, 115% cutoff, and it was enforced, so I didn't make the mains. Still, the fast guys were awesome on track, I got blitzed on the banking but it was all clean and politely done. |

This sucks. With his talent, he deserves a ride on a Superbike! https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/motoamerica-s choltz-racing-in-supersport-championship/ |

Good guy too. At least he's still in the paddock. I wonder how competitive his ride is in Supersport? |

Helluva debut weekend for Superbike! Both races were nail-biters. Definitely think Gagne's going to have his work cut out for him to retain the #1 plate this year! |
