I've been trying to order some mirrors from them for WEEKS and their damned website just won't work properly. When I select my payment method it just sits there forever. Pissing me off.

I'm trying to avoid looking at the swingarm. That poor bike.

Charley,
I know what Bud meant, but 10.82 doesnīt really look like a record time for the quarter mile in street class. They normally go low 10s.

Alex,
sorry for the late replay, just got back from the weekend race's

you are correct the 10.28 is the recordtime for yurop, and i believe it from fiesch ?
( and that bike is for sale, and he told us when we brake his time he is coming back to the streetwin class : ) )
but the drachten record is 10.82 for the streettwin and as we still have consider if we will go international or not..

that's up to easy to decide ( it's his bike )
i'm just driving for fun and stil have very much to learn ( first time ever on the strip ) and the sort wheelbase from my xb ( stock ) make's it very hard to get a fast 60 feet time
( best 12.51 @1/4 mile )
and i like to drive it on the safe side as it is my road bike for commuting

regards, Bud

We now have the dutch record at 10.56 with 60 foot of 1.4 seconds.... The bike is able to go much faster but before you drive a record you need a backuptime with a difference of 1% up ore down. we still go on for next year and try to get the european record it should be possible, then we come over to the usa and drive a full year somewhere
