I did it! just! last 2 runs of the weekend,possibly the year,depending on the weather in 2 weeks time. After multiple 10.0's and even a 10.005 I finally nailed a 9!
9.975 @ 132.9 then backed it up with a 9.995 - hit the limiter in 3rd so could have been better.
I'm completely worn out! that was the hardest,most frustrating weekends racing I've ever done. great track, plenty of grip and some monster chest bashing wheelies. There's definitely more to come if I can get the power in earlier,the 9.99 had a 1.51 60ft when it lifted I just punched 2nd and she gently nosed down and kept on haulin ass. yee haa!

So not the fastest 1125 but defo the fattest - 200 and plenty lb's before I put my gear on- no titanium bolts,mag alloy wheels or lithium batteries and no midget jockey on board. - 95 octane pump gas too.

Thanks to Joe for encouragment and advice.And Dris for the remap, torquehammer and velocity stacks (and yup they do work,10.1's without them)

Oh and she's got 16000miles on the clock.

Your turn bott...

Struggled for grip all weekend,but managed another couple of 9.9's.
up to 16/47 gearing terminals still 132mph,but just snicking 6th before the finish.
60ft's not as good as previous,1.58 was the best for the weekend,so more grip and a fresh tyre would probably improve things some more.
All in a good finish for 3months work on the buell.Now the work really can begin.
