I desperately want to be beamed somewhere south with my vfr. Just for a day of fast riding. Im feeling a little bonkers with all this snow. Anybody else?

i didnt think it snowed in zimbabwe. i cut a deal with the snow gods. its only going to snow until feb 1. then its going to get warm and toasty and all of the salt and sand is going to disappear. but, just in case, dont blame me if it doesnt happen.

its still snowing here in baltimore too. i rode a good part of last winter. tim courts even commented on the nice riding weather when he was here in february after daytona.

ok, later

a friend of mine has one of thier wave runners. 1200cc 2 stroke triple. something like 130 hp too. when he sits it on the dock and runs it out of the water and revs it, it just shreaks. the noise it makes through out the marina is insane. it does almost 65 outta the box. i could only get it to 62. i couldnt get it trimmed just right for the conditions. even with 2 up it'll go that fast. i rode it for an hour and a half one day and i could catch pretty much anything in the bay!! and there is a ton of shit you can do to those things from pipe and carb kits to impellors, ride plates, flame arrestors and big bore kits. i cant imagine going too much faster. that and the thing when at plane can run across water only a foot deep. pretty cool.

just think of all of the new friends you'll have if you get a ski though.

if anyone went to gstock this year there was a guy there named yvonne duhamel. hes a canadian guy who rode for kawasaki way back when i think. he was wearing green kawa leathers at gunstock and had plate number 9. i think hes the world record snowmobile speed holder too.

he only raced it to turn one of one race. i have the pictures to prove it. doh!! we know you guys know who he is. actually dick mann is who mike o was talking to about mods to his bsa when he was building it. i was trying to find yvonnes record for the sled but couldnt online. i wonder if anyone knows what it really was.

yeah, miguel is yvonnes son. and it was #17 on his plate at gstock. i dont know why i thought it was 9. and believe me, if anyone knows nixons history around here, itd be me right aaron?? actually miguel won a race that day we were at gunstock. i remember hearing something about them mentioning it at the dinner. yvonne is a nice guy. he and mike have had some good races up in canada. \

suzuki had a concept vehicle that was 1300cc 4 stroke powered. was it the busa motor, i cant remember. i dont follow that stuff too closely.

the kids in the ghetto in baltimore ride 4 wheelers on the street all of the time. you can hear gangs of them running around. it used to be alot worse than it is now. and i mean youd be driving down a major thoroughfare and thered be some kids in colors ripping down the other side of the road. they put slicks on em. you could hear them comming for blocks.

one of those powroll big bore kits just went on ebay for 120 bucks. 12 over. i think.

i'll check to see if i have the guys link still. he had tons of them. if you ever want to go the seriously high compression performance pistons, there are alot of guys who make them and or have them available.

what do you want to know about toad town??? i dont know them or much about them, but if youre looking for some hotrod cb350 parts, i can probably get you better info than what you'll find on the web or maybe cheaper parts. im running a crank fired dyna iggy, with chris marshall 2/2 tuned megs. i think most everyone whos heard my pipes say they sound sweet and theyve smoothed the power from the old 2-1 i had. im running uscra p1 350 gp rules and wera 350 gp rules. so my motor is stock internally. pistons valves cam and carbies. i do have a 450 front drum with 750ss tubes and trees. stay away from m3. ive heard bad things about mark. (never actually delt with him though) i also know that ricepaddy sells some nice stainless cb "race pipes". the problem is that they are stainless. great for the street, but not great for the track since the weldability is questionable in the field sometimes. plus i dont know the dims of them, so they may not be tuned correctly. they are good people over there though. ive bought a few things from them. let me know what youre looking for and maybe i can point you in the right direction. there are alot of people running cb350/2 so there are alot of great resources out there. also look at the eurospares.com site. there is a 350 racebike faq page.

good luck with it and get some pics of it too!
