It is a superior built and maintained bike and reeks of quality and loving care. I spoke with him and just want him and you guys to know that I feel as if I have been placed in a unique position to obtain this bike and I will treat it with respect and take excellent care of it. It is virtually a work of turbo art that is a practical street bike as well.

Having said that, is there anyone on the board that might be able to assist me in getting the bike from Jailer's garage to mine? He is in Sumner,Michigan and I am in Winston Salem, NC.....about 600 miles. I will be more than happy to pay for all expenses and throw in a couple or three hundred extra if anyone is available. I would prefer an enclosed trailer, if possible. I know this is a lot to ask, and I appreciate any assistance.

You are all aces up with me, even Cookie.

Thanks, guys.

Dave

That sucker is sweet and even has the front end rake done by McIntosh like my old Turbusa. It has better, up to date electronics and controls than my old bike and has a Mcintosh arm on it like my old bike. 15 lbs all day long on pump..............fantastic!!!

I just hope my stocker does not get jealous.

No,, that is a old school service telephone used by many utility workers in the day.

That's the one.

I've been having a hell of a time getting connected to the sit tonight. Happens frequently, not sure why.

Pics for those that were wanting to see it. Looks just like this now only it has a tank bra and stock windscreen on it as I prefer the stock over a DB. The DB does come with it though.

And the 469.72 HP run just because. Notice the back tire slip at 9200 RPM or it would have made more. The chubby guy on it is me.

Cookie · « **Reply #13 on:** October 16, 2011, 07:06:23 PM »

That thing is a monster. Did you just stick to the streets or pull any 1/4 times ?

Congrats Dave on the new toy!!!

Congrats Jailer on the sale!

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning!!! That bike should have no trouble with any Green Motorcycles.

I like the stock windscreen over the double bubble.
I am lovin' this...............the anticipation is almost as good as the actual acquisition.

Went to the track a few times but I'm not much of a drag racer. Best time my fat ass could muster was a 9.52@165

Keep in mind though, that time was run with the bike EXACTLY as you see it in the pics. It's a street bike, not a race bike. I didn't do any prep at all when I took it to the track. Rode it there, ran, rode it home.

Congrats, about time somebody bought that bike....friggin steal for all it has and proven build

ENJOY!

Congrats Dave.

Any luck on transport? If it's close to stock wheelbase/ if it will fit in a pick up. That wouild save a lot on gas for a long drive. What you think?

Penianator · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2011, 08:38:03 PM »

I might be able to help with transport

congrats dave that's a beautiful bike...

Ghost-Geezer · « **Reply #21 on:** October 16, 2011, 09:41:57 PM »

One thing I like about it most is that it is a "sleeper" with the air cleaner under the plastic and a nice muffler instead of just dump tubes. Surprise, Surprise!!!

I have a V-6 Ford Ranger with a king cab.......bed is around 6' with the tailgate up. Not long enuf. Unless I run with the tailgate down. I do have a one bike open trailer that folds up and is in the corner of the garage. Long drive though.

how much does it make on pump gas?

They way it should be.
