Here are a few pic's of the finished product. It looks like the May event at Maxton is going to be the record event.

She's got a little over 350 ponies under the hood and was put on a carbon fiber diet (that's because the rider is so damn fat).

Professor Hill, she's looking for that big green mean machine of yours. Wanna come out and play?

"Please do not let this get out!" I like it! You did what you needed to do with the tank (Get it out of the way for your Belly to have room, just like I did) The difference is, yours looks "GOOD"! (Did I just say that a Busa looked good? NAW, it is your top cover and step seat! A long time ago, I realized that once you took weight off of the bike, that it would not come back as opposed to the rider! You may even force me to "Pretty Up" my bike NAW, (well maybe a little

) Very Nice work.

Now like Johnny Carson said to Dolly Parton, "I would like to take a look under there" (The cover)

Under the hood? 350 ponies in the stable waiting to go for a run.

Here you go mate! You can get the tank with as many bungs as they can fit under there. It holds about 2 gallons (US) with the 01 fuel pump inside her. Cost? it's on the website. For you down under, there is a shipping concern I'm sure.

Yes, I want 230mph very much, but it remains to be seen if it is possible on the juice in just 1 mile. We'll see. I did this product review of this item http://www.dragbike.com/dbnews/templates/tech_template.asp?articleid=17&zoneid=11 and thats how I found the tank. I'm slowly converting to full carbon fiber and it's very expensive here but I'm so fat I need help.

I know that this is a Busa Web site and I am a visitor, but here is the tank I made (Got a recalled tank for free from someone that bought a Canadian bike) and it holds a little over 2.5 gallons and very low on the bike. Actually I sit on top of it!

As you can see, my seat did not fit either and had to make it fit also.

Just in case I did want a CF Tank, this one is made in Hawaii!

Of course I am gald that he makes tanks better than he can keep his thumb out of the picture!

Here is a little peak under my cover! Opened and closed.

You mentioned "Ready for Bear"? Well here is the long and short of it, Bear Velocity stacks that I use to hold the NOS Spray Nozzles.

The Gold ones in the above picture are the short ones. I am still working this out also!

This is what went to Maxton 10/04 for my first experience with NOS. Now I am getting serious with some special Pistons and a few other things so I can have over 300 HP and really go fast!

I really like your signature!! it is very close to exactly what I say
"I am a Racist because I hate every racial attitudes! I just like the people I like inspite of their race, not because of it!"

I guess I am in trouble now

2fast4u2c · « **Reply #9 on:** April 09, 2004, 04:44:14 PM »

Professor Hill, you have been holding out on us. She looks sweet. Can't wait to see her all dressed up and ready to rock. May is going to be a great event.

Oh and don't forget to feed those ponies before she goes out for a gallop.

great minds...

I work in a very impoverished hospital. The only reason I stay is simple: I can't do what I do anywhere else in the country. Not right now anyway. So, I have to continue to deal with a culture who expects something and everything without concern of what they can do for themselves or anyone else in the community. It is a truly painful place to live, work, raise a family etc.

"One Day" in our lives, we are appreciated and that makes it all worth while! We all get paid, It is the appreciation that make the difference (Or the difference between a Job we like and "Work"!

The bike is sold. Look in the for sale section.

VincentHill · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2004, 09:15:41 AM »

Maybe the "Tax Cut" was not large enough.

:D Man 0 Man, that bike was his heart. I do feel better now about the slow pace I am forced to go because of limited money. One thing about that bike, it was the Best looking Busa I have ever seen.

2fast4u2c · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2004, 11:29:27 AM »

It'll still be at Maxton in May.

GUY!! Say it aint so!![/b] I know it is hard in Toledo and I know it cost a Ton to do what you did to bring that bike to reality. We know that breaking a Motor not only breaks your wallet, it breaks your heart and it takes a "While" to recover. "What the Hell happened"??

(This is like training to fight Alli and then find out a month before the fight that Alli's right hand got hurt!)

"THANKS"!! Just so you know, I am from "Toledo Ohio, Born and raised there. I do not know about the State taxes, But I do know that it costs "TWICE AS MUCH" for Property taxes in Toledo than it does in Washington DC. A house in Toledo worth $220,000 (Before deductions of Homestead and senior Citizen) are $7,700 a year. In DC, the same house would be $2,800. With the deductions in Toledo, $4,300. DC about $1,700.

The Utilities in Toledo are closer to "3" Times higher there. My cousin has paid $400 in 1 month for her Gas bill and she only has a Duplex! to Keep my Moms house at 50 degrees last winter cost over $225 per month. The worst part is people in DC make a lot more money on average

I know that Guy will be back, but to lose out NOT ON THE TRACK is the Hard part! Hang in there GUY!

Hawkwind, it is on!!

Had nothing to do with taxes. The "Tiger" is still in the family and I will be riding her in May.

Good Family! I am back in training. Just too much work, not to at least see it used to the full potential at least once!

Commuta_Busa · « **Reply #24 on:** April 21, 2004, 03:13:49 PM »

I just read an article on dragbike.com about the double bottle baby... I was hopeing you would make it to the first event and hit the 230 so I could be there!

Maybe by the time I make it down to Maxton again you'll be looking for 235-240! you never know. btw... what size jets and wht fuel pressure are you runnin'

soon you'll be hooking the second bottle to feed the first one and keep the pressure up!
