    LOL...i thought my bogs where considered bad!!! urs is HORRID!!!

    I didnt even hear u rev the motor.

    But I am 100% with you, that I personally need 6k plus RPM revs before I slip my clutch.

    This is considered bad for me....little slow with my left foot on 3rd to 4th.

    Only on the Mach1. The swayyyyeehhhhhhhh!!! on the Termee is too much for me. Almost crossed the center lane...big no no! So I said, Eff It. Run my M/T DR's and funny thing was the stock clutch couldnt handle it.

    I liked the fact that I could drive the M/T DR's on the street, lower the pressure a bit and make a few passes. Last as long as the bias ply too!!!!

    Well, if not driving on the street.

    Sad deal is that it needs Good Prep or a few big fat tired cars to run before me so that I could follow their foot print at the launch. I couldnt care less what they did after the 60' marker.
