...and here we have Subfiend (ass)essing the clients site ... or is that the wife ??

Well, we weren't married when the photo was taken, but we are now. I had to marry her to keep her! I also bought her a mid-size TT Yacht-Master, which she could care less about. She wears it for diving and motorcycling.

You mean like this?

Can't see the watch, but it was an Omega Semaster Pro Ti in both of them.




Here is a Rolex shot so I do not hijack the thread.

Good choice in keeping her ..

Come on Chip... you were only going 12mph in that one.

@ Johnny "only going 12 mph".

While that worked in my favour that time, I am sure that they have upgraded their laser guns since.

Tha pic is old... almost 6 years. I calmed down a lot those days. Now the second one... track day in California... I still do that. I drag bike parts every chance I get. You should see my Hayabusa's foot pegs... (plus I got to keep up with Amy)

I bet... The way Amy rides you'll be replacing foot pegs every 1,000 miles.

Yeah.... she is NUTS.

Well, here is me shooting with my YM on......obviously not a firearm.

Frame capture from a high speed video:



And here is a section of the video (done at the US Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA). Shot at 1,000 frames per second and played back at 30 frames per second....

Chip,whats your best time over the 1/4 mile with the Bussa .. ??

Okay, I'll play...

There's a black ExpII on my wrist in this shot, where I'm standing some 9000' above sea level on the continental divide.

Mine is pretty fast and quick... it is the pre-detuned version, and the only one in TX in that colour scheme.



I got 182 rear wheel horsepower, and MY best time was 9.7 or something like that. However, my friend Greg who is the launcher from hell, recorded a 9.43.

At sea level ? Whats the exhaust brand ? Full or slip on ? Powercommander or any other EFI ? Just as a matter of interest...

Yes,ALL in the launch and the first 60 feet ... 182 horses on the rear wheels also does not mean much if the bike is not setup perfect,for drags.

1. Few hundred feet above see level.
2. Exhaust is M4.
3. Full system. Ti and Carbon. I don't do slip on.
4. No Powercommander. I have a different air filter, air box mods, some cam work, and I had a Yoshimura computer replace the stock unit, and the map was custom. I paid a nice chunk of change, but it was worth it. Much better than the powercommander with generig maps in it. Sabin Performance in Dallas did the work.

As far as the 1/4 mile, Greg weighs about 150 to my 190 and he is a much better launcher than me. That bike still scares the crap out of me and I had it for almost 7 years now!


oh.... forgot about this... I lowered the bike a bit and used tie-downs for the runs. Street set-up I was running high 9's all day long.

Yay a Mac user!

[Subfiend]

Yay, more people posted pics. I thought I was going to be one of the few.

Not recommended. That could chew up a lot of bandwidth.
