I could probably do with leaning forward more on the launch to keep it down you're right, its something I'll be testing on the next day there

I will do that from now on, I didn't know that about shorts I was just thinking extended swingarm will counteract it wanting to flip at higher rpm launching

But he in not doing it at the strip, so its really meaningless

Mine has a quick shifter and its got more power and it will be a fair chunk lighter, someone who can pin the busa from the lights without flipping or spinning up will wipe the floor with it, i dont think it would be as close as you think, and my starts whilst not lightening quick im still less than half a second behind my mates who have been doing it for a long time so its not all doom and gloom

My thoughts are its all just talk

So it wasn't actually a video of the bike going down the strip, it means nothing

Erm not really, theres nowhere suitable to practice that I know about, and given just how sticky santa pod track is you'll never replicate it so learning off the track is kinda pointless

No i kno, I'll be going next time with a few things in mind to get a better launch and just have a bigger set of bollocks

Well take your barge down the strip and post your timing slip

You could but you won't because you'll get shown up by a Harley?

You need to be taking yours down the strip....

He hasn't had a fag in a day course he's angry.....

Why stop at one turbo..... need one forever each individual cylinder...

I should set up a go fund me page

So what's it to be mate.... yay or nay?

That rear tyre has done 4k miles so its shagged

Hey you still could and I would stick that on the bike

No im just getting a new tyre, wont get a new chain till I get swingarm extension

That last video the bike was a tl1000 turbo running around 370bhp, if he'd have got off the line it would have been good to see a fast bike against a mental fast bike

I'll have plenty more on the 10th August

No and thats the problem with the busa dumping the clutch will just flip it, im being very careful with the clutch in the vids, Shaun and ant are being more brutal with letting their clutches out, in the last video you can hear it spinning up in 2nd and 3rd before it finally hooked up but that was running 42psi in the rear

Also my rear tyre is completely snagged so im getting it changed on Wednesday along with getting it mot'd and I'll be using it for work to get the rear tyre bedded in before I give it some stick at the strip im hoping with a nice new sticky tyre it will hook up better off the line and make it less inclined to spin up, I will try one burnout to see if that makes much difference

This was my first run down the strip
