They use smaller or low cut tanks so you can tuck behind the fairing for better aerodynamics...
The 208 for most is respectable but when you can easily foot shift teathing 211.9's all motor a 208 isn't a highlight for myself. :dozingoff: It is, what it is though. I like to give you folks the good, the bad and everything in between.
Things happen but at least you had fun, meet some nice people, and had a blast!
Even if you went a tad bit slower than a nitrous bike with a jockey on board, you are still doing great for a private guy. I'd expect a little more if you owned your own shop, dyno, etc.. It's also great to see that you give all the facts and don't just tell people the good while leaving out ALL of the bad.
Congrats again, a true sportsman!
I've never been to an event where every run is picture perfect. Every LSR event I've raced (which has only been 5 events) have always had a few issues. I consider myself a seasoned rookie . Sheesh, now that I think about it, that equates to only one complete ECTA season. Since everything is out of pocket for myself it's been a long journey. I've done well at acheiving my own goals and am even more proud of all the others I've helped along the way. LSR has always been in my blood. It's so much more than just your personal achieements. Some get it some don't.
Deb, I started a new thread titled Ignition cover or something that will go into the details of the crack in the cover.
