XB12R race bike takes second at Dyno Shootout

Now that the season is over I've got time to start plotting on how to improve next season! But all that was put on hold on October 11 when sponsor Silver Eagle Harley-Davidson/Buell held their bi-annual Dyno Shootout. It's a great opportunity to show off the bike and talk to folks about the past race season as well as see some very strong bikes on the dyno.

This year another sponsor, John Kahrs, my AMSOIL guy had a booth set up there as he has recently added the dealership to his growing client base. His distributor Don Smith came down to see what all the fuss is about and I think he was impressed with how the day went.

The good news was that my 1125R street bike won the top Buell class at 138 hp/77 ft lbs torque and the race bike was second with 96.5 hp/82 ft lbs torque. Yep, the race bike's got plenty of oats so this winter, I'm on a mission to try to upgrade my fitness to better manipulate it next season.

Stay tuned...
