THE W8LESS MASTER HEADS TO BONNEVILLE-- After a long awaited front tire change Friday after the U P S truck arrived, I hauled ass from San Jose late Friday evening, ADDICTION .... LIFE in the fast lane . MORE ADRENALINE please. DESTINATION ... Wendover , Utah , 644 miles one way . DREAM...150 mph on a 2004 Dyna with 35,000 miles on a 124 inch motor . Spent the night in Reno arriving at the track 3 o'clock Sat afternoon. Track closed due to wind . Early Sunday morning the last day of the event .. track closed. At noon--perfect weather, adrenaline started to flow.
RACE READY? I hoped. Mirrors removed, lenses taped, hot rod and gear scrutinized by officials. Rode to the starters area to be cleared for a trip to the starting line.
STARTING LINE: Once the track cleared the starter waved a huge green flag, giving me the go ahead to HAUL ASS...your mind goes blank, your eyes are straight ahead it was time to ease into low gear (ADRENALINE IN HIGH GEAR ) and idle out. I had 2 miles to get up to speed. Around 120 or so my feet shifted to the rear pegs, head down, knees in tight and preparing for a hand shift into 5th gear. Then I held onto the front fork with my left hand and held the throttle wide open . Mile markers were flying past and my '04 Dyna hot rod purred like a sewing machine on a slot track, what- a - fukin - rush .
Run # 1 147.098 kilo
Run # 2 98.036 WTF happened ?
My last pass was made at 12:02 pm, the last pass of the 2008 Bubs Event. Next to the worlds fastest motorcycle.
