That gives me a GREAT idea!
"Moto BS" champion.
(of course we'll have to start a new thread in the "Anything Else" section)
Come up with your best story, should have some nearly plausible tech facts, maybe some amazing dyno and flow charts with extrapolated curves based on your own personal beliefs.
Photoshopped pictures will be accepted as fact.
Additional details involving animals, women and alcoholic beverages should be expected.are good for extra points.
Cool team names and sponsors will earn extra points.
Descriptions of amazing race feats throughout the season
We'll let the thread run all year, then crown the champion.
EVERYONE CAN ENTER!

Well Steve, things were happening so fast I was shifting at a perceived
5500rpm but it was spinning up so fast I bet it was more like 6000rpm by the
time the shift took place(a pause for huge grin here). I don't think you
need to spin it up more than that for the street. I would say Mr. Owen is
spot on at 6200rpm. I looked at the plugs and they look perfect. They were
cold plugs from my BSA. (N5C Champions). I may just have to take it out
again first thing now that I know everything is fine in the combustion
chamber. I won't be sleeping much tonight either because I can't wait to
jump on again and go for a blast and it's only 30 deg. here. I don't really
care if it is -30 deg I'm riding this baby.
YEEEEEEEEEHHHHAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
I just took the bike out for it's first run around the block. It runs great! I have to wait for colder plugs or I would have never come home. It takes a bit getting use to working the fuel shut off but I am getting the hang of it. Other than a little bit of fuel spill now and then it is a great mod. The sound of the blower can be heard inside my fullface Shoie helmet and over the boom of the Dunstall silencers. I still have to do some polishing and replace one of my oiginal leaking petcocks but this thing is awesome. I have always wanted an 850 Commando and I never would have even imagined I could have a supercharged one. I will send photos when it is completed to my satisfaction but let me tell you this.
I ride a nitrous injected Honda 996 Superhawk as a daily ride and I have a few GP race bikes but nothing, I repeat NOTHING!! stirs my soul like this setup. The only other mod will be a steering damper because the bike lifts up in every gear now and it upsets the steering and a gunfighter seat from Corbin to keep me from sliding off the back of the bike when I twist the throttle. In closing all I can say is YEEEEEHAWWWWWWWW]
