Seems fun, but I do not need ANOTHER hobby/money pit :sidelaugh

 

[bwdbrn1]

No kidding. I got off on one of those youtube tangents and looked at a bunch of them that had souped up twins on them. Good golly, they're like modified dirt track race cars! But boy, it sure would be fun to try.

I can spend hours on you tube, a simple search for working on something leads to 18 wheelers doing burn outs and drag racing to people farting on the news and you think ..... HOW DID I GET HERE??!!??

They have races up in Mendota in June. Seems like there might be a chapter office or headquarters up there.

There's a chapter in Tampico!

It definitely looks like a lot of fun but there is no way I can get that past my wife....er....uh, I mean, uh justify it to myself, yea, thats what I mean!

Oooohhhh, I don't know...I think I could enjoy this.

And check the sound of this twin!

And this one.

The Brits seem to take it very seriously too. Check out the guys on sulkys in the beginning. Somehow it seems all so proper when you hear it from a guy named Ian Ratcliff.:2th:

And check the sound of this twin!

Now that actually sounds, really, pretty good!

If I was listening to the video and didn't already know what kind of machine it was, I would guess the sound was coming from a smaller displacement, modified, v-twin motorcycle. It sounds nothing at all like the engine does stock!

I hear you there.

Great sound with those fancy headers but made my back hurt watching the guys bouncing around.

I'd probably do better with a pulling tractor. Slower speed and shorter duration of the bouncing.

 

[bwdbrn1]

Maybe drag racing! Tune up that old Murray:ThumbUp:

Now if you could put a deck under one of those and efficiently cut grass you might have something there! :ThumbUp:

We go and watch it every year at the local county fair, Un-fortunately, Where I live You cant own a lawn tractor... And if you could, there's no point, The lots are too small....

Just one of the many Joys of living in the suburbs.

Also I can 100% agree, Youtube Is a real time waster!
