Thanks, that was me. the photo was taken Sunday morning in September, My friend Steve with Brew Racing took that picture.

Thanks. I still have a lot of sorting to do. First run was in the rev limiter. Second run was geared to tall. And the mix was off because I need a bottle heater. But the next run is only six months away. That gives me time to work it out. I checked the motor and everything is good so far.

I took my bike to Ohio last weekend.It was the last race of 2012. Despite a lot of stupid problems like a dead battery on the bike and a leaking hose I did manage to go 123.369mph . That is a personal best, and the fastest anyone has gone on a Kawasaki 250 ninja. This was the first run at...

Hey Guys Sorry I have been gone. I went to Bonneville to race at BUB . It took two weeks to do then I was sick for a week after I got back. Now I am ready to leave for Ohio to run my bike. Bonneville was a blast. I have watched the worlds fastest Indian movie a million times. BUT NOW I can...

After spending a lot of time fiddling with the fuel mixture. I think I got it. The dyno will tell for sure, But this static test is by far the best . The engine goes to 12000 rpm and I quickly let go of the button and then I give it a couple blips of the throttle to clear it out back to idle...

I made some excellent progress over the weekend. I want to run a thirty shot of nitrous on the 34 hp engine, So The first thing is the static test, I did that and it was very rich, I was so rich it just surges and tries to shut off as soon as I hit the button. I figured out what was going on...

Are you doing BUB?

Just some shots of the preparations. It is funny to think. I used to ride this bike to work every day. Now look at it. :o

I am getting ready for the September speed trials. This will be the last run for the season. I have to put together a plan. The first step is to retune the bike for a therty shot of nitrous . The ten hp shot worked very well. I have five weeks to get things together. I did a compresson test...

Thanks. I have a ton of fun racing land speed.

This is a video of a run in Ohio. It is a test run to see how the nitrous worked. I hit the button at 92mph and held it to the finish. the speedo read 110 but the time slip went to 111.0. http://youtu.be/No24RYzUSjc

Action shots are up. Still working on the video. http://dwphotos.photoreflect.com/store/Orderpage.aspx?pi=0U1C004O030192&po=192&pc=360 Is that light under the front tire? No way , it's a 250 :P

I got it on video also. It was what I expected. And the important thing is NO ENGINE DAMAGE from the Wiizards of Nitrous system. Now I will have untill September to sort out the exhaust on the dyno and add a 20 hp shot of nitrous. I also had fun meeting the guys filming cafe racer TV ...

Made a nitrous pass this morning. Was at 101 at the 1/2 mile mark and waited to the 3/4 marked. The nitrous has a 4 second ramp up and the bike pulled smooth to 111 mph.

Today was messed up. 112 deg at the start line. 4500 feet relitive altitude and a 10 mph head wind. Removing the baffle from the exhaust was a huge mistake. The engine would not run. I made five aborted passes . Rejjeting the carb changing plugs checking things . Nothing worked. I put in the...

I think I found a problem. I made a couple baffles for my dual exhaust. Back pressure is good got the 250 ninja engine. It helps with the torque. when I made the baffles I made them with 17mm outlets. I knew that was small and intended to open them up on the dyno. Never went to the dyno. I went...

I haven't got a clew. The motor makes 34 hp + and I have nitrous jetting for 10 20 or 30 hp. So I could have as much as 60 hp . But that is on paper. Let's see what it does on concrete.

thanks Bruno I am ready to go racing. Working round the clock to get this right, I did the static test. http://youtu.be/iutDqaySIIE I should have held the button longer to let the engine rev higher. But I was afraid of floating a valve with only three days left to go. I am ready to test...

Auto motorcycle mechanic. Mostly euro trash and Japanise cars. I hate cars. But I can Fix them.

I got the system mocked up tonight. I now have to finish the hoses and fit the jets and fill the bottles. First I freeze the bottles . then I will fill them.1.5 lb each. Then I will do a thing called a static test . I warm up the engine and while at about 2500rpm I push the button. If the...
