    Already done AND still legal with light. Not that this bike will see much street time though...I bought it play with at the strip. I have a 93 Honda VFR for a street bike.

    They are nice as well...just everyone and their brother has one. I like to be different. Almost all the dragbikes here are busa's, gixxer 1k and the occasional zx14 and zx10.

    Seems the 14 is much easier on the wallet as well. It don't take as much modding as the busa to run the same numbers. Both fast as hell though.

    The one up in Gilliam. Used to be RedRiverRaceway, now it's call Thunderroad Race park. Come on out tonight. Gates open at 7pm, racing at 8 until 1 am.

    We need to support our local tracks...if not, they go away.
