High RPM highway wheelie + to much oil
= BOOM.
Me, Jim , Skinnie Jim & Rob hit the highway last night. I wanted to see how far I could go old school style - no brake - just throttle control.
I get on the highway in 3rd gear, bounce it up at about 6k. Ride it from the harrison BLVD exit to the stoughton exit on 24, and rob slowed down infront of me so i set it down. when i put it down, i looked backwards to see if Jim was still behind me. I couldn't see 3 lanes across 24 there was so much smoke. Looked like a scene out of spy hunter. So much oil was just pooring out of the pipe. all over the wheels, rotor, 12 bar, plastics. Blew the end cap off the exhaust to let it all out.l Guess running a rull quart over + high RPM w/ the wheel in the air isn't so good for the motor! Clunk clunk clunk smoke.
F.uck!

Jay, what you need is a nice TL1000. And lucky for you, I have one you can buy. More torque than you can shake a stick at. Even idiots like me can do wheelies on it.
don't forget i bought something from you....
