Pmcg:
That is fast for a kx bike

I need to get it out somewhere in 5th and wind the springs out of it just to see where I'm at...
Then I will work on making it faster :evil:

Took the tard out for a spin on Saturday afternoon.
At 48 degrees F out I admit that it wasn't the best day but I was itchin to get it out and blow the cob webs off it.
After I warmed it up I took it up to 100 mph and backed off.
Man this thing is running good.
Do you know how cold it is a 100 mph when it is 48 degrees F out?
The good thing was it didn't take long to get there and with my current gearing I know it has a little more to give.
The funny thing is, it's never fast enough :shock:
So it's time to get going with this engine and start assembling it.
Once I get the bottom end assembled then I can degree wheel it and finish my final port set up, machine the cylinder to it's correct height, then it's off to plating.
Then at some point I still have to get my suspension done.
It would be nice to have all that buttoned up by this Spring but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Watch your jetting. That cold weather will make you pull a usmc

that's warm compared to rippin across Moosehead Lake in Maine at a 110mph in a cool -25 below zero on a sunny mid February afternoon.
