0-90 I would give you a real good run.
But if your in the neighborhood I would love to test my theories :-)
Motorrad's current build should be able to start in 3rd and kill us both to 100.

Seems like a road trip I have to make in the interest of science.

I've been wanting to take a trip like that. Just don't have that kind of time or even funds for that long of a trip. Maybe next summer.
Brute:
Was looking at the KX5 while working on the SuMo conversion. Pull it clear down and powder coat the frame, or get it together and running, then next winter pull it down (MAYBE) and then do the full meal deal.
I have a habit of getting projects working then later (or not) pulling them down and make 'em pretty.
Looking pretty cool with the stuff I bought already! Not sure adding a powder coat frame would add that much to it. Want to ride it this summer. Thoughts?
