    Look out for this bike

     OK, any of you fellas in and around VA be on the lookout for this bike, 

    It's a intercooled supercharged Triumph Rocket III, high performance cams, lock-up clutch, with carbon fibre rims, fenders, and cowl, it has rearsets and its owner, Walt has spent several thousands of dollars on it to make it the worlds fastest Rocket.  He intends to prove it this year at Marxton (sp?) at the time trials. Yes he does ride it on the street and although I'venot ridden with him, from what I understand from those that have, he can rail.  So LOOKOUT if happen to be out looking for a race.

    what no NO2?  looks like it should be pretty fast.  Any idea of what he's running in the 1/4?

    Re: Look out for this bike

     The last figure I heard for the weight was around 550 lbs, as to the 1/4 mile, IDK but he is going for top speed not accelleration, but with 170 rwhp s.a.e. and 210 ft. lbs of torque even with the tall gearing, it's still gonna be quick.  And dump trucks just wished they had that much torque.  This guy is an ex Navy Seal type and knows no fear, he regularly embarasses R1's and Busa's with it.  He's still looking for a ZX-14 to dance with, but I estimate that it'll be about the same as the Busa's.

    550 lbs is pretty good for a dump truck...that's lighter than us Warriors!

    Also, he may embarass a STOCK Busa, but mess with a turbo Busa or even a big bore/modded one and the outcome will be different....

    I guess if my bike looked like that I would want it to be fast,so nobody can see what it looks like.It doesnt mater what you ride as long as you ride.

    +1!  Spent a whole lot of $$$$$ and it only looks slightly better than stock.

    He's not embarassing ANY Busas. He might be talking s#it, but no way is that bike embarassing Busas.

    I'd rather dig up Ronald Reagan's corpse, and plant it firmly in the oval office for the next 8 years, than elect any of the bozos running for president today!
